Caught up in Daydreams

[One Above All]

I daydream all the time. It's very common and it does for me what it does for you: energizes and calms me.

Lately, I've been looking at the sky and imagining

the end of Supernatural's season 8, with all the angels falling from Heaven

, because I honestly think it's the best season ending I've ever seen in my life and the second coolest scene in the entire series (those who have seen every episode will probably know what the coolest scene, IMO, is).

I daydream about my stories, both from the characters' perspective and my own (I sometimes write myself into the stories; sometimes as a random character, other times as what I think is closer to the reality - the god that controls all stories). I feel what the characters are feeling and even try to visualize what they're seeing. Sometimes I can actually see (with my eyes closed, and albeit in a very distorted manner) what it would look like to be inside my stories.

This isn't just limited to stories. I can visualize simple geometric shapes like triangles, rectangles, and circles, and even more complex shapes like tornadoes, waves, beaches, people, and view them from various angles; even manipulate (distort) them in my mind. It's like lucid dreaming, only even more unstable. (For those who haven't had lucid dreams, or just don't remember what it's like, a dream lasts much longer if you have no clue that you're dreaming. Once you realize you're dreaming, your dreams tend to go by very quickly. At least mine do. I think my longest lucid dream without waking up was 5 dream minutes or so, but it was still very "flimsy": things went blurry, people vanished, and so on.)

However, this is all visual and emotional. I can't feel what it would be like to touch ice merely by imagining it. I can't smell or taste lasagna just by imagining it. I also can't hear things through sheer force of will. I can remember these things, but remembering and experiencing them are not the same.
