Work can lead to daydreaming. Based on narratives, stories and autobiographies from workers, three types of daydreams are characterized in this article : the first is an evasion, with images inspired by nature for those workers still in contact with the outdoors ; the second draws from contemplating the material being used and the dexterity entailed in the movements that enable the worker to temporarilly suspend concentration on the tasks being carried out ; the source of the third type of daydreaming comes about due to the repetitive nature of the work being done as well as the sleep-inducing numbness it brings about. Three types of daydreaming that express how the technical side of their working conditions are subjectively dealt with by workers.
