You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time. "On the contrary," says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology (心理学), "daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day... You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious (无意识的) mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then many be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues. " Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, "We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. . . Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life. " |
