问题     The type of daydreams people have, whether they are pleasant and hopeful or filled with despair, take shape in child hood when everyone develops one of three basic daydreaming styles: positive, negative and scattered, American Health re ports. Although everyone lapses occasionally into each of these types, positive daydreamers are more likely to imagine happy, playful or entertaining scenarios. Negative daydreamers tend to dwell on life’s darker side, envisioning dangerous and/ or life-threatening situations, such as the one of a fatal or debilitating disease or becoming a victim of violence. Scattered daydreamers are easily bored and distracted. "Their mental images tend to be fleeting, repetitive and shallow, like variations on the same fairy tale," explains Yale psychologist Rani Tower.
    While all three types are common, positive fantasies are likeliest to serve as springboards for problem solving, while negative and scattered daydreamers may leave a person feeling anxious. "Negative daydreamers" are waiting for the "other shoe to fall". Their fantasies are often guilt-ridden or obsessive, Tower explains.
    There are times when drifting away can cause problems, according to Blondin. "If daydreaming gets in the way of daily function because the person is doing it all day, the person won’t be very productive," she says. "The amount of time and the frequency that a person daydreams is what’s important. It should not take up all of your time. If people find their daydreaming is becoming excessive, they should take a realistic look at what’s going on in their life and ask themselves what they are trying to avoid. Then they can assess what steps they need to take to correct the situation."(Anyone who has a hard time discriminating between reality and fantasy or starts replacing real. life family and friends with imagined people should seek professional help.)
    Singer sums up the advantages of daydreams to the average person: "By sitting quietly and letting your daydreams e merge instead of squelching them, you may find there are parts of yourself you haven’t been listening to. Instead of fearing them, you’ll gain access to a tremendous range of interesting, creative ideas."
