“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.” Dr. Seuss

People continuously refer to others as being 'down to earth'. I never remember learning what 'down to earth' actually means but I guess it means you are grounded, and in reality vs. in a fantasy world i.e; 'up in the clouds'. But maybe it would be kind of nice to live in a world 'up in the clouds', where you dont see the harsh reality of the everyday routine, and you make up your life around you to be whatever you like. Sometimes life is like that, you can imagine anything you want and make your life as interesting as youd like, you can be anything you want act any way you want.
It does sound crazy but you could just imagine you were...hmm lets say a Spy and make your life that much more entertaining. Also because you are a spy you wouldnt tell anyone anyway so people would think your grounded when really your not so what they call "normal". So im not sure what is better a life being 'down to earth' or a life being 'up in the clouds'... or even over the rainbow?

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
