My partner and I talk about this off and on, and I wanted to get more input.
She's a bit artsy, and I'm more of a down-to-Earth kind of person. I realize that she wanders off in her head a lot more than I do. I find myself asking her, "Where did you go?" or "Was the trip nice?" a lot when we're at home or in the car.
I told her one day that I thought she might daydream too much. She says I don't daydream enough.
I daydream maybe once a day. Normally, it's at night as I'm drifting off to sleep. She daydreams, as far as I can tell from her 'light-is-on-nobody's-home' expression at least four times a day.
So, how often do you daydream? What do you think is healthy? Care to share what you daydream about?
Personally, think you all probably know what I daydream about.

However also about a lot other stuff... like how it would be to fly away from earth and what there could be ouside, or I see people growing younger or older and becoming dust in front of my eyes, and not just people, also plants and everything, my mind just either lets things run backwards or forward faster .. and I have to say I am also good with ...uhm...daymares (is that a word? Probably not..oh well...). Means like when I walk on the street and there are cars around, I have all the unpleasent accidents that might happen in my head, detailed and bloody and painful...like one time I waited at a main street till I could cross it and a person stood so near behind me, that I felt nearly threatend and I couldn´t stop myself and imaged, that person might get into the mood to push me on the street, just when that big truck arrives here, that I see in the distance and than... well details. 
I'm the same as you in that I never stop daydreaming, but just push the daydream to the back of my mind when I need to concentrate on something. I can't remember not daydreaming and it actually interferes with my falling asleep, so I've had life-long insomnia. However I'm hardly ever so engrossed in my daydreams that I can't instantly snap to attention if someone speaks to me.
