daydreams I don't know if I'm any more or less of a daydreamer than most people. Perhaps I am just more aware of it than others. For instance, many people wrongly assume that they don't dream while sleeping because they don't remember anything, yet it has been proven that everyone dreams while sleeping, whether they remember it or not. I once read an article by a particle physicist who said that most discoveries did not happen in the laboratory, but were the result of daydreaming in the three B's - bed, bath and bus. It's also said that Einstein used to hold a steel ball over a metal pan and then close his eyes, teetering in a dreamy state on the edge of sleep. If he drifted too deeply and stumbled into sleep - thwack! - the steel ball would hit the pan and pull him back. His daydreams of riding on a beam of light helped him develop the theory of relativity. Now doesn't this seem like a state of mind that has been much overlooked? A state of mind we should be teaching in school rather than admonishing? I certainly think it is a state of mind worth exploring. So I decided to catch and record a few of these fragile mental bubbles as they float past the edge of my awareness. And while I can't say that I've developed any astounding theories as a result, I have talked to sparrows, turned into a frog and been a good guitarist as you will see if you decide to read further.
