The Imagination of My Childhood

Me - Circa 1994

When I was a little girl I would get lost in all kinds of daydreams: I could be a dolphin, I could have a best friend who was so small she could fit in my hand, I could find that I belonged in the ocean as a mermaid. They were beautiful daydreams that I really believed could come true. It wasn't that I couldn't understand reality, I just believed that there was magic in the world.

Now my daydreams are much less imaginative. When did I lose that? I didn't need to. I have to sleep, get lost in dream worlds to see such beautiful things that used to occupy my waking mind.

I want that back. I want to dream about the impossible as if they could happen. I want to watch Doctor Who and believe there is a crazy man who stole a box and is traveling through all of time and space!

Day Dreams


Daydreaming has been on my mind.

I could win a prize in daydreams; I go into depth of what I want to happen. But, let me be frank, often my daydreams end up disappointing me, because they aren't real, and they probably won't happen.
I daydreams come in wide variety:

• I've been an actress in a rave movie and gotten past my fear of people watching me.
• I've moved to California and become a great designer/photographer.
• I've been a highly desired photographer, doing shoots for fashion and travel.
• I've casually run into various famous people and made a difference in their lives.
• I've owned tiny elephants.

Right now I can't help but daydream about jobs. I get so caught up in a daydreams about various companies that have open positions that I qualify for, but they require a move; something harder to do as a couple. I daydream about the ways it will boost my design, and career.

The daydream I need to get lost in now is my trip to Venice, Italy and the subsequent Mediterranean cruise. It's not far off (after 2.5 years of planning it), and it's real.

What sort of daydreams do you get caught in?

Musically Transformed


Have you ever found yourself lost in a daydream when a song or artist is played? Every time I listen to Eisely, I am caught in some sort of daydream world; things of myth and story make their way into the lyrics, and life is breathed into them by the harmonies of Stacy and Sherri.
I usually choose my music by sing-alongability (though lyrics can be just as important), and most of the time I can’t decide if I want to sing melody or harmony to Eisley songs. It is a happy dilemna!
The magic of the words inspired me so much that I based a project during my college years off of their lyrics “I glimpsed a bat with butterfly wing, oh what Marvelous Things.”
If you haven’t heard them, you should!
Is there an artist, song, or genre that gives you a different perspective on the world?
