where daydreaming occurs

A functional magnetic resonance image of part of the daydreaming network (circled) in the cortex. Image courtesy of Malia Mason et al. and the NHI. The light color indicates the region is more active during daydreaming than during focused tasks.Recent studies done on January 2007 show that a network of regions in the brain's cortex are active when we daydream.  This was reported in the article Why we daydream. Although this is known it is still unknown why some people develop excessive daydreaming the lastest research on was by Cynthia Schupak and Jesse Rosenthal has been published. It's called Consciousness and Cognition.

    I would expect more than this from a class period of research. So what are we daydreaming about? Is there a connection to IQ? Creativity?
