I wish I could have been more firm on pursuing that.<BR/>Thanks for visiting.Navahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066273810530251421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-35618571867534088072008-11-11T07:55:00.000-08:002008-11-11T07:55:00.000-08:00Hi Nader,Thanks for the link, and for visiting.Hi Nader,<BR/>Thanks for the link, and for visiting.Navahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066273810530251421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-17964993634684079032008-11-11T07:31:00.000-08:002008-11-11T07:31:00.000-08:00Hi Parinaz,Daydreaming was my favorite getaway whe...Hi Parinaz,<BR/>Daydreaming was my favorite getaway when I was younger, and still is, it's only that it's not during the day anymore as I'm too busy; It's usually right before going to bed! <BR/>But let me tell you something, there is a magical thing about daydreaming. If you manage to find the right pattern, sooner or later you'll attract the same, or very similar scenes to your life. So be extremely aware and careful about what you daydream about.<BR/><BR/>Have fun, and don't miss most of the movies in coming months. The closer to the academy awards, the better the movies.Navahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066273810530251421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-82991405267876504292008-11-11T06:59:00.000-08:002008-11-11T06:59:00.000-08:00I enjoy books and movies the same way, but i reali...I enjoy books and movies the same way, but i realized after such escapes i feel more depressed ... so now i do some sports that i enjoy to escape and feel better after :)Reza Mahanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341891132329892562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-22391934999684807622008-11-10T00:21:00.000-08:002008-11-10T00:21:00.000-08:00Hi,Your post reminded me of a commentary that I ha...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Your post reminded me of a commentary that I had read about the movie "The Science of Sleep". The author had a nice opening paragraph that has stayed with me:<BR/><BR/><I>Like most people who believe they are far more complicated and unique than they actually are, I take an inordinate amount of solace in the idea that there are (or must be, anyway) friends, relatives and lovers who understand and appreciate my complexity and uniqueness. (It's the fundamental impetus behind who I am and what I do.) But when those intimates fail to live up to my expectations, or worse, do not show themselves at all, I turn next to the cinema. Like the lyrics of a favorite sad song, there is nothing better to yours truly than the visual and emotional identification one shares with a big-screen signifier of individuality - especially since more often than not things seem to work out well for these iconoclasts and eccentrics in the end.</I><BR/><BR/>Here is the link of this full article in case you want to read the rest.<BR/>http://movies.ign.com/articles/734/734287p1.htmlNaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15724138092814728228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-1782116755266508902008-11-07T22:59:00.000-08:002008-11-07T22:59:00.000-08:00YES!

Tomorrow’s another day...<BR/>I have wispered this to myself times and times; and I exactly know what you say.<BR/>Well-made movies and good books are my own remedy, too. But I have also another gateway: Daydreaming!<BR/>Recently I can hardly get rid of my problems through reading or watching things. My mind does not help me! But by daydreaming, I make it go where I want; and it goes...<BR/>Of course I know it is not a good way; but what can I do? I cannot help doing it...<BR/><BR/>Thank you Nava jan; for your thought provoking post!<BR/>I gotta give it a second thought...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-38386603989110583232008-11-07T06:19:00.000-08:002008-11-07T06:19:00.000-08:00Hi Behi,It's so comforting to find out that differ...Hi Behi,<BR/>It's so comforting to find out that different people have very similar feelings! <BR/>You know, it's not a complete escape, as there is really no choice other than going back to the problem, but sometimes it gives my brain the opportunity to "defragment" and sometimes it works, some solutions reveal themselves later. Recently it came to my mind that it's like marinating the meat! You are not doing anything to it, but it's getting softer, and then the cooking is more efficient!!Navahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066273810530251421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-11849541355398099632008-11-06T13:56:00.000-08:002008-11-06T13:56:00.000-08:00How interesting!

It's like I reach my comfort zone by going under the shelter of a pleasant story or living in a world that I can feel myself anywhere but not in the one that I can see the problem hanging on me OR not feeling myself at all at some points. At first I thought I was escaping from finding a solution or thinking of that matter but now I think this is like giving some space to my mind to breath and saving or gaining more energy to face the subject differently.Behdokhthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197063079038136111noreply@blogger.com
