Daydreaming has always had reputation, but now scientific research has revealed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity. It can even help you achieve your desired goals.
Daydream a Little
Eugene Raudsepp
"Daydreaming again, Barb? You'll never amount to anything if you spend your time that way! Can't you find something useful to do?" Many youngsters have heard words like those from their parents. And until recently this hostile attitude towards daydreaming was the most common one. Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered and unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. But now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do.
Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way that attitudes towards night dreaming have changed. Once it was thought that nighttime dreams interfered with our needed rest. But then researchers tried interrupting the dreams of sleepers. They learned that sleepers who aren't allowed to dream lost the benefits of rest. They become tense and anxious. They become irritable. They have trouble concentrating. Their mental health is temporarily damaged. To feel well again, they must be allowed to dream.
Now researchers are finding that daydreaming may also be important to mental health. Daydreaming, they tell us, is a good means of relaxation. But its benefits go beyond this. A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.
Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration, attention span, and the ability to get along with others, she says. In an experiment with school children, this same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to detail. They had more happy feelings. They worked together better. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative abilities.
But that's only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that "you can imagine your future." Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these notable achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.
Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick believed that the way we picture ourselves is often the way we turn out. He offered this advice: "Hold a picture of yourself … in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it. Picture yourself vividly as defeated, and that will make victory impossible. Picture yourself as winning, and that will contribute immeasurably to success. Do not picture yourself as anything, and you will drift ……"
The experiences of some athletes seem to confirm this belief. For instance, John Uelses, a former pole-vaulting champion, used daydreaming techniques before each meet. He would imagine himself winning. He would vividly picture himself clearing the bar at a certain height. He would go over all the details in his mind. He would picture the stadium and the crowds. He'd even imagine the smell of the grass and the earth. He said that this exercise of the imagination left memory traces in his mind that would later help his actual performance.
Why would a mental vision of success help produce real success? Dr. Maxwel Maltz, a surgeon and author, say this: "Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and real experience. In either case it reacts automatically to information that you give it …… It reacts appropriately to what you think or imagine to be true."
He believes that purposeful daydreaming builds new "memories" in the brain. These positive memories improve a person's self-image. And self-image has an important effect on a person's action and accomplishments.
Can you use purposeful daydreaming to shape your own future? Why not try? Here is how those who believe in creative daydreaming recommend going about it. Choose a time when you can be alone and undisturbed. Close your eyes, to permit your imagination to soar more freely. Many people find that they get best results by pretending that they are sitting before a large screen. They project the desired image of themselves onto that screen.
Now picture yourself —— as vividly as possible ——the way you want to be. Remember to picture your desired goals as if you had already attained them. Go over all the details of this picture. See them clearly and sharply. Impress them strongly on your memory. The resulting memory traces will supposedly start affecting your everyday life. They will help lead you to the attainment to your goals.
Of course daydreaming is no substitute for hard work. If it's athletic achievement you want, you also have to get lots of practice in your sport. You have to work hard to develop skills. If it's school success you're after, you can't neglect studying Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire. But in combination with the more usual methods of self-development, it might make a critical difference. It could be the difference between becoming merely good at something and becoming a champion.
If what researchers are saying is true, a life lived without fantasies and daydreams isn't as rich and rewarding as life can be. So they suggest setting aside a few minutes each day for daydreaming. By so doing, you may improve your physical and mental well-being. By taking a ten-or fifteen-minute "vacation" into the realm of imagination each day, you may add much to the excitement and enjoyment of your life. And who knows: You might see your own daydreams come true.

Unit 4 A Fan’s Notes
一位体育专栏作家以为他碰上了一个怪人. 结果他却发现了一个真正的赢家.
一位球迷的评论 比尔·普拉施基
这封电子邮件在某些方面与我收到的其他刻薄的信件相似.它痛斥我对洛杉矶道奇队的评论,并争辩说我把一切全都搞错了.然而,这个评论与其他的评论至少有两个方面不同.
与通常那些“你是个 *** ”的评论不同的是,这一评论含有更多的细节.它包含了该队比赛表现的关键数据.写这篇评论的人对洛杉矶道奇队的了解绝不亚于我自认为对它的了解.
而且这一评论是署名的.作者的名字叫萨拉·莫里斯.
我被深深打动,于是给她回信.一点也没有想到这一封信引出了一段非同寻常的来往.
我可以问您一个问题吗?两年来,我一直经营着我的道奇队网站.你是怎么成为一个棒球评论专栏作家的?这可是我的梦.
这是萨拉的第二封电子邮件,它的到来一点也不意外.我每次对人微笑一下,人家就向我要一份工作.但是另一个事儿引起了我的注意.这就是信的最后一行字里的拼写错误,是关于“我的梦”那一部分.
也许萨拉就是一个打字很糟糕的人.但也许她真的是在寻找某个目标,但就是一字之差,还没有找着.
这就值得再回她一封信,于是我让她解释.
我今年30岁.……因为我身有残疾,花了5年的时间才读完大专拿到文凭.……在棒球赛季,我每个星期平均花55小时写球赛报道,写评论,做研究,听比赛或者看比赛.
萨拉称她的网站为“道奇地”.我搜索了一下,什么也没有找着.后来我重读她的电子邮件, 发现在她的电子邮件最底下挂了一个地址：members.tripod / spunky / dodgers.
我点击该地址.网站并不花哨.但是她以一个作家的严肃态度对该队进行了详细报道.不过,我还是不禁要问,有人读吗?
从来没有人在我的来宾登记簿上签名.我一个月收到一封信.
所以,这里是一个身体残疾的妇女,她对道奇队的报道之广泛不亚于美国任何一个记者, 可她却在为一个几乎不为人知的网站写作,网站的名字很怪很难记,读者大概有两个人.
我想她那个梦所缺的远远不只是拼写里头少了一个字母r.
我建起了自己的网站希望能找到一份工作.不过运气不佳.因为我使用一根绑在头上的小棒打字,最高的打字速度是每分钟8个字,可这又有什么要紧的呢?我的脑子挺好使,我对工作非常专注.这才是人们成功的关键.
使用一根绑在头上的小棒打字?
我问她要用多少时间写她那通常为400字的文章.
三到四小时.
我做了一件我以前从来没有和互联网上的陌生人做过的事情.
我让萨拉·莫里斯给我打电话.
我说话有障碍,无法使用电话.
这就证明了我的怀疑.这显然是一个精心策划的骗局.这一位所谓女性作家很可能是一个45岁的男性管子工.
我决定结束与此人的通信.可就在那时我又收到一封电子邮件.
我的残疾是脑瘫.……它影响肌肉神经的控制.……当我的脑子告诉我的手去敲击字键时, 我会挪动我的腿,碰击桌子,并在这一过程中同时碰击六个其他的字键.
当我的母亲解释我的残疾时,她告诉我说,如果我比别人努力三倍,我就可以成就我要做的任何事情.
她写道,她在帕萨迪拉长大的时候成了道奇队的球迷.她上布莱尔高级中学二年级的时候,一位校少年棒球队的教练叫她去做球队的统计员.她做了,用的是一个打字机和一根绑在头上的小棒.
她说由于她跟棒球结了缘,她才得以留在学校里,尽管她成绩不好,每天还有数小时的令她脖子酸痛的家庭作业.
棒球给了我努力的目标 ……我可以做别的孩子做不了的事情 ……我想为给了我这么多的棒球做一点事情.
不错,我就这么相信了她.有几分信吧.在像她所称的那种情况下,有谁能没有最好的设备和帮助而报道一个棒球队呢?我很好奇,所以我问她我能不能开车过去看她. 她同意了,并详细告诉我路怎么走,其中提到乡下的泥路和没有名字的街道.
我开车向东驶去,穿过得克萨斯的荒凉地带.在一条蜿蜒曲折布满小动物大小的坑洼的泥路上,我看到了样子像旧工具棚的屋子.
但这不是一个工具棚,这是一所房子,一个被高高的杂草和废弃物包围的正在朽烂的小棚屋.
是不是这个地方呢?
一位身着旧T恤衫和裙子的妇女从棚屋里走了出来.
“我是萨拉的母亲,”洛伊·莫里斯一边说一边用她那粗糙的手握着我光滑的手.“她在等你呢.”
我从太阳光下走进去,打开一扇破烂的屏门,走进了阴暗的棚子,棚子里蜷缩在轮椅上的是一个87磅重的躯体.
她的四肢扭了一扭.她的头转了一转.我们无法拥抱,甚至也无法握手.她只能张大眼睛看我,向我微笑.
可她那微笑里充满了光芒!它穿透了由破烂的木地板、旧躺椅和结满蜘蛛网的窗户围起来的黑暗空间.
我不忍心看别的任何东西,所以我的眼睛只盯住她那微笑,它是那么清晰,那么自信, 它甚至令我的多数怀疑一扫而光.但我还是要问,这就是莎拉·莫里斯吗?
她开始在轮椅里摇晃,嘴里发出声音.我以为她在咳嗽.
可实际上,她是在说话.她的母亲为她翻译.“我要给你看点东西.”萨拉说.
洛伊把她推到搭在煤灰砖上的一张旧书桌前.桌子上放着一台计算机.计算机旁是一台电视机.她的母亲将一根小棒绑在她女儿的太阳穴上.
萨拉趴在计算机上,用绑在她头上的棍子调出道奇地网站上的一篇报道.她开始一啄一啄地在这篇报道上添字加句.
她抬起头看我并发出咯咯的笑声.我低头看她,心里充满了惊奇——还有羞愧.
这真的就是萨拉·莫里斯. 这个伟大的萨拉·莫里斯.
几个月前我与萨拉·莫里斯联系的时候是想跟她干一仗.现在看着她在这个黑暗的房间里吃力地打着字写一篇或许根本没有人看的文章,我明白了这一仗是怎么一回事.
不过,这一仗不是跟萨拉打,而是跟自己打.这一仗和体育界在现今玩世不恭的年代里每天都在经历的一模一样.那就是要相信运动员仍然可以是英雄的搏斗.
在一个远离这种怀疑的地方,一个心智充满神奇的萨拉·莫里斯帮我找回了信任.,3,怎么没原文,2,
