  <title><![CDATA[Is there any benefit to daydreaming?]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The professional daydreamers among us might argue that there is indeed a benefit to letting your mind wander; just five minutes of&nbsp;pretending to be on a beach in&nbsp;Tahiti can be&nbsp;a worthwhile&nbsp;escape from the day&#39;s worries. But a new <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028393217302592">study</a> from researchers with the <a href="http://www.psychology.gatech.edu">School of Psychology</a> shows that for some, daydreaming could be a sign of greater intellectual ability and creativity. This Guardian story quotes the study&#39;s lead author, graduate student <a href="http://control.gatech.edu/people/graduate/cgodwin/">Christine Godwin.</a></p>
