stormylady81: Which helps you escape or forget your problems for awhile?
I love the "Cat Who..." books, as well as the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. There's nothing like sitting up in bed reading for awhile before the ol' Sandman konks me on the head!
Walk in the woods if possible, clears my head of all the noise in there. I feel 1 with nature. ]Have to say music plays a close 2nd. Rarely listen to classical, but when I want to escape, close my eyes lay down and the smooth sounds relax my body and soul.
The vastness of the ocean, the cool breeze, the sounds of the birds flying high...all of these makes me realize, my problems are but small compared to such greatness....

Magic mushrooms.
We spend so much time in our lives being fixated upon the obvious when really we could smash down the doors of perception and focus on all the things that aren't really there, things that we normally don't see because we're so distracted by the things that are really there.

Are you positive that they are not real? Maybe you're standing in the doorway of this reality & another serparate reality. Kinda partway inbetween. Is this existence, the one we experience when "awake", the real one & our dreams just dreams? Or are our dreams the true reality & this one illusion? Or is TRUE reality something you find, in between, while juggling 2 different views of "reality" ?
WhatUwish4: All of the above, but if I really want to take my mind off my problems I saddle my horse.There's nothing like trying to stay on a big baby bronco to keep your mind off everything else.
I would love that kind of relaxation - although a bucking bronc baby or not - more like a Palomino ride through the mountains.

Just lying on the beach or in the garden when sun is hot and light breeze cools me. Books are great too, such like adventure books. Music may be emotionally too intense for me to relax, so I would not call it a means to relax.

I love loud dance music so that's definitely out ...... But if I really wanted to relax and escape from it all, I would choose to have some alone time, just close my eyes and think only of "happy thoughts" .....
