I read to my son at night before bed and sometimes the book is all of the sudden over -- I read it to him while my thoughts wondered. It's weird how we are able to do that. And I know it's not because I've read the book SO many times, because it's actually happened to be during a Daniel Steele book I was reading.

Maybe not so much for me in reading (I do daydream and have to re-read something afterwards), but unfortunately this has become a habit for me in many other things - particularly repetitious or routine things (i.e. morning breakfast, driving). If this was a new read do you happen to remember anything at all about the story? Maybe reading to your son is just second nature and the goal is for the comfort process and not so much for you to analyze the story.

I've done that but I normally read the same paragraph over and over. I've never finished a book while not thinking about it.
-
Ive done it several times. One minute im reading a page then i zone out and realize im on the next page already.

yes i did that sometimes to and it wasnt fun.

i know sometimes when i would be up late at night reading i would tend to zone out. then i would have to get myself focused back to reading. usually i would become the character in the book and play out the scenes in my head.

I've zoned out at times while driving the car. Somehow, the car knows where to go. If you have a lot of errands to run or thinking of other things, it's easy to not pay attention when you are driving. I have zoned out reading also, and like others had to read the same paragraph over and over. If it happens too many times, then I know that reading at that moment is not a good idea because my concentration is nil. I have problems doing knitting or crocheting and watching a video at the same time.

That could be extremely dangerous.

The car does not possess consciousness and doesn't know where to go; that'd be the semi-aware driver. It is such semi-aware drivers who aren't paying attention and are responsible for a large number of car accidents. Not only are they a danger to others, they are a danger to themselves. The police term this as "reckless driving".

That's called pondering and if you want to get more focus on things you can try some herbal supplements if your doctor is ok with them.

If I'm really into it then I don't find myself zoning out but if I really cant concentrate and read the same thing over and over again then I know it's time for a break
-
a few times
-
Thats funny, I always zone out when I am reading, it seems strange to me, but I figure I am real comfortable when I am reading, so thats why it must happen.
-
Never zoned out a book, but if I'm reading, everything else seems to disappear. I'll be reading, stop for one reason or another, and be like "wow, that much time passed...?"
-
Yes all the time !!!!

Oh for goodness sake grow up! "The car knows where to go" was a joke! However, you have once again followed me into a thread just to administer another sarcastic put down. Don't you have better things to do?
Like.......go soak your head!

Nope. Saw a publically-posted message in a public forum and replied to it. You 'sound' a bit paranoid however, when you stop being paranoid, that's when the whitecoats come and getcha?
Don't you have better things to do? Like.......go soak your head!
Didn't you supposedly "block" my posts so that you wouldn't have to support your empty contentions? Guess that was another 'evangelist exaggeration' example submitted as evidence.
-
No, you were on ignore for awhile, but I want you to know that you will not have the satisfaction of telling me what to do or what to say. That's my choice.......not yours.
I made a clear decision to confront you as you think your so superior.
-

If that's how you want to spin it, although I could quote your own posted words.
but I want you to know that you will not have the satisfaction of telling me what to do or what to say.
Quote where exactly I told you "what to do or say" or, is that another unsubstantiated declaration to cover up your whining when challenged to support your unsupported claims?
That's my choice.......not yours.
It always was and falsely accusing someone otherwise is dishonest. Just as I have the choice to respond to Public Posts in a Public Forum if wished, without being falsely accused of 'stalking'. Again, it is your choice to respond or not to any public post; no one said you couldn't except you, (which turned out to be some sort of 'temporary ignore' backpedal). My only request is that, if you choose to reply, desist with the false characterizations, (which _will_ be challenged). Or don't however, if you're going to 'snipe-and-run' again, the false 'following me around' nonsense would ring as falsely as it did before.

Your post is confusing and has parts of mine in it, but clearly mixed up. Everybody has the option of the "ignore" button. Uh, it's a Fusion Cash option given to anybody in the forum. You can "apply" it or not. Challenge anything you want, but rest assured that everybody can go back and click on anybody's name and see where they are posting and who they are posting to.
-
Think I zoned out reading all this back and forth. Sheesh!
-

You may perceive the post as "confusing" however, my replies separate who wrote what by _attributing_, ( as in ""), even if they aren't always in separate boxes. On the other hand, your reply in message ID# 446786 is missing some of these attributions so that when you posted it, it was missing some delineations separating posted comments.

Good, that way anyone can go back and see where challenges went blithely unanswered as if the declared opinions challenged should have been taken at 'face value'.

Sorry, but picking up your quote makes mine out of context also, so I'm going to have to "break out" what I need to respond to. Sometimes I will take a part of a post to respond to as does everyone else. It's not necessary to "quote" the whole previous post at times when you are only addressing a particular point.
Now.....as I said in the other thread, it's late and past my bedtime. Say what you want in response as tomorrow is another day and the thread can be picked up then.

True however, when a quote is taken out of context, it can result in the confusion you mentioned earlier. It has been noticed that you have a tendency to avoid addressing particular points in order to promote your own agenda. While this is clear from your previous posts, it hardly constitutes responding to a particular point.

I have zoned out when reading to my son as well but usually its Cat in the Hat or The Napping House. Two books that I could probably recite from the front seat while driving I have read them to him so many times. LOL
I'm also guilty of semi-awareness while driving. I take the same backroads everyday, there is little to no traffic and if I don't hit any red lights or anything, suddenly I'm at work. Sadly the one thing that prevents this inattention is now illegal.....when I talk on the phone while driving the opposite happens, I'm hyper aware of everything around me including people walking on the sidewalks. I swear me being on the phone saved a man's life once, had I just been driving I would have hit him when he decided to run across the street, in the dark, between 2 streetlights, wearing dark clothing. I had just hung up less than a minute before he did that....was still in hyperaware mode, stopped suddenly and my mom starting yelling at me about paying attention while driving....then she saw the guy too. Had SHE have been driving he would have been squished.

Yeah I do.....especially if I'm tired and laying in bed :P
