Is daydreaming as maladaptive as it's presented? For me it's more like scenario planning than nonsense dreaming. Even if 90% is fruitless, 10% have fed into real life decisions that have had real life outcomes.

An extreme example is that "call of the void" feeling one gets when standing beside a large drop. Is it daydreaming to engage with this feeling in this scenario, or is it an intuitive way to reinforce positive decisions?
