back to daydreaming

As many other people already talked about in their posts, I am very interesting in the idea of daydreaming. Is daydreaming seeing? I think it depends on how we define seeing. Even though, as demonstrated in class, our brain often generates images that are not there I don't believe these images are equivalent to the images we "see" when daydreaming. In developmental psychology, my professor compared daydreaming as adults to how children pretend play. We know that our daydreams are not real, and we do not think what we are daydreaming is actually happening. I hope we explore the idea of imagination more in this class, and daydreaming. It seems that many people are interested in this topic.
