It means rest to the weary, new horizons to those who wish to achieve, a release from fetters to those who have felt themselves oppressed. What a quiet charm there is in such an uncritical play of the fancy! But is it anything more than daydreaming? Can our musings become definite without revealing themselves as fancies?
I don't want those boys thinking about the fishing they're going to do tomorrow and then get behind in their work because they're daydreaming." The other men were already gone; they'd headed back to the village as fast as they could move as soon as he'd told them the job was finished.
Conseil and I stayed next to each other, as if daydreaming that through our metal carapaces, a little polite conversation might still be possible! Already I no longer felt the bulkiness of my clothes, footwear, and air tank, nor the weight of the heavy sphere inside which my head was rattling like an almond in its shell.
To-night this power seemed regained, for she passed from the contemplation of concrete images into a vague and pleasant state, an absolute idleness of the intellect akin to that which people call daydreaming.

"Beautiful home you've got here, Miller." Philon came out of his daydreaming to see MacDonald coming into view around the corner of a living room ell. Philon took his extended hand. "Thanks. Glad you like it." Jean broke in breathlessly. "Oh, Daddy, you ought to see how they conduct classes by school TV. You write on a glass square and it appears immediately at the teacher's roll-board.
If the married life is satisfactory the daydreaming and introspection may be very pleasurable, as they usually are at the beginning of marriage. The young bride dreams of love that does not swerve, of understanding that persists, of success, of riches to come, of children that are lovely and marvelous.
As a boy, he'd enjoyed daydreaming that he himself might make a discovery as unsettling as that particular one of Nannstein's, but so far he hadn't, and it didn't seem at all likely he would. On the other hand, it was just the unlikeliness of such a discovery one that completely reversed a commonly-held idea that made it so unsettling.
He had not seen Desire Edwards since the Wednesday afternoon when she had called, but he knew he should see her at meeting. It was she who was responsible for the daydreaming way in which he was going about this morning, and for a good deal of previous daydreaming and night dreaming, too, in the last few days.
