Daze

[Onahappynote]

Have you ever suddenly started to stare off at something for a period of time? Where you felt you couldn't take your eyes off of that certain spot untill your eyes started watering? Feeling almost as if you were in a trance like state? Well, I have, alot actually. And Iv'e discussed this with two of my friends and it happends to them too. And this makes me think that everyone has felt like this at one time or another. And many people call this state a "daze". What I want to know is why we have dazes and what they truely are? So if any could be so kind as to tell me, I'd be very pleased. Any thoughts?

happens to me too, i dont know what it is... i guess daydreaming?

[dajo]

yeah.. that is a form of mind-alteration, I think. There is a lot of 'brain' we don't use on a daily basis.

It's called "spacing out". I can't believe this is new to you.

[Onahappynote]

No this is not new to me and no I don't think it's exactly day-dreaming either. I've thought about this a lot. And it does'nt feel like daydreaming all the time. It's like stareing at nothing but something at the same time... you know what I mean? I agree it's like spacing out, but what is it exactly? And why does it occur? Sometimes I think about something that is random in a daze but more than not I don't really have thoughts in a daze. But sometimes I notice I'm in a daze befor I have to blink, but other times I dont notice untill my eyes start to burn and water. And thats when I realize what Im starring at. Grrrrr! This is very difficult to describe the right way in words. I hope theres someone out there that can relate and shed some light on my thoughts. Sorry if this sounds stupid and juvenile(sp). I've practically confused myself...sort of... Nevermind. Thanks everyone.
