Scientists in Japan have created a new type of alarm to help with productivity! In short, it can monitor your brainwaves and prevents you from zoning out and daydreaming. When you go into "La La Land," it'll sense it and play an alarm to snap you out of it. They hope people will WANT to use it, although I fear employers may make it part of the job/uniform.

Now, I know what I daydream about. It all depends on my interests at the time. If I'm reading a good book or playing a game, my thoughts and dreams will center around those topics. Who hasn't daydreamed of winning it big when the lotto is in the news? Heck, I already know what I'd do with my winnings, two words: Bowling Alley. I asked Yakima what they had daydreamed about.

WHAT DOES YAKIMA DAYDREAM ABOUT?

Of course, the topic of sex and intimacy came up several times. Going on vacation and FOOD were also popular! When you think about it, is there anything else? Do you want to daydream about work while you're at work? That'd be called a "Daymare."

Some zone out and think of the world as a whole. Some mock when they daydream, while others think of the great things that can happen.
