Daydreaming is good for your health - do you daydream?

[Alain]

I daydream a lot. I tend to daydream when I’m trying to sleep or if I wake up in the early hours. I have always daydreamed and over the years my daydreams have evolved and changed.
Its all pure fantasy

From the resources in the OP. Does this describe you?

People who daydream might be far more intelligence, according to new research.

For a long time, getting lost in thought has been seen as a symptom of inefficient minds: people who can’t concentrate or get distracted. But actually, it might show that your brain is simply too quick and efficient to avoid getting distracted, according to a major new study.

“People with efficient brains may have too much brain capacity to stop their minds from wandering,” said Eric Schumacher, the psychology professor who helped lead the study.

@gumbud

the buddhists of course have the opposite view

Yes, the Buddhists are the humblest know-it-alls you are ever likely to come across.

This is reminding me of Tom in Waiting for God, he had a great daydream life

I always thought mindfulness was overrated.

I don’t want to be “in the moment” when I’m cleaning the loo, trudging up a traffic filled road to get to the station, listening to the office bore

I wanna be swimming in the sea in Perranporth, walking up the Champs-Élysées, getting an award for my prize winning novel, chatting to Sylvester Stallone

So that’s where my mind takes me!

Sorry; just daydreaming.
