Daydreaming & Moving

Apparently the direction you are moving in influences the direction your mind wanders. People for whom forward motion was simulated (through dots on a screen) were more likely to daydream about future events, whereas people for whom backward motion was simulated were more likely to daydream about past events. I generally daydream about nonsensical things like flying (like a bird, not in a plane) -- I also am a couch potato. Maybe if I start moving around, I'll suddenly start having brilliant thoughts about real things in the future.
