Suburban Warrior Syndrome

Video games, movies, and books all help us get away from reality for the time we are glued to their attention. Psychologyist Steven Jay Lynn says "Day dreams and fantasy play a vital role in everyday life, they inspire us," and later says how they take up about half of our day too. 

These fantasies help people dream about how they wish their life was or even inspires them to try and live life as their fantasy character. 


So my question is, Do you think daydreaming is a big part of your life, if so what do u like to daydream about and how does it help your life?

I actually do think daydreaming is a big part of my life. Daydreaming distracts me from reality when I'm not in the mood to face it. When I feel this way, I go on my swing, listen to music, and think about life as it were perfect. I think about what I want to happen but probably won't. The only problem is, you can't live life like that. You'll eventually have to face it at some point when the distractions wear off.

Daydreaming takes us a big part of my life, and usually occurs unconsciously. I enjoy most of my daydreaming as well, since it brings up a more optimistic view of my future and encourages me to strive for the best. Of course, not all my daydreams are exactly glitz and glamor, but for the most part, they influence what I do and how I think.
You don't have to live by your daydreams religiously, but they do help get by the day and entertain you when times seem dull.

I think that day dreaming is a big part of my life, especially when I am in school. Thats when it mostly happens. I like to day dream about what my life could turn out to be or what I could to change something or do accomplish something, but mostly guys and thats what most girls do day dream about that one guy they like and how they can get them. When I day dream I think it puts me in a better mood then I might have been when I first woke up or got to school. Say you see this guy you like and you want to date him but in reality he wants to wait, you are sad but then when you day dream about him then it makes you happy so in a sence I think day dreaming is a good thing.

Daydreaming is a huge part of my life. When I daydream, it's usually when I picture my life if I were to do something. Or if I see a random guy that I think is cute, I may daydream of what our life would be like together. It might sound weird, but I can't help it. I think it helps people to daydream because usually day dreaming consists of happy thoughts instead of sad thoughts.

I think daydreaming is a big part of life because everyone does it even though they may deny it. I would like to daydream about a lot of things that are very different from eachother. It helps my life by helping me stay on track and it sort of helps me do better in classes.

I think daydreaming is a big part of my life, along with everyone elses. Daydreaming is just something that happens when people get off track, or bored. I daydream about things that make me happy or sometimes I may day dream about something that I am stressed out about, and how I will go about resolving the problem. Day dreaming helps my life by making me more optimistic. It helps me to keep my priorities straight.

Daydreaming is not what I would say a big part of my life, but there are some days where I will be somewhere that I dont want to be because its boring and I would just daydream. Most of the time it's not purposely that I would be daydreaming, most of the time I would just catch myself daydreaming. I usually will daydream about things that are constantly on my mind like what I need to get done after school and what is going to interfere with what I need to do. Another thing that I might daydream about are people that I miss, like my parents, and the good times that i used to have with them.

Daydreaming is actually a huge part of my life everyday. It can help you to think of something else when you are upset or angry, or just not ready to face the day. You can see yourself however you want and it can be a tremendous relief when you feel yourself pressured or not living up to standards. In dreams, anything can happen, and I think that's why it happens to all of us frequently. I usually find myself daydreaming about being somewhere else where i can relax and take time to think. It gives us a chance to get away even if it's only for a short time.

I daydream a lot trhoughout the day but mostly in school. There's many times where you can just relax in a class or just get bored so daydreaming just starts naturaly whether you realize it or not. It helps me in many different ways for instance, when I have loads of things on my mind, I can find time to think/plan what I'm going to do. It speeds up my to do list. ALso, when I'm swimming laps, usually daydreaming about random things helps me relax and keep my pace. It makes the workout seem much shorter!

Daydreaming is a big part of my life. I daydream during my classes and anytime im not involved in anything. For me it helps me realize what i want to do in life. Without daydreams we would be without dreams and then not aspiring to get anywhere in ife. To be successful you need to be motivated and to be motivated you need to be accomplishing your dream.
