I don't think you wish you were Prudence, she went crazy while she as at the meditation retreat. As John put it, they were in a race to see who could get "cosmic" first and Prudence decided that the best way to achieve that goal was to lock herself away in her room. So John and George were sent to sing to her and eventually got her out. Fortunately, she inspired John to write one of his best.

It's kind of weird to think about listening to this song when it actually came out. the guitar tone is just perfect and its one of the beatles songs that truly lives up to the idea and image of the band that persists

Prudence Farrow wasn't bored, she joined The Beatles, Donovan, and others in India, and being very sensitive, when in deep meditation, she got so overwhelmed, that she didn't recognize people around her, not even her brother. She fell into depression and locked herself in her room and the others began to worry. John, in an effort to cheer her up, wrote this beautiful song :)
