[indestructible]

I am a frequent daydreamer and have been my whole life. Although it does help me be creative, it wastes a lot of time and I find sometimes it is simply a means of escape. I have really enjoyed reading the posts above because now I know that I am not alone!

In the past year I have quit drinking coffee (which used to wreck my attention span) and learned a lot about meditation. Those two things together have helped. Meditiation helps because it focuses on staying in the present instead of being in dream land. I think it is a richer life if I am truly engaged instead of escaped! Pema Chodron has some really good books about it and I even joined a Zen Meditation Center (where you have to stare at a wall and think of nothing) for a short time.

I am still a dreamer, but I think I now do it about 2x as much as the regular person rather than 10x. I hope this helps others in the same situation!
