The Teenage Writer's Handbook Increased Creativity Daydreaming has been shown to increase creativity in a number of ways. For example, daydreaming allows us to think more freely and explore new possibilities. It can also help us to connect seemingly unrelated ideas, which can lead to new creative insights. In addition, daydreaming can help us to escape from the everyday world and tap into our subconscious minds, which can be a rich source of creativity. Thinking more freely When we daydream, we are not bound by the same rules and constraints that we are when we are focused on a specific task. This allows us to think more freely and explore new possibilities. For example, if we are daydreaming about our career, we might come up with new ideas for projects or ways to improve our work. We might also think about new ways to solve problems or come up with new solutions to challenges.
