You cannot accomplish what you cannot conceptualize, you must first do it mentally and then do it physically. If I start out to build something I first construct it in my mind and then do the actual building. My last project was a large overhead arbor for my grape vines. I built it in my mind and then modified it until it looked the way I wanted before I picked up the first post. Nearly thirty years ago I started a business the same way, I visualized the whole thing until when I actually did it it was like acting a part that had been well rehearsed. That business supported my needs for twenty years. I have done other projects the same way. This is what “dreaming” means to me, to create something mentally and then either turn it into reality or conclude that it wasn’t such a good idea and save yourself a lot of heartache and expense, apparently to you it means idle daydreaming with no intention of doing anything except escape into a fantasy world.
By the way, the total absence of a fantasy life in an adult is a sign of severe mental problems.
Right. BUT our culture places ENTIRELY TOO MUCH emphasis on the value and purpose of ‘dreaming’
I think you know what I mean.
