Day Dream Chapter 13 Question and Answers
What is day-dreaming? Have you ever had a dayom? How is it different from the dream you may have had night. Share your day-dream with your friends.
Answer.
To dream in day time with open eyes is called daydreaming. I also have day-dreaming sometimes. I imagine to get the things which I don't have with me.
The dream we have at night is different from day-dreaming. In day-dreaming we knowingly imagine of a dream. But we see dreams at night unknowingly (बिना जाने हुए या कोई प्रयास ).

Look at the following sentences taken from the lesson:
The husband said, "When I get some money, I'm going to buy a cow."
The wife said, "I'll milk the cow. I'll have to get some pots."
The comma (,) represents the shortest pause and is used :
(i) to separate a series of words : e.g., I travelled to France, England and India.
(ii) to separate each pair of words connected by 'and'; e.g.. We should be devout and humble, cheerful and serene, active and alert.
(iii) to mark off words used in addressing people; e.g. Come into the garden, Naresh.
(iv) To mark off a direct quotation from the rest of the sentence; e.g., The husband asked, "What did you buy ?"
The inverted commas (" ...") are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or a quotation. “I would rather die," he exclaimed.
E.1.1. Insert comma and inverted commas wherever necessary.
A.. have been to France, Portugal, Spain and China.
B. Hey Rajiv come to me said Aslam.
C. High and low rich and poor must all die.

* What are day-dreams about?
* Should one spend one's time in day-dreaming? How are hey helpful?
* What are some do's and don'ts about day-dreaming?
Answer -
Seeing dreams with open eyes is called day-dreaming. In dreams, we don't think of seeing a dream. It comes very naturally. But day-dreaming is done willingly. Generally, day-dreams are about the things a person doesn't have. And he desires to get those things in his day-dreams. Day-dreamings are helpfull in satisfying a person for some time. But if one forms a habit of day-dreaming, one becomes dull . In short, we should day-dream within a limit . We should not indulge in day-dreaming too often. Day-dreamers can do hard labour. They become dependent on false faithand false hopes .
