Daydreaming while looking out windows is one of my favorite pastimes. Rain, fog, overcast, sunny, super hot, or snow, it does not matter. Only hail is different because there is action and noise involved with the scenery making it difficult to daydream and not laugh at the people getting pelted by cold water rocks.
At home or work I'm dreaming about being somewhere else, looking outside another window. Maybe it's a Starbucks in a downtown area, or maybe a window in a plane on my way to another adventure, or maybe it's the big window at my favorite bar.
At my favorite bar, I'll turn and people watch and inevitably that will turn into daydreaming about friends, family, people long gone, or people I just met.
I always know and appreciate where I am. The daydreaming is not about being happy with where I'm at, what I am doing (to paraphrase Yoda), it has to do with letting my subconscious mind wander and I find that relaxing. When I tell people about my daydreaming they give me looks that say, "what the hell is wrong with this guy?" But I suspect many people daydream as much as I do.
