Past tense of daydream; to have spent time imagining pleasant situations or fantasies while awake during the day.
From 'daydream,' which combines 'day' with 'dream,' a concept that became popular in the 1600s-1700s as a descriptor for waking fantasies.
Neuroscientists now know that daydreaming—the brain 'default mode'—is actually when creative breakthroughs happen, so daydreamers might be smarter than people thought.
