Daydreaming is a short-term detachment from one's immediate surroundings, during which a person's contact with reality is blurred and partially substituted by a visionary fantasy, especially one of happy, pleasant thoughts, hopes or ambitions, imagined as coming to pass, and experienced while awake.
There are many types of daydreams, and there is no consistent definition amongst psychologists, however the characteristic that is common to all forms of daydreaming meets the criteria for mild dissociation.
Negative aspects of daydreaming begun to be stressed after human work became dictated by the motion of the tool. As craft production was largely replaced by assembly line that did not allow for any creativity, no place was left for positive aspects of daydreaming. It not only became associated with laziness, but also with danger.
For example, in the late 19th century, Toni Nelson argued that some daydreams with grandiose fantasies are self-gratifying attempts at "wish fulfillment". Still in the 1950s, some educational psychologists warned parents not to let their children daydream, for fear that the children may be sucked into "neurosis and even psychosis".
I think it's time For something different
That's why I'm giving you my best wishes
I'll wake in time
Set the coarse full speed ahead
And if I could take back what I said
You know I would
I'm trapped in a daydream
And I'm sinking so fast
So I'll pick up the slack
And then get rid of all my fears
So that is that
I think you set the trap
But I can't slice through time
Without you by my side
In my shoulder I feel this stiffness
I'm just looking out for your best interest
As long as I'm alive
So now I'm head over heals
I hope you know exactly how it feel
