Hyperactivity in hyperactive dreamers is a reflection of their state of mind – a reflection of their quick, impulsive thoughts, as well as their emotional state. For them to be able to calm down and relax, they must be able to maintain their internal flow of mental energy. They do this by playing with their pen, rocking in their chair, walking in circles, moving their hands and feet, listening to music or doing something interesting (their interests as well create a flow of energy, they do not necessarily have to move). This movement or stimulation provides them with a flow of mental energy, which makes them relax, settle down and therefore are able to concentrate and be more productive.

What happens when it is expected that such children must be calm and quiet? They no longer have a flow of energy and energy becomes trapped within them; because they have no release mechanism, they must cope with the extra energy. In that case, the energy becomes contra productive.

When under emotions, hyperactivity can become energy boost making them more productive and more engaged to their tasks than their non hyperactive peers.
