Daydreaming

I wonder if anyone has ever had a moment in his or her seemingly significant life, when you find yourself daydreaming. Not just daydreaming, but in fact finding yourself outside of the realm or reality, delving into your imagination where you can see, feel, taste, and even smell everything in this "vision" before you. I recently had one such event occur to me on several seperate occasions. For a little background information, I lived in Poland for nearly eight months and had a smashing time and have long since recognized certain smells and feelings associated with the Polish traditions and culture. On one of these amazing adventures into my own consciousness, I discovered that I was actually smelling the memory from which I was daydreaming about. I found it quite exciting, and I even concluded for myself what I have always heard: Smells are the longest lasting memory impressions. It is easy to forget a face in your thoughts, but when do you forget smells?
