Lesson Plan 2: Daydreams
Theme Concept: When people go to sleep, they often hope to have a nice dream. Do we have to go to sleep though to dream? Wouldn’t we have more control over our dreams if we were somewhat awake? For most students, this actually does happen (especially during school). This is possible because everyone “Daydreams” from time-to-time! Daydreams give us the power to combine these two states, and to imagine things we thought otherwise impossible. By giving value to our daydreams, we empower these dreams, desires, or goals. Many times dreams remain hidden or suppressed because we do not believe they are worthy enough to share, or that they are not achievable. Instead of thinking negatively or passively about daydreaming, it is time to start utilizing it. Daydreams can become powerful tools in encouraging personal growth.
As humans, we are able to slip back out of this dream-like state because of our response, or nervous system. Stimuli help us to feel pain, textures, and sensations. By travelling back and forth between our body’s needs and our deepest mental corners, we can gain more of an understanding of ourselves. By both daydreaming and still grounding ourselves in the real world, our dreams can become reality.
