Thinking, Reflecting, Daydreaming: Which one is it?

As I started reading The Crying of Lot 49 I noticed that Oedipa is the kind of person that reflects a lot and goes far from the world thinking and wondering about life, she´s like a daydreamer. The very firts part of the book she receives a letter that mentions that hey ex-boyfriend has passed away and that she is the rightful owner of one of his houses. I suppose the house has the appearance of Pablo Escobar's farm, (off course not as exagerated) because it was once great and pretty but due to life situations, sometimes things get abandoned. Both houses were great and belonged to wealthy men but one of them got practically broke and the other got killed. Pierce had lost 2 million dolars in a business that didn't turn out as expected so he didn't even have money to pay for minor maintenance of a house. I suppose this house is good for Oedipa because it doesn't seem like her husband and her have a very good economic situation. Her husband worked as a sales man for used cars and now works as a DJ for a radio station.

The impression I'm getting from this firts bit of the book is that Oedipa is one of those persons who have not done always what they desire because of what people might think. She is a socially oppressed person. What makes me think this is that she thinks a lot and when people thinnk a lot about what they are going to do, they ussualy think of the expectations that society has for them. For example, towards the end of the chapter, when the doctor propose to escape she keeps thinking that she always wanted to escape through her relationship with Pierce, but now she doesn't even know whta she wanted to escape from! There it is, she thought so much about insignificant things that she forgot the most basic question of the topic. Maybe she just wanted to try something new, given the fact that she had never escaped before.
