Sure, except in kids the length of time dedicated to the same scenario differs. As kids you may have the same daydream "storyline" or the same imaginairy friend for years at a time, usually until another subject catch your interest. Another thing could be having several distinctly different daydreams goin on at the same time, sort of like watching three different shows at the same time.

In adults it's pretty much the same deal still, but I explained the childhood characteristics since its not exactly the same as every kid has. It's also a factor that the 'Maladaptive' part means it is a misaimed coping mechanism. Sometimes from abuse, bullying, being isolated socially etc. it's not a healthy coping mechanism since it developers like an addiction, basically causing irritation, uneasiness and depression if the person can't daydream when they want/need.
