Everyone used to have daydream. Daydream is one kind of dream. Meaning of dream from Oxford dictionary is “a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep”, but meaning of daydream is “A series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present”. By the way, daydream has many effects to human being. Though there are many advantages of daydream, but also there is the disadvantage, too. So that everyone can have daydream, but make sure it is not too much and make sure you can control it.
In the short story that we have read there are many stories that talk about daydream. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is one of the stories that have main idea about daydream. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is about "Walter Mitty”; the man who always daydreams. He always daydreams to being the hero. On the other hand, his real life has nothing special. He cannot do anything well by himself. He is forgetful. He cannot even solve an easy thing like get the chain out of the wheel. He always gets henpecked from his wife. For this reason, it makes he wants to be the reliable man. His characters in his beautiful daydreams are full of confidence because he wants to fulfill his lack points. However, daydream can be the cause of problem for "Walter Mitty" because he daydreams too much. He always daydreams every time and everywhere he goes. In addition, he daydreams while he driving the car. Nonetheless, from the story you can see that "Walter Mitty" cannot control himself from daydream. It is the simple point to know. People have to concentrate whatever they do. If people do not concentrate when they did something, it can be the large accident in someday.
"The Nightingale and the Rose" is another story that has the idea about daydream. “The Nightingale and the Rose" is the story about the Student who fall in love and the Nightingale who believe in true love. About the daydream points in this story, I will divide it into daydream in true love of the Nightingale and daydream of the Student. About daydream in true love of the Nightingale, you can see that the Nightingale truly believe in true love and she has been daydream about it. You can see it from what she says. Her daydream is being the problem because she does not have the cognizant and determine to do something so fast. She daydreams too much about true love and set her daydream too high and too beautiful for reality. She does not even know the value of her life. She sacrifices her life easily and does it without the rethinking by carefully. About the student, he has daydream a lot to the girl that he likes. In the story, the girl gives him a condition that is she would dance with him if he can give her a rose. The problem that is there are no red rose in his garden. It is the cause that makes him cries and daydream a lot. He just cries and daydream but he does not do anything. He even has any intention to find the red rose. He just waited and cried. In the end of the story, the girl refuses him. He suddenly loses all of thought when the girl threw out his red rose. He annual his will easily.
The last story that has idea about the daydream for me is “The Necklace”. “The Necklace” is the story about Mathilde Loisel. She is a girl who loves in luxurious life and expensive things. Unfortunately, she was not born in the rich family that makes her dream come true. Moreover, she gets married with the clerk man who not rich. Her life is so simply, but she always daydreams to the luxurious life that she has not had. By the way, her daydream leads her to the problem. One day Mathilde Loisel visit her friend; Madame Forestier to lend the necklace. Mathilde Loisel lost her friend necklace. Then she was affected from her luxurious daydream because she has to work hard to earn money and replace the new necklace for her friend. Finally, she can earn the money and can replace the new one for her friend.
From these three stories you can see that over daydream could make the trouble. Form the short stories, the protagonists are stuck in their daydream too much. They do not care their reality life. In fact, they can separate their daydreams from their reality life. Daydream does not have only the bad disadvantage. You could gain the benefit from daydream. The first one that you can gain is an inspiration. Such as from the “Necklace”, you can see in the finally Mathilde Loisel can get the necklace from working hard. On account of she has the target. That means you can make your dream come true if you work hard. You can do it well with your intention. You can make your daydream to be your target. You can make it real, but make sure it based on the reality. From "The Nightingale and the Rose" in case of the Nightingale has enough daydreams and based on the reality. Maybe she has not sacrificed her life. In case of the student find a red rose by himself or when he was refused. He has to adhere in his daydream and be patient. He has
