Daydreamer and proud of it - why we are particularly happy
No, it's not always easy to be a daydreamer. I forget where I put the key, sweaty off and on really important dates, which has often brought me a lot of trouble. In addition, I need a lot of time for myself, often grinning without reason and really stupid in the area around or drift off at meetings. It's also not easy to be friends with a daydreamer, to work with him or not? very hard number? to be with him. Because often only an empty shell is present, the rest of the dreamer floats in the clouds. Yes, having a daydreamer like me to deal with is really not what I think.
Daydreams: Life can be so much more than reality
And yet I am glad to have retained this ability. Yes, it is right to have preserved. Because each of us used to be a little dreamer. To be precise, we are all born as daydreamers. One a little more, the other a little less. In adolescents like me, a special network in the brain remains particularly active in adulthood, which otherwise mainly uses children: the Default Mode Network. This network enables stimulus-independent thinking. Ever watched playing children who seem completely immersed in their game? The same phenomenon can be observed in adult dreamers. Only that the game takes place in the head. Just like children, daydreaming people can create whole parallel worlds, so in their minds study medicine again, open a yoga center in Bali or, on very crazy days, learn to fly from an eagle. This is like a lifetime of gift. For daydreamers rarely distinguish between reality and fantasy. Both can make us happy right away.
Daydreamers are smarter
Incidentally, daydreamer are not as viable as they like to be said. Clearly they seem scattered, absent and chaotic. But when it comes down to it, they're right on the ball. Studies have shown that daydreamers are in the forefront, especially in the field of fluid intelligence. Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve problems, think abstractly and learn. Yes, right, to learn. So dear parents, relax, if you have a particularly dreamy child at home. it will rock in school. At least when it matters!
Ergo: Daydreamers are not so bad as their reputation. And if you are nice to them, let them have a dream too. Happiness can you share? even if it is only dreamed.
