Why does Walter daydream?

because he has an active imagination

The human imagination is the root of what makes us human and what causes our problems. \n\nWe imagine things that are contrary to reality, thus we act against what is best for our own self interest.\n\nWe create alternative realities and create moral systems that work in those supernatural realities, but only serve to ultimately  destroy us in reality. \n\nA moral system designed to support a supernatural reality is anything but moral.

It has actually been suggested that our dreams are a state where we are programmed to do whatever is is we're going to do the next day, month, year, etc. As for myself I really don't know, I guess that's kinda how I look at it. I find that sometimes they might be telling us something, or that they may simply be flashbacks from our past.

I think it's about the person in the writer's mind.  The writer is linking the person with the elements because we hold romantic notions about nature and when we have someone on our minds we fantasise and link them with other valued things.

dreams are a way for your brain to let go of things it say while you were awake.\ndreaming is sometimes your subconscious letting you know what you really would like to do..\nlike people flying..maybe you either wish you could fly an airplane or maybe you wish you could transform yourself into a bird..\ndreams are very important to a healthy mind even if some of the dreams are not what you would consider healthy..

A figment of Shawn's imagination. Shawn was dreaming about what could go wrong with his relationships with his family. You can tell it is him in the way he turns out rich and successful. His ego came shining through the dream. These wher his worst dreams. Afterall, he pushed for the first hand surgery on Connor. He is afraid that Connor will blame himself for his marriage breaking up the way he blames himself for his father leaving him  and his mother when he was a child. The analyst may be Shawn or may be an analyst Shawn has seen to deal with his problems in the past. My guess is it will cause him to go see Christian's analyst Brooke.

Lets give Wikopedia the star here:\nPsychological/Existential: The play seems to be also a verbal play on the concept of seeing, that sometimes the last thing a person "sees" is his own character. Freud of course, took literally Jocasta's comment that all boys dream of getting into bed with their mothers. Taking Oedipus' obliviousness to his crimes as a metaphor for his repression of this boyish desire, Freud built his theory of the subconscious mind.\n\nOh, yea this guy is left for dead, found by a shepard, comes back and marries his mother, kills untold numbers of people...and we wonder why people today are a bit strange...ha ha ha.

Sounds like daydreaming, where you don't really focus and stare into space, but it looks as if you're watching things.

Our brain keeps track of everything we ever see or hear, whether or not it's important to us. I've had some very strange dreams sometimes involving things I've never in my life thought of doing. Your brain can only compartmentalize everything it's seen when it's not being distracted by everyday life. During the day we're busy interacting with people, working, doing chores, even now as I'm typing, Im distracting my brain. When we sleep, it gets to deal with everything that's come our way. So what I'm saying is, don't worry about your dream. It's just a big ol' jumble of things you've encountered in your life, whether on tv or for real. I do empathize with your problems sleeping though. That's happened to me when I've had strange, bad or weird dreams. It'll go away fairly soon though.\n\nGood luck and sweet dreams tonight! :)\n\nP.S. I included a link to a show archive from Dr. Phil that you might find interesting. Last week he had a show dealing with sleep problems. One of the women on there had a HORRIBLE dream for the last 18 years.

Our minds (thought processes) present us with possibilities.  Our actions shape our realities.

Everyone dreams... even dogs dream\n\nNot everyone has the capability to recall their dreams but most that don't can learn to recall them.  Here is a cool discussion / web site on the subject.

I'll start by being contradictory and say the "send_felix_mail" is wrong, freud said that dreams were a wish fulfilled.  Freud thinks that in your dreams you act out things that your subconcious wants.  According to Freud, to interperet dreams you need to do what is called "free Asscociation".  This is where you think about things that occured in your dreams, and see what springs up in your mind.  Usually your dreams relate to something from the day before you had the dream.  Only you can interperet your dreams, by conjuring up what the different images in your dream relate to in your life.  For example, in a dream your best friend is sitting in a park and she offers you an apple, you refuse the apple and walk away.  When you think about the dream in the morning you start thinking about the apple, an image of ffamily picnic's pop's into your mind, because you always had family picnics in an apple orchard as a kid (this is odd, but work with me here).  Apple, therefore, represents family, and good family memories.  Then you think about your best friend, you remember that the day before you got a voice message from her asking you to stay over for the weekend, which you didn't want to do, and didn't call her back.  The dream could mean, therefore, that you feel that your best friend is trying to be part of your family, or make you aprt of her's, but you do not want to have this close a relationship with her.  This is just an example, but it's kind of how it works.  Practise free association first thing in the morngings when the dream is fresh in your mind.  Also write down every dream as soon as you wake up.  Sometimes the key is in the details which you may forget as the day wears on, or seem insignificant until you concentrate on them.  I hope this helps

Oh, you're clearly the anti-Christ!  \n\nLOL.  Just kidding.\n\nDreams are very strange.  Sometimes I have had dreams where my brother was so mean, or a friend of mine was very mean, and in real life, they are wonderful people who would never act like they did in my dreams!  I don't know why I would ever dream that of them.  But just because I did certainly does not mean that there was any truth at all to the dream.  I had probably just eaten onions or something.\n\nSometimes dreams are just our brains jumping from one thought to another, and it tries to make sense of them, but it does not always do so accurately.  So if one moment these people were dreaming about meanness, and then you popped into their thoughts, the brain will try to connect the meanness with you or something.  It doesn't mean you are evil!\n\nPerhaps your own dreams are your own insecurities about this.  Look at your awake life.  If you are acting like a good and nice person, ask yourself why.  Are your motives pure?  Even if they are not, you can make them pure.  You just have to realize first exactly who you are, so you can be a better person.\n\nI have a feeling you're not so bad.  ;-)

I believe what you are seeing is actually how he perceives the environment around him while in the Iron Man suit.  He recently injected himself with a substance that essentially allowed him to bond more completely with his armor than ever before.  Now, when he thinks about wanting to wear the armor, his body gets covered with a gold skinsuit with ports.  I'm not certain, but I believe that this image you are seeing is how his mind perceives all the data he is accumulating at once, so his mind can handle it better.  He can essentially multitask during a fight now, all by thinking about what he wants to do.  If he wants to hack into a computer, he thinks it & it starts happening.  If he wants to trade stocks online during a battle, he thinks it & it happens.  Unfortunately, this may also be driving him nuts, but we'll have to wait to see what transpires in "Civil War" to find out for certain.

This is a very interesting topic. It's like how you can hear yourself say something in your mind, but you don't actually hear sound. Or how you see a certain image when your eyes are open (hence, daydream). It's difficult to observe thoughts as they are happening, since the only way to actually formulate an opinion about what we are thinking is to analyze what we remember thinking. It's pretty amazing how our minds work, and what they control. We can't (more accurately, MOST of us can't) voluntarily control the rate of our heart beat, but we can voluntarily control our breathing. Yet, when we are asleep or not paying attention, our brain's nervous system takes over. It's so amazing...\n\nI can go on about this forever! : ) I actually have never heard of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle but I'll look into it. (After a pause...) My thoughts are telling me to finish typing. ^_^

When you repeatly dream of something, that must either be very special or your are emotionally rooted to it. You see, you may not conciously thinking about it but dreams are not like that. Dreams happened unconciously. And those that we dream can be the things that we are unconciously thinking, worrying or often ponder. Forgetting those people we hate doesn't necessarily means discarding that feeling of hate. And we cannot stop hating if we don't do anything about it. I know so because I've been there.\n\nDon't worry, those dream will eventually change. Like it did to me. It's hard to forgive a person if they don't want to forgivess. And its hard to forgive if they're not asking for it. I don't blame you for hating them.

That is exactly why.\n\nTo fly is something we "Want", other popular dreams are always about something that you want...\n\nIf we could fly...we would'nt dream about it now would we.
