While the results described here are certainly interesting, this is definitely not the whole story. First of all, not all people who daydream have high working memory capacity. Although the correlation suggests that relationship, it doesn’t mean that only people who can afford to daydream are the ones doing it. So, if someone with low working memory capacity daydreams during an important task (prepping their tax return, for instance), he or she might be prone to more errors than someone with higher working memory capacity who is daydreaming to the same extent. There is a lot of other research in Psychology demonstrating that mind-wandering/daydreaming can have detrimental effects on other types of memory tasks. Ongoing research will help reveal the full story, but this is article does not mean we should all stop paying attention in class or while driving or whatever.

So does that mean that daydreaming is an activity that should be encouraged? And aren’t there different levels of depth when it comes to daydreaming?
Someone who is daydreaming, but still aware of what’s happening around them is at a different stage of daydreaming then somebody who is completely absent and doesn’t even notice when another person calls him or her by name.
