It is clear from the passage that daydreaming ----.
Daydreams are a form of imagination. In daydreams,
the person forms a mental image of a past experience
or of a situation that he or she has never actually
experienced. The daydreamer may use these mental
pictures to escape from reality temporarily, to overcome
a frustrating situation, or to satisfy hidden wishes.
Although most psychologists view daydreams as
generally healthy and natural, this was not always the
case. In the 1960s, for example, textbooks used for
training teachers provided strategies for combating
daydreaming. Daydreams occur in frequencies set by
biological cycles of temperature and hormone levels, or
they can be triggerred by a sensory input such as sight,
taste, smell, sound, and touch. Psychologists estimate
that the average person daydreams about every 90
minutes, and daydreams peak around the lunch hour
(noon to 2 p.m.). Daydreaming first occurs for most
people during childhood, sometime before the age of
three, and these early daydreams set the pattern for
adult daydreaming. Children who have positive, happy
daydreams of success and achievement usually
continue these types of mental images into adulthood.
Daydreams become the incentive for problem-solving,
creativity, or accomplishment. On the other hand,
children whose daydreams are negative or scary are
more likely to experience anxiety and fear, and this
pattern will carry over into adulthood as well. A child’s
daydreams may take a visible or public form – the
daydreamer talks about his or her mental images while
he or she is experiencing them, and may even act out
the scenario he or she is imagining. After the age of ten,
however, the process of internalising daydreaming
begins – the child no longer expresses but continues to
form them.
