A theoretical review examines the links between altered states of consciousness and creativity, focusing on a spectrum of attentional states including hypnagogia, mind wandering, mindfulness, and flow. These states occur during activities like sports, music, painting, writing, video games, theater, meditation, and boredom, as well as in professional fields such as education. The authors argue that researchers often isolate single states (e.g., mind wandering) without considering their relationships with others or with intention, levels of consciousness, and changes in perception of time, self, and space.
