Good and bad. Good if you can channel all the energy into something creative, most obvious outlet is writing.
Even when you succeed in channeling "it", there still is bad, life will not be without problems. I would recommend reading Gods in Every Man by Jean Shinoda Bolen to understand problems of being inward-minded, having the god Hades as a primary archetype.
I agree 100%. I think that it's one of my best qualities and worst qualities. I'm smarter and more creative because of it and it really helps me get perspective on things and come up with new ideas. However, I can get shut in my head very easily and I miss so much reality that it's no good. People sometimes think that I don't care about things because I'm so distracted all the time. If I work at a job that requires speed and organization that's when my daydreaming really takes a toll. It's definitely an addiction of mine but I also need it to some extent. It's like being addicted to food. I can't kick my addiction altogether because that's not healthy, so I have to be extremely disciplined about it... only there's no long walk to the refrigerator to make me second guess myself. Before I know it, I'm there.
