Daydreaming is a form of imagination or a stream of consciousness that actually allows us to take a break from reality for just a brief period. Researchers believe it takes up so much of our time roughly 47 percent like we said before. Neuroimaging techniques have shown that the brain is really alive when we're daydreaming and may also explain why we daydream a lot more when we're bored.
This week on the podcast we are breaking down the psychology of our dreams - why we dream, the role of our brain, what our dreams mean, repressed desires, nightmares and even the role of daydreaming for our mental wellbeing. If you've ever wondered about your weird dreams, some of the scientific theories and whether you are a maladaptive daydreamer, this episode is for you as we jump into the fascinating science and psychology behind these imaginative, colourful hallucinations.
