Life wasted in dreams?

February 16, 2009 1:39pm CST
I sometimes feel, okay often feel, that I spend more time dreaming about the life I wish I had than actually living my real life. I just wanted to know if anyone ever feels the same way? I mean I have dreams and aspirations that I aim for, but sometimes I find myself wanting to go to bed early just so I can close my eyes and imagine a different life...is this stupid? I know I will never have the life I dream of, but its comforting to feel it for a few hours before I sleep. It would really make me feel better to know other people experience this :o)!!!

I've thought this many times, for sure, but now I am starting to convince myself that I may have the life that I dream of. What kind of life do you dream of anyway? Maybe yours is possible too. When I do catch myself daydreaming, I stop myself and see where I'm at and how it makes me happy too. We can be just blinded by our imaginations.

I think thats good that you can open your eyes and realise that you are living your dream. I hope to do that one day...all i need is some money to make it happen!! Thanks for your comment

True, money is hard to get... but if you really want it, it can happen! Good luck!

I do the same thing. I often dream of how I wish things were, but I'm pretty shy and withdrawn, so I've never been very good at implementing them :) So, your not alone. Turning dreams into reality can be a difficult task
