I many daydream on what next to draw. Since I am known as "The Beastmistress" somewhere (long story. I guess it is because I draw alot of creatures and beasts) I sometime daydream about what creatures will I own. I already made a pet griffin and you know a werewolf is in that mix of beasts.

Allen; I day dream alot of beats up too that I doodle. They're always quite fun to come up with, and as you see, alot of my monsters tend to be based off llamas. (Thus demon llamas.)

Just to tell I show the signs off ADD, but never went to get checked out, I really don't care. Though I'm day dreaming and thinking in class I still get great grades.

Most the time I'm just thinking, I don't day dream too much, though I do day dream often. So usaully I'm thinking on exactly how a werewolf would be, gathering more information in my head and posibly thinking out disscussions and issues. Then sometimes I just think along the lines of different things.

Normally I day dream right before going to sleep. Which is what makes having to go to bed sometimes enjoyable.

Daydreaming is fun. It sure as hell beats living in this world.

You misspelled 'girlfriend' as 'girl FIEND,' which is something different entirely.

Heh, I did a lot of daydreaming in school myself. Now I do most of it while walking, or waiting for stuff.

I day-dream whenever I'm bored or if I don't feel like paying attention. Sometiems I day-dream without even meaning to. Mostly I day-dream about werewolves or the stories I've got stuck in my head.

And yet, surprisingly, I managed to get really good grades in my classes!

Lupin · Post by **Lupin** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 1:15 am

Yeah, I daydream about werewolves a lot too. But then I daydream about all sorts of stuff.

Lately it's been about the weather not being so hot.

I think that comment to be offensive, Fen. I know you didn't mean any harm though.

My mom and dad were from Vietnam, before that my family was from China.

I won't take it offesively, but I really don't like stereotyping. Even if some people take that comment to be positive.

I was thinking about that lately, and I have no idea what it was. I guess it just comes from the fact that I think wolves are cool.

OK, awkward moment there. Ehem... (clears throat...) moving on along...

Wolf Marine:

As you might have guessed, there's a lot of that going around. Yes, I'm a heavy daydreamer, too, and my daydreams do tend to focus a lot on lycanthropic themes. I've been a dreamer all my life, and it's been a great source of motivation. I've gotten a lot of ideas, and I've created some things with which I've been pretty happy.

One can daydream and still get things done. It's not a matter of nationality so much as mental training.

ADD can be an obstacle to overcome, because the education system is designed very poorly. A disorder that disrupts attention can make an existing design flaw in schools even worse:

One learns by focusing on things that are novel and different from the surrounding environment, because that's what either threatens or nurtures. School, by comparison, is very repetative and is designed to remove novel stimulation, creating a steady stream of background noise that is very forgettable. It's not just you. It is indeed boring, and that's a serious design flaw for real long-term retention.

The solution is to reinvent learning for yourself. I learned a lot on my own, doing independent reading, TV documentaries, and research. You're probably pretty knowledgeable about wolves, for instance, because of the werewolf interest. Pick some topics of interest, and make that a focus; plan for a career that both works with instead of against how your mind works, and one that can give you the kind of lifestyle you want to have. (If you're materialistic and want a lot of stuff, for example, aim for at least a middle class job or profession.)

Long-term planning can make daydreaming and living in the world compatable with each other.

For me, I became a physician. It's an enormous amount of work, and I wouldn't recommend it for someone who has a hard time studying. It works for me, because it gives me both income and autonomy--I'm in a position of authority, so I'm allowed to get away with things like surfing the web at work or wearing my hair long. Granted, finding free time to keep daydreams going is challenging. But, hey, I'm at work right now, drawing an income between patients, just sitting here, typing. Half my novel was written between patients.

Work with what you have and who you are, and think for the long term. You can design a life that allows for daydreaming and quality of life, too. Some of the most successful people in the world are daydreamers.
