Today, I'm going to share a passage from the book Daydreaming by Dianne Barth. I choose something from the chapter What is daydreaming? to share with you. I picked this to read because it's a topic that is fascinating to me, and I think it's very interesting.
             Daydreams, like night dreams, are experienced differently by each of us. You may enjoy yours, whereas your best friend worries about or is distracted by his. But perhaps you are not even sure what we mean by "daydreams," and you wonder if you have them at all.
             This question is not surprising. Daydreams are elusive entities, hard to pin down and equally hard to define. According to Dr. Jerome Singer, a psychologist at Yale University and a pioneer in the study of mental imagery, one of the problems is that there is no general agreement on exactly what a daydream is. He suggests that daydreams are personal reveries, internal monologues, or fantasies.
             According to Dr. Singer, daydreams generally involve a shift away from something that we're trying to focus on in the outside world and toward some private responses to something going on inside of us. Dr Singer tells us that daydreams can be "pictures in the minds eye," memories of the past or ideas about the future, awareness of our bodily sensations and our emotions, and "those little inner voices we hear talking to us somewhere in the back of our heads."
