That is interesting. If true, it also has some interesting implications when it comes to the emotional transfer that I experience.

Additionally, it may explain why a lot of people who daydream about being different don't end up taking action to achieve those differences. Part of it is, I think, because daydreaming is easier. But if what the article states is true, then maybe your brain thinks that you already have those differences that you have in your daydreams.

Good points. I like that daydreams can make me feel emotions I wouldn't normally feel, and maybe I feel them because my brain thinks my dreams are real. Also, I often daydream about singing on stage in front of people I know, yet I've never actually made the effort to make it come true. Maybe because my daydreams are "real enough" to me. (Though I know I wouldn't have the confidence either, but that's another story, ha.)

But if what the article states is true, then maybe your brain thinks that you already have those differences that you have in your daydreams. That's an interesting idea. I think you're right, even though for me it's almost the opposite. I'd spent most of my life telling myself that my daydream version of me isn't real, and that I can't be that confident/successful in real life. But since I've learned more about MD, I now think she is real, in my mind, so I'm able to be more like her in the real world. It's easier than I thought it would be - and perhaps that's because my brain has been practising for years. |
