Do you always daydream? You know, you're sitting in your sofa, hands in your chin, or leaning your head in the table, looking somewhere while smiling without reason, you are daydreaming about your favorite Hollywood actors or actresses having a date and that is your happiest day ever, or you're replacing Rose character in Titanic and you will save Jack and you too will be saved because you have a super power, like witch and you will live happily ever after.
Daydreaming, Imagining and Fantasizing, their meaning is all the same to me, just to me okay. I feel like I was daydreaming and then I will think that I'm imagining too, and fantasizing I don't know which is which.
I often do that, before, but now I just do it when I feel bored or like when I want to sleep. Sometimes I do it while washing my clothes, I don't know if it's a daydreaming or fantasizing but, according to Mr. Wiki, daydream is when your mind wanders or roams and your attention shifts or change from the task at hand either it's physically or mentally, to a place that is entirely your own. Well, yes my mind always wander around, I always Imagining or daydreaming as like this like that or whatsoever, or is it fantasizing? I really can't see the difference of that 3 words.
Daydreams consist of little videos of yourself in past, future and present events. Oh yes, I always daydream that I'm a police officer or I will be a hacker in the future, something like that, then I will create a story with a plot in my mind, fantasizing too that I have a millionaire boyfriend who always pick me in my workplace with his Ferrari, or a Mustang, haha my imagination is always so so, but all of my daydreams has no end, I don't know how to end it.
I will just share to you what I always Imagine or fantasizing? when I'm daydreaming.
Okay, I do this when I'm washing my clothes, it's hand washing, I'm not using a machine, I'm just thinking of our electric bill that's why I'm not using it. I always imagine myself as like this to feel motivated while washing my clothes, I need some motivation so that I won't feel bored, I really feel like not washing my clothes if I don't do this, that was before, but now with the help of music I can forget imagining things, is that weird to you? Haha, okay here it goes...
Imagination Number 1
I sometimes imagine myself as an expert in taekwondo, that I'm a black belter and that I won several award I even go to the Olympic Games already and I am a gold medalist, then my favorite stunt is flying kick that it was my finishing move to win the game, haha, seriously I have a veeeery cool imagination. And then something will happen, like while I'm in a mall looking for a food stall, I accidentally see a man in all black suit, holding a gun and aiming it to someone, a woman who's busy taking care of her son in the crib, I didn't think much, I just did what I need to do, because the man in black suit is not that far from me, I run like I saw my Oppa's, I didn't waste anymore second and run as fast as I can and did my flying kick yeah, if you already watch the Kdrama Series "Fight for my Way," imagine me doing that, haha, but the difference is Dongman's move is more cool than what I do, but I really want to try it too, it is called Roundhouse Kick, he takes into position and then spin ang then boom, it's really cool. You can just say "Take that bi*ch!" And that pretty much it, I don't know what's the end, I already finish my laundry so I finish the story too.
I'm imagining all of this but in reality I can't really do it, huhuhu!!! But I'm imagining it too because I really want to have that skill, you know when I was in elementary, I started reading pocketbooks in that time I think I'm in Grade 5 or 6, I always read the one of "Andrea Almonte's series" I don't know if some of you here are familiar with this, it's a tagalog pocketbook so I'm not sure haha. Some of this book has a you know action scenes and I like I mean I love that kind of books. So, when I read a books about something and I really like that scene, I will imagine that too and make myself as the protagonist. I love to write a stories too ever since I learned to read a pocketbooks, just Tagalog, no english okay. But everytime a write, there is a different scenarios in my mind that I don't know what to write anymore, I mean I want this to happen but then new scene will appear in my mind and then everything will mixed up, and my mind will be like 😵. And then I won't finish it, and a new story will appear again in my mind, and I won't finish it again because, I don't know how to end a story, 🤦. I'm hopeless, that's why I stop writing already.
This is the number 2, this is what I always use or a scenario that is my favorite and I want it to happpen in reality, so much!!
Imagination Number 2
Okay, this is the most used plot in my daydreaming, if this is really a daydreaming. Same plot but with different scenarios. I imagine that I won on Super Lotto 6/55 today, I am the only winner of P599,947,737.75 million, that I am so happy. Then, I will talk to mom and I will tell her that I will go to batangas where my brother and 2 sister is working, I didnt tell her that I won, I want it to be a surprise, you know when I get the money prize I will open a bank account for them and give them a million pesos, and I will surprise my siblings, because I didn't tell them that I will travel from our town to them, I will treat them outside to Jolibee or samgyup, them I will buy them a smartphone, we will have a good time and once we're in their apartment, I will give their Bank book to them, hahaha. "Imagination mo ang Limit!" Krim stix. And after that I will ask them to just go back in our province and start a business, buy a land and build a home for their future family. And then I will come back again in our province, but before that I will buy some pasalubong to my mothers first. And then when I get home I will surprise them too by telling them that I actually won in a lotto, haha. I will also donate some money as anonymous in our church here, I will buy a truck of rice and I will give it to the people of Bansud, 1 sack per family, with a money off course, and because I already finish what I'm doing, that will be the end of my imagination too, haha.
I just love to daydream or imagine or whatsoever, I feel like I'm experiencing it even in my mind. I don't know if what I'm doing is healthy but, this is just the the only thing I can do for now, Daydreaming, imagining what I actually want to do or to be, even if it's just an imagination, I can also feel satisfaction by just doing that, If I can't sleep I will just Imagine something until I didn't notice that I already fall asleep, or even when I'm on the comport room while doing some sh*t, I will imagine something too, and when I finished it, the story will end too.
This is not just what I'm imagining I have a long list here but I will just cut it because, it will take up to 50 minutes Reading time if I continue it, hahaha.
How about you? What is the difference of Daydreaming, Imagining and Fantasizing? Do you do that too?
