Focus on dreams

Other worldly, head in the clouds, daydreamer, sleep walker: are these good traits? I guess not if you are trying to teach a child arithmetic. For personal growth though, I see some value. We've heard it all before in books like Peter Pan where childhood dreams and adult responsibilities pull 2 people apart.
What if a focus on real potential and real dreams can help us create life in deathly situations? How about trying to resolve a stale mate by not playing the original game? Who says my relationship with my family don't change?
Maybe dreaming does procrastinate cooking a meal, doing laundry or tending the garden; but focusing on the obscure non-obvious can see new opportunities, create a new way of living and embrace the life that surrounds us. How about letting go and let our minds wander doing the mundane routine things? Focusing on dreams.
