With or without knowledge, everyone will daydream at some or the other time. Here are a few facts about it.

Scientists have found that our brain fires nerve impulses, an indicator of activity, even when we are daydreaming.

When the mind is daydreaming, it is hard to remember what was going around before it stopped paying attention.

Even though it is an extremely common experience that every individual’s mind daydreams, it becomes noticeable when daydreaming is quite often.

Repeated & excessive daydreaming is known as Maladaptive daydreaming.

Individuals with maladaptive daydreaming exhibit more symptoms of depression, general anxiety, social anxiety and dissociation.
