my mom thinks i have mental problems because im tired of living such a boring life tht has no miracles or nature in it. is it bad to daydream about a place where you can be free and be what u want to be. (as in a fantasy world) to see miracles tht many people saw when they lived during christ. is it bad to wonder and to get off of this planet and into your own world once in awhile when u want to be alone and do things u know u wont be able to do? please give me a scientific response or something. in general im pretty much asking is it bad to dream believe and wonder in unatural and miraculous things?

Well, I apologize for only being able to give my opinion with no "scientific" basis. It is actually good to daydream and believe in wondorous things. It give a release of the pressures of the world. We humans do NOT know everything and we never will. These things you speak of exist as long as you can imagine them.
I love reading to get away, as I have lost most of my own imagination. I still appreciate the beauty of the mind.
If I were you, I would start writing about my mental meanderings. You can come up with some great ideas for books that way. Maybe you'd like to share them with others and write one some day.

No, I think you're completely healthy and normal to daydream of your own happy place, as long as you don't lose touch with reality. If you're still getting your work done and paying attention to the people around you, then there's nothing bad about it. It's actually pretty cool to explore ideas like this in your mind, because that's part of human nature; some of us just are not satisfied with the ordinary and the mundane.
I'm in the same boat, and I find it helpful to do meditations sometimes. You can also channel all this brilliance into a creative outlet, like fiction writing or music. Or...just dream. Dreaming without action is a mistake, but action without dreaming is even worse.
Best wishes!

It is not bad to dream or believe and wonder of unnatural things, actually that gives you strenght to overcome your life's obstacles, when it becomes bad it is when that daydreaming affects your real world.

NO IS NOT!!!, common, life isn't this normality that we are costume too, there is more to that, that is why we have imagination, but of course, we have too know what to do with it, so, in my opinion you should write it down on paper, construct what you are thinking in writing or in painting, maybe you like arts but don't know what to do with it........im a writer myself so I know what your saying, I can stay in one place and think and think and dream and dream and smile, but after that, is work time............
