Yay! It’s WORLD DREAM DAY!

The last few days have been incredibly busy, so I think that the 27th December should be declared WORLD DREAM DAY.

Day Dreaming Girl

To celebrate WORLD DREAM DAY you have to spend at least half the day doing absolutely nothing. This is what we writers call working. We sit on the sofa, or lie on the bed, or on the rug in front of the fire, stare into the middle distance, and let our minds float off.

Okay, so the writing bit is important too, but if you don’t let your mind go off on its own sometimes, how will you ever think up stories?

Of course, some people might think you’re doing nothing. Your mum or dad might come along and prod you or moan at you to tidy your room – or even worse – TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL! If that happens, you must put your case quietly and confidently. You are celebrating World Dream Day, and it’s your right (Guaranteed under the International Charter of Dreamer’s Rights) not to be disturbed.

Just think, if people weren’t allowed to daydream how many great works of art would never have been created?

So indulge yourself today. Do a little daydreaming. And if you need some help to get into the mood, you might want to try some magic, aka chocolate.

Chocolate for Dreaming

If you get tired of dreaming, check out this video of the Monkees singing Daydream Believer. When I was 13 I had a huge crush on Davie Jones, the singer. (Blush!) He was kind of the Justin Bieber of the time. And guess what? I used to dream (usually when I was in Maths) that I would meet him, and he’d fall madly in love with me, and well…

Sadly, it never happened. But it was fun dreaming about it!

Have a fab World Dream Day!

Love,
