quite often i'm enthralled by a topic - totally involved - completely won over - then something catches my eye and a thought comes and i think on it for a while -fleshing it out - testing it's possibilities - thinking about possible people involved in the scenario - the location - the discussion - then i remember the lecture i was so interested in and words start to filter in again - and i realize i've just spent a whole chunk of the conversation staring at the wall - now i'm way out of the loop - everyone else is nodding and i'm screwed - train of thought completely lost - stare at the blank page in front of me. damn.
and repeat at least two more times.
and there's my lecture format.
WIKIPEDIA: A daydream is a visionary fantasy experienced while awake, especially one of happy, pleasant thoughts, hopes or ambitions.[1] There are so many different types of daydreaming that there is still no consensus definition amongst psychologists.[1] While daydreams may include fantasies about future scenarios or plans, reminiscences about past experiences, or vivid dream-like images, they are often connected with some type of emotion.
While daydreaming has long been derided as a lazy, non-productive pastime, daydreaming can be constructive in some contexts. There are numerous examples of people in creative or artistic careers, such as composers, novelists and filmmakers, developing new ideas through daydreaming.
