This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. 71 B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 72 C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes. Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 73 A. Having interesting things to think about also helps. And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task---preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
Its also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 74 E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive. Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.75 G. Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.

白日做梦指的是人们想着一些愉快的事情，尤其是当这让他们忘记自己本该做什么的时候。白日梦者因对周围发生的事情浑然不觉而名声不佳。他们可能看起来丢三落四且笨手笨脚。71. 他们会凝视着远方，独自神游。他们让我们恼火，因为他们似乎在忽视我们，错过重要的事情。
但白日梦者也促成了人类历史上一些最伟大的想法和成就。72. 若没有天马行空的思绪，我们就不会有相对论、可口可乐或者便利贴。你能想象没有这些想法和发明，我们的世界会是什么样吗？
那么，怎样才能想出绝妙的白日梦，同时又不会被树根绊倒，或者避免显得像个傻瓜呢？ 首先，要明白有些时候做白日梦的机会比其他时候更好。感到安全和放松会帮助你沉浸于白日梦之中。73. 有有趣的事情可想也会有所帮助。而且如果你想在做白日梦时增加想出创造性点子的机会，试着在做其他事情时进行 —— 最好是一些简单的事情，比如洗澡、散步，甚至是随意涂鸦。
当你确实需要集中注意力的时候，知道如何避免白日梦也很重要。“正念”，即专注，是一些人用来防止睡着的一种方法。74. 它包括缓慢、平稳的呼吸以实现自我控制，帮助人们保持冷静和专注。最后，你永远不知道当你的思绪慢慢游离时，会突然冒出什么奇妙的想法。75. 因此，当你处于白日梦状态时，在身边备一个笔记本或录音设备是个好主意。
永远记住，你最棒的想法可能会在你思绪飘飞的时候出现。
