9 Signs That You Are The Dreamer

1. You’re Always Somewhere Else


People sometimes mistake you for flaky or ditsy when you're caught in a daydream. I don't know if its considered a short attention span but I can't listen to an entire conversation without breaking out into my own thoughts for awhile.

2. You Drift Off In Class

"Woops I've been zoning out for the past ten minutes of the lecture..."

It all starts with a glance out the window but then the leaves falling from the trees reminds me of something else and the next thing I know I'm far, far away from math class.

3. You Had Multiple Scenarios of Your Future Planned Out Before You Were Even in High School

A husband and three kids? But where would we live and what kind of house....

For the longest time, I dreamed of owning a coffee shop and living in the rolling hills of England or Ireland, with a big farm and a family of my own. Then I wanted to own my own Interior Design business, which has taken me to where I am now. Maybe more of my dreams will come true...


4. You Suddenly Come Up With Great Ideas

When you're struggling to come up with a design, a writing topic, or a new idea for an art project, you have to jump on the moment when the ideas start flowing. In the middle of the day or night, you gotta write these ideas down or you might just pass up a really good book.

5. People That Know You Well, Know When You're No Longer Paying Attention


I'm constantly getting yelled at for not paying attention to the conversation, most of the time I'm just trying to process the information I'm being flooded with.

6. The Snapping or Waving In Your Face Is All Too Familiar...And Annoying

You may have just been staring at a wall for five minutes and everyone around you seems a little concerned. It ends with someone waving in your face and asking where you were and what you were thinking about, but they wouldn't be able to handle your imaginative day dreams.

7. If You Don’t Get Your Allotted Daydream Time You Have To Sit Somewhere in Silence for Awhile and Stare Off Into Space


Time to reflect on the day and catch up on your thoughts, what was the hidden meaning behind what that person said to me today? People close to you learn that your time spent contemplating is just a regular occurrence.

8. You Do A lot More Thinking Than You Do Speaking

You think, "why waste your breath on things that are better left unsaid." Dreamers are notorious for planning everything out in their head before they say it, or maybe never say anything at all.

9. You Are Good at Reading People

Sometimes it's a curse that you can tell people’s inner feelings and thoughts. Other times you are the only one who can read your best friend's or sibling's thoughts by just observing their body language.

10. There's Just Too Much Going On In Your Head

It's hard to concentrate on a conversation when something else is on your mind. Being a dreamer, there is always something else on your mind and sometimes it feels like a whirlwind of thoughts that could burst right out of your head at any minute.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
