On the flipside, thinning gray matter has been linked with the cognitive decline that comes with aging. So, there may be something about positive constructive daydreaming that has a direct impact on your brain, but scientists are still looking into it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA specific network in the brain\u2014the default mode network\u2014is active during daydreaming,\u201d Dr. Panos says. \u201cThis network is comprised of smaller systems that include the medial temporal system (necessary for spatial and episodic memory) and the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (associated with a variety of functions, including emotional regulation, problem-solving, decision-making, theory of mind, and abstract reasoning).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer\u2019s disease and frontotemporal dementia are linked with decreased activation in those brain areas, as well as decreased cognitive performance on more basic tasks linked with functional ability in those areas, Dr. Panos says. \u201cMore recent research has begun exploring higher level constructs like positive constructive daydreaming, and found that individuals with neurodegenerative conditions also had lower positive constructive daydreaming episodes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Dr. Panos says that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that daydreaming can help with better cognitive health. What<em> is<\/em> known, though, is that in order to daydream, you need to be able to make and retain memories, retrieve that information, and project that information into the future. Basically, you need to have good brain health in order to do positive constructive daydreaming.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Panos says there isn\u2019t enough research right now to say for sure that daydreaming will help slow cognitive decline over time. But she says that there is already \u201ccompelling evidence\u201d to suggest that it can help with problem-solving. \u201cTaking a break from focused attention on something can enhance learning,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to try to daydream in a positive way, Dr. Winter suggests letting your mind wander toward future plans\u2014an upcoming vacation or what your dream home would look like, for example\u2014when you\u2019re laying in bed at night. If nothing else, it can help you relax and unwind for sleep.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daydreaming doesn\u2019t exactly have the best reputation.
