Reality sucks for these dreamers.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Sep 06, 2018
When we use the word “dreamy” to describe ourselves, we generally don’t mean that we’re beautiful or incredibly attractive. We use it to mean that we spend a lot of time in our heads thinking, daydreaming, and fantasizing.
The dreamy zodiac signs tend to not be overly practical or sensible; they have their own perspective on life and it’s shaped by their imagination. They see things as they could be or how they’d like them to be. Their horoscope and astrology may tell them to snap back to reality, but they feel more comfortable in their imaginative world than in the real world.
You may not always be present and sometimes your attention strays, but that doesn't mean you have entirely tuned out. You are conscious of the world around you, it’s just that the places and scenarios you create in your head are a lot more fun.
When you’re a daydreamer, it may feel almost painful when you’re forced out of a dream. Things like end-of-class bells, horns honking, and alarms aren’t your friends when you’re a dreamer. It’s best when you can be somewhere calm and peaceful, and where you don’t need to respond to the world around you; you can just lose yourself in your imagination.
1. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces individuals spend a lot of time in their heads — it's where they go to escape, for inspiration, and to dream. Unfortunately, sometimes Pisces go inside their heads when they're with other people and it's not unusual for someone to say Pisces' name a few times before they realize they're being spoken to.
One of Pisces' secret goals is to be able to spend more time in bed, just relaxing and dreaming. Their imagination is their favorite place to be.
2 AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius is often lost in their head because they are always coming up with new ways of doing things, new concepts and ideas, and all kinds of creative endeavors. Because they're so dreamy, it's not unlikely for an Aquarius to run into stationary objects, bump into people, or go somewhere else during the middle of a conversation.
They don't mind noise or the sounds of people and life because their concentration is on what they're imagining and thinking about. Ultimately, all that time inside their head will lead to some pretty amazing things.
3. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers definitely dance to the beat of their own drummer — a drummer which resides in their head. Music is one way that inspires Cancers and helps them to tap into their imagination for they listen to the music and get inspired.
They're very creative too and are rarely bored because of slightly strange, somewhat unreal, but still fantastic life in their head. Cancers may not be the most practical of the zodiac signs, but because of their dreamy way of seeing the world, they are visionary and inventive.
4. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
If there's one thing that Libras hate, it's people without imagination. Libra's ability to daydream and fantasize is what makes their world vibrant and colorful. They're able to see beauty in places that other people miss.
Libras have a rich fantasy world that enriches their everyday life. Turning their dreams into reality is something that gives them joy and purpose. If they can dream something, then Libra will believe it can happen.
5. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis talk to themselves by accident, way more than they care to admit. It can sometimes be challenging for them to distinguish between what is happening right now and what they wish was happening. They do very well with creative endeavors and are very imaginative.
The things that other people may consider boring such as long car rides are chances for Gemini to go to the fantasy world in their head and dream of new worlds and strange creatures.
