Daydreams

To sum up what I have researched about daydreams, here is what I have put together....
Daydreams are fleeting and wondering thoughts that people have awaken during the day. The content in a daydream helps to understand true feelings and helpful thoughts and goals one will have.  You will imagine various spontaneous images or experiences in your future. It is said that worrying can be considered daydreaming as well. When you worry, you visualize unwanted or negative outcomes. When you are always worrying, you are most likely to make that worry happen because you are repeating those negative images. Daydreams can be very efficient to a person also. They help you envision what you want out of life, and help you to be successful, as long as you believe in yourself. Just like negative images, you can daydream of positive images to make them happen. Positive daydreaming can be a release of frustration, stress, it can improve attitude, strengthen creativity, and refresh the mind, body and spirit. Unconscious thinking can be revealed through daydreams as well. 

Types of daydreams: disaster, escape, dealing with glory, love or revenge
Repeated daydreaming could mean you need to deal with and confront a particular situation.

They can become a disorder-unable to differentiate between a dream and reality.

GD Seminar Project Proposal

This project is going to deal with self-portraiture and the analysis of my own different types of dreams.  There are many types of dreams that occur in all of us. These particular dreams would be daydreams, lucid dreams, nightmares, recurring dreams, healing dreams, prophetic dreams, signal dreams, and epic dreams. These are just some types of dreams I have come across so far. With each dream, I am going to relate the dreams I have had with he definitions of each type of dream. The self-portraits that i am going to take will portray each specific dream.  

Identifying each dream with the types of dreams that I will research and using self-portraits to portray each dream will tell a story of myself and will give the dreams their own identity. The meaning of each dream will make each self-portrait stronger.
