Day Dreamers in history?

[Ellie Hale]

I remember I was watching the history channel one day and came across a episode and it was about great thinkers, and people. (this was a while ago) But it was describing traits of them and what they liked to do in their free time.

And the more i listened the more it sounded like, well me.

How long do you think MD has been around for? Do you think any famous people in history might of had it? Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin? etc. kings, philosophers.  What did people do? since some of us day dream to music and such, did they do the same? 

What did they day-dream of? I guess most of us day dream about stuff in our world right now like t.vs driving in cars etc... so if someone had MD in the 1500s would they dream of ridding a horse and saving a village, from another attacking kingdom?

I have thought of that and wondered the same thing, it wouldn't surprise me if some of the great writers, poets, philosophers etc. might have been daydreamers, you hear of many of them being loner types who overthink everything like I do. However it would appear that they were able to turn those daydreams into productive creative energy!

I've also wondered about how long MD has been around. Probably for centuries, because it's not like you really need much of anything to do it. Maybe back in colonial times people's triggers were Homeric epics, Shakespearean plays, and baroque music!
