The article put me in mind of Win Wenger's Image Streaming, which strikes me as not very much like "daydreaming" in the sense of thinking about nothing in particular. In Image Streaming one is bringing many areas of the mind into an ongoing, unfolding thought process. I suppose many creativity-boosting practices are really more like semi-structured mind 'wandering', which is rather different from 'daydreaming'. This is why I mentioned it: these kinds of learning or intelligence enhancement practices should increase the scope of brain use. Are there scans of brains engaged in Image Streaming or Photo Reading, showing lots of activity centers? I agree, this kind of material is very speculative.
