I find that daydreams are oftentimes similar in this respect to real dreams the kind we experience in an unconscious state. Our mind puts together scenic imagery and simulated interactions in a seemingly designless irregular and often circuitous manner. We may think the substance of the dream is simply an agglomeration of thoughts ideas and experiences but in truth it may be pulling inspiration from somewhere deep down within. It may be the result of some unfulfilled desire or possibly the expression of some dark hidden fear like spiders or clowns.
Have you ever noticed how when youre happy time seems to pass by fast while when youre miserable it goes real slow Life would have been a blink with you whether it lasted a millennium or a month.
