Call someone a daydreamer and you may as well just call them a flake, a space cadet, or a slacker. Why are we so down on daydreaming? 'Daydreaming is looked upon negatively because it represents 'non-doing' in a society that emphasizes productivity,' says John McGrail, a clinical hypnotherapist in Los Angeles. 'We are under constant pressure to do, achieve, produce, succeed.' But daydreaming can be beneficial in many ways and, ironically, can actually boost productivity. Plus, it's something almost everyone does naturally. Psychologists estimate that we daydream for one-third to one-half of our waking hours, although a single daydream lasts only a few minutes.
