What is a daydream?

One kind of dream that people like to talk about is daydreaming. Daydreaming is usually regarded as a kind of fantasy, its biggest feature is that it can surpass reality, break time and space, meet some psychological needs of people, and even have an irreplaceable sense of pleasure.

Scientists have found that occasionally daydreaming is good for your physical and mental health. When people daydream, the brain is very active, if the dream has the right direction, or good for physical and mental health, some psychologists have used this method to help patients with mental illness out of the dilemma.

So what are the positive effects of daydreaming on mental health?

Daydreaming first brings unparalleled pleasure, when the human body feels relaxed and comfortable. In real life, we always have to abide by all kinds of social rules and accept all kinds of constraints, which is called 'personality mask' by psychology, which gives us great trouble. When we daydream, we can discard these masks and let our minds become broader. When people are immersed in it, the real world becomes distant, and we can't help but enter a dreamy state of intoxication.

Once the mind is open, people's potential can be easily stimulated. Our daydreams may be able to provide the answers to the things we are puzzled about during the day. It is said that Balzac often talked to the characters in his novels, and this state of daydreaming about himself always gave him new ideas. Many inventions also start with daydreams.

In the face of daydreaming, we should use the right attitude to understand. Daydreaming can indeed provide a wide scope for contemplation, helping us to see the mind more fully. In addition, there is always a time for self-deception in reality, and in daydreaming we may confront reality, forcing us to see ourselves more objectively. Of course, fantasy is not reality after all, we still have to restrain irrational fantasy, only let fantasy become an ornament of life. You can make fantasy icing on the cake, but you can't use fantasy to weave the blueprint of life.
