Daydreaming is not a sign that you're crazy and it's not a sign that you're going senile. As a matter of fact, the older you get the less you daydream. So if you're still having active daydreams, it shows your mind is still active and embrace it. Go with it. Have a good day dream.

Another great way to use daydreaming, as a tool is to use it to help fall asleep. When we get in bed, we toss and turn because of the bills, we have to pay are the fight that we had earlier in the day or worrying about retirement. All of these things, keep us awake instead. Daydream pretend that you have just been elected president and you can do anything you want at all. Really anything. I bet you'll be asleep in two or three minutes.

Today, one of the benefits of daydreaming is that you can help ease pain during difficult times. For example, if you're having a medical procedure, you can have a long detailed Daydream that helps ease the pain. It's called the Amnesia effect and it happens when you use your brain to think about something other than the pain, instead of thinking about what the doctor is doing focus on a fantasy when you're the king of the world.

Studies have shown that our brain has two networks, the default is associated with self-reflection and creativity the other. The executive part of our brain is associated with planning and problem solving, and doing math. The only time when your brain goes on both networks is when you're Daydreaming.

For the last couple of weeks we have been talking about nighttime dreaming so I thought we should talk a little bit about daytime dreaming too. Do you Daydream? How often? What percent of your day is daydreaming? Do you think that you're unusual for how often you do it? I'll give you some details and whether it's good or bad right after this....

Good news, It's good for you, almost everyone does it. The shocking thing is what percent of the day we do it. 47 of our day is spent daydreaming and it is good for you. It makes you much more creative, amongst many other benefits. I'll talk about some of those this week. This is amazing though if you have a problem and need to solve it, you're 41 more likely to solve it if you daydream for 12 minutes first.

My favorite type of dream is the flying dream, I just lean back with my arms wide and fall into it and just take flight. It's so much fun. It means that I am feeling free and that I have independence or if it's dark, it could mean that I'm trying to flee or Escape the realities of life.

Most people say that the test dream is either their first or second worst dream, that's the dream. When you're failing to test, you're sitting there taking it or about to get it back from the teacher and, you know, that you're going to get an F. If you have that dream, it means you probably are going to do that. You need to study some more. It's your brain's way of telling you, you're not ready.

With death dreams, it's very important who dies in the dream. If you yourself diet doesn't mean that you're afraid of dying, it probably means that you have fear of the unknown in your anxious about a person saved change. That's about to happen. If someone else dies in the dream, it's probably because you are mourning the passage of time. Like if a child dies in one of your dreams, you're upset that they're growing up in getting ready to move out.

If you're being chased in your dreams, the experts say you're trying to avoid something in your daily life and that you probably are trying to escape your own fears and desires. If the pursuer is an animal, you are probably hiding your own anger. And if someone of the opposite sexist, chasing you, you might be afraid of love.

Last week we talked about dreams and how to remember them more frequently this week. Let's talk about what those dreams mean. Usually we all have fairly similar dreams and they have deep dark secret meaning. So let's dive on to this psychiatrist couch and talk about what falling dreams mean right after this.

Psychiatrists believe that falling dreams are an internal sign that something in your life isn't going very well and that you probably know it, you should probably rethink a recent choice or reconsider a new direction, in some part of your life, because something is wrong, and you know it, oh, and the idea that if you hit the ground in your dream, while you're falling, that you'll die, that's not true. Thank goodness.
