In fact,daydreaming has long been misunderstood.It’s considered to be a bad thing and often associated with laziness."We’re harsh on ourselves if we catch ourselves mind wandering,"says Professor Kalina Christoff from the University of British Columbia in Canada
But the truth is that some of the most important scientific discoveries came about because scientists allowed their minds to wander.For example,Albert Einstein began his theory of relativity when he daydreamed about riding a beam of sunlight to the edge of the universe.And now,research has shown that normal people can also improve their problems solving ability in the same way,reported The Telegraph.In a study,145 people aged between 19 and 32 were asked to list as many unusual uses as possible for everyday objects.Some of them were given a 12-minute break while the others were not allowed any break from the task.People on the break did not simply relax some of them were told to carry out a tiring memory task while others did an easier task.
Scientists found that people who did the easier task were daydreaming a lot They thought about personal issues in the past or in the future because their mind was at ease.
