Funny. I'm currently trying to do more of that as part of my LoA practice, especially the ideal future part.

I used to daydream a lot, but I've phased it out over time, mostly because it was the unconscious type of daydreaming. I'd just drift off into fantasy land, and when I eventually regained conscious awareness I was often stumped to realize that I'd spent 20 minutes daydreaming and could barely recall what about. Plus, not all the paths my mind took were that positive. Many times I just vividly imagined negative scenarios, and went over them again and again like a mind game trying to figure out the best possible way to handle them.

Currently I'm trying to restrict myself to fully conscious daydreaming (if you can still call it that), wherein I choose the most positive scenarios I can imagine, and I try to experience them as vividly as possible.
