I've been a daydreamer since early childhood. I'ld say it's maladaptive in that, at times, I'm not as present to what's going on around me and what I'm in the middle of doing, as I ought to be. This was quite a problem during the first few years that I was driving a car.

But I find ways to compensate. Like I always set a timer, if I've got something heating up on the stove. In general though, I've always liked having an inner world of my own that I can retreat to.
