Hello friends and mylotters! Have you ever felt being in a place or a scene that you would really wanted to be but you can't? Well,I always wanted to be in a place where I could say a place for my total relaxation but sometimes things aren't that easy to do at a glance. So what I do is,I close my eyes and voila,I'm in the dream place where I wanted to be,lol! I guess that's the cheapest way of travelling,lol! There are also times that I really miss my hubby and all I could do to be with him is to close my eyes and imagine that he is just beside me holding me tight. Do you also imagine things the way I do? What are the usual things you imagine?

Hi mtr, Good we don’t want to pay for dreams. But I am not good like you for imagination and by closing my eyes, I won’t get satisfied. I have to admit that I never tried that easy way to reach many places

Hello! I do that very often, I close my eyes and "fly away" to places otherwise I could never visit. It's my way to escape from reality and to relax. Of course there are many other ways to escape from reality and to relax but dreaming of wonders we could never have is one of the best.

Imagining to go to places for free..nice idea ! I always imagine that I am with my bf almost every night because we are also far from each other. And I haven't seen him for 1 year now. So what I do is imagine that I am with him especially when I am about to go to sleep. I always love to be with him because I always feel safe when I'm with him. I actually can't sleep without him sending me a message. If he has work and can't send me a message, then that is the time I imagine the best imaginable thing that we two are together. Any place will do just as long as we are together.

Hello my sweet friend, When I read your discussion it instantly reminded me of a response I saw you left for the young female member who was dreaming of owning her own dream house and if I remember correctly you told her to, not in these words of course, that she should not give up! That she should plan and try to make the dream a reality! So you see I do a lot of reading. So yes like you I do! I do a great deal of dreaming, and wishing. I close my eyes sometimes and try to picture me in my old life, when I was so financially well off. I have not given up hope, although the dream at times gets clouded, I do imagine, wow can I do it again? Can life be good to me again? Then I open them and say well without persistence it will not happen so I am still trying and maybe never get there but it is so nice to imagine it again.

Nothing wrong with creating discussions that stem from other discussions, it means that we are imaginative and further the circle of life! I just recently learned from some of your replies that your husband is away. You are a very brave woman! God bless you, your husband and baby. I am putting you all in my prayers. Keep up the great job, it is so great to see many continuing on with creativity. In fact I love when many have done that with mine because their is learning lessons in so much we read today. The person who re-created mine was from the blonde and Spanish language and I was very amazed because it showed many do not really stereotype and actually have appreciation. YEAH!! Hugs and kisses my sweet friend.

Hello dear friend! I knew you'd reply so I look up and see if you did,lol! Sometimes I don't recieve an email of responses so I still have to check if there are new replies. Oh yes dear friend,there is really nothing wrong from discussions that stems from the previous ones. Yes,my hubby is away from us,huhu! He has to work out of the country for us to have a better life,we have no choice but to accept and adjut to it. Working in our country doesn't suffice our needs,sigh! Thanks for including us in your prayers my friend,need it much! Take care! Hugs and kisses to you too! PS. sorry for my wrong grammar sometimes,hehe,am really not that good in english,lol!

Hello my dear friend! Ah yes,so you read my reply,lol! That made me look back at my response again and see if there's already a reply,lol! I saw you replied too on that discussion my friend. Lol,this doesn't have to do with that discussion my friend,I just miss my hubby and so I did some imaginations again of a place that me and my hubby are together. And I thought of posting it here since I don't know what discussion I should make,lol! I believe in you my friend,from your replies and stories here,It only shows that you are a brave and a strong person so I know whatever dream that you want to come true,you can have it. It's just nice to imagine things we want,at least it gives us a quick satisfaction. Take care always my dear friend!

Hi. mtrguanlao. Yes, I have always done this. I wish that I can be somewhere peaceful where it is free from the noise and the stress of life itself. I can imagine being at a nice beach or near a waterfall. I would love to feel the soft breeze and the warm sun on my skin. I will just pack a suitcase full of clothing and I will take many pictures with my camera. I know that I would enjoy being in this day dream.

I’ve had a great imagination since I was a child and I too can close my eyes and imagine just about anything. I made up a fictional place in my head that I retreat to every now and again. It’s a beautiful scene with a waterfall and crystals everywhere, the sky is golden and I am sitting on the grass by the bank of the river which is a beautiful pink and blue pastel colour. I know it sounds odd but that is the beauty of imagination, you can go anywhere!

Day dream huh. well i often do that..that is if i have the time..since i am so busy lately with work and family.. i believe i forgot to go to that place where i am dreaming to go to... but then, i find that useless lol because that oftne times will stress me more since i would be infuriated with reality. However, i love the way things have been going with reality that i do not have to go to that dream..i am living my dream now

I run a hectic day. From work to chores at home, I barely have time to close my eyes. Sleep is the only respite I get. And when I do get to bed, and close my eyes, my mind never fails to bring some place else where there is much relaxation. Where there is more time to do everything else. Where everything goes according to plan. But when I open my eyes, I realize that a few hour have really passed, and all it was, was a dream.

I always do! When I feel bad or not in the mood, all I do is close my eyes and just dream I'm somewhere far that no one is there but only me, being free. Sometimes I dreamed that I'm in a paradise and no one is there to scold or yell at me. I think that place is my place! HAHAHA!.. My imagination is like escaping from the real world.

Well done - you've discovered the art of meditation. Therapy hypnotists do it too, but it's nice you discovered it with no outside help. It's very good for you. Our brains do it when we dream, for the self-same reason.

Hello jazzsue! Wow,I never thought it's one way of meditation! It's now that I realized of it,thank you for telling me this. Oh yes,I remember when psychologists and hypnotists let their patients close their eyes and let them imagine of things they should imagine. Wow,so what I do is something helpful to me,lol! So that means I don't need help from a psychologist,lol! Well,it gives me a quick satisfaction even if it is only a dream. See yah and thanks,I realized something from your reply!
