ABSTRACT
We humans tend to get involved in dreams created by us generally referred as daydreams. It can be done for pleasure sake but it can also be the result of depression which can make the person difficult to focus on his daily tasks making his life difficult. Various triggers include T.V, movies, songs, video games, loneliness or boredom. The present study examined the effect of daydreaming in everyday life, its triggers and how we can overcome it. Here, positive effects as well as negative effects of daydreaming are discussed. A research has been conducted and a result had been compiled based on the information given by people. It showed that the highest trigger among people is because of movies where they spend around 5 hours in daydreaming about it.
