from Psychology for Living by Drs. Herbert Sorenson and Marguerite Malm (1964)

The ill effects of excessive daydreaming are many:

* It causes you to live in a counterfeit world in which you get nothing of real value.

* It makes the actual world seem so dull that you have no interest in it.

* It makes getting back to reality harder than ever.
