Being INTP, a great deal of our day is dedicated to daydreaming.. Ideas crossing with ideas, thoughts being challenged multiple times, and much more diddly squat going on in the brain, lol

Visualization of the future is making you good in many aspects of your life, specialists say. They claim that daydreaming can also lead to better problem solving and those who tend to fantasize are known to be good at brainstorming.

Although, scientists urge not to overindulge in daydreaming as you may totally lose a connection with present. There should be a right place and time for daydreaming to get the benefits. When you get nervous or feel stressed it is a high time to start daydreaming, experts recommend.

First of all correlation =/= causation for the first paragraph. The second one just follows their assumption, as if people who don't normally daydream can do it to the extent of getting out of touch with reality.

Ooooh, it's like The Secret!!!11!!

I think I daydream too much.

I think I'm more stressed because I daydream too much and don't get enough done.

My thoughts exactly. This article summarized:

"Hey Sensors! If you participate in this activity that's commonly associated with iNtuition, you might get all the other benefits as well!"

this is definitely true for me too, if i were to daydream while i am stressed it just makes the reality of the stress 10 times worse when i come back to it, it also wastes the valuable time i should probably be using to meet the deadlines i have already spent too long putting off...

I think I'm more stressed because I daydream too much and don't get enough done.

This defines my problems almost entirely. If there is something which could either turn out good or bad, I'll find myself content to just daydream out the "good" solution. Then it'll get away from the constraints of reality, and because because of the impossibility of my daydream, I know it'll never work out that way, and I just won't try.

I think daydreaming has given me a kind of insanity that is beneficial to survival. I no longer see what people do/decide/say as questions or any type of truth, but as a divergence from an opposing dual decision. And I want to laugh in their faces when they feel so adamant about how what they have decided has no other possibilities; this is an even stronger feeling when they contradict their own beliefs in the process.

I have attachment and non-attachment to everything I do. Am I insane? Schizophrenic? The definition of unstable? But it only helps me...Am I autistic?

Deconstructing reality is painful if there is nothing left in the process. I guess they are right that as long as it's not too much. But then again, even though I know what I know (or is it what I think I know what I know?), it's still my choice to be the way I am. Correlation of the negative does not have to imply causation of high daydreaming.
But it always seems easier to blame an introvert's problems on simply being introverted; what people often don't accept is that the introversion aims to solve problems of extroversion; we could just as easily say that it is the extroversion from whence the negative comes from - the introversion an attempt to solve the problem and the extroversion the cause of it.

How healthy can that be though? Sure, daydreaming is fun and all but that's like saying water is healthy.

That's a good point. Water is healthy, but in excess, but even water can be detrimental.
The research said that daydreaming is good. But how much?
