It is also usefl for personal conflicts.
Some psychotherapists call it “rewinding the tape” for example reviewing an argument in your mind and going back and imagining you responded differently . I you try this exercise a few times you will realize taht each time you respond differently and begin to figure out better ways of dealing with the person you had the argument with in the future.

It also helps people to maintain relationships . Absence makes teh heart grow fonder especially between daydreamers. Happy couples tend to think about their loved one when they’re apart which has he effect of psycolgically maintaining the relationship.
Boosting productivity is another factor of daydreaming . Studies also suggest that when a person allws himself a few minutes to daydream it may put you in a much better mood allowing you then to continue your work in a better way and obviously faster. Daydreaming about someting positive that you have to do after your work clears your mind and gives you the urge to get things done ! Maybe a factor that most people associate daydreaming with is relieving boredom. In my opinion this is why most people daydream a lot.
People with monotonous jobs , like factory workers and security guards often use daydreaming to keep their minds stimulated and get them through the day. Students also use day dreaming as a way of escaping from all the stress that school bring along with it . Cementing beliefs and values are other ways of letting daydreaming get in the way. Imagining scenarios and imagining yourslef convincing someone of something you believe in storngly you are also in a sense getting to know yourself better and understanding for what you stand for.
Daydreaming also boosts your sense of creativity and achievements. The beauty of day dreamin is that nothing is impossible. Olympic athletes and performers use the same kind of visualisatin in order to help in tehir performance in th way that actual physical practice does All this is not to say that there aren’t potential negatives to day dreaming. Obsessive thinking, for example can interfere with day-to-day functioning in some cases. Likewise, lonely people can furthere isolate themsleves if they spend too much time ruminating about the past.
