While I had the dragon farm I had a few other minor daydreams, but they would usually not last for very long. The longest minor daydream besides my main dragon farm one was one where I was a pioneer. That lasted for about a month and a half.

Oh, and now I rarely act things out. Sometimes I would act things out and sometimes I would just sit there and imagine it all, but now I mainly just sit there. Maybe I should act things out more. It would be great exercise.

Raptos sounds a lot like my dragon, David. My first-ever MD paracosm--fancy word for "imaginary world" (I also had one when I was about 4 or 5 but it wasn't all MD-ish, just a normal childhood game)-- pretty much revolved around my adventures with David (and later his family and even an entire dragon breeding farm I owned), along with some imaginary siblings and an imaginary school I created for myself.

Raptos sounds a lot like my dragon, David. My first-ever MD paracosm--fancy word for "imaginary world" (I also had one when I was about 4 or 5 but it wasn't all MD-ish, just a normal childhood game)-- pretty much revolved around my adventures with David (and later his family and even an entire dragon breeding farm I owned), along with some imaginary siblings and an imaginary school I created for myself. I was homeschooled and an only child and lived in a weird place where there were no other houses. I think my MD started when I was 7. I created the school and siblings at age 8, but my adventures with David started at age 7. I've always had a crazy imagination, though, and I'm very creative. I do remember pacing at age 7. I wanted to imagine that I was in a motorcycle race, but for some reason I almost instinctively felt that I needed to pace up and down to focus on the daydream. The daydream was really exciting and I started sprinting without realizing it and crashed into the wall. That really scared me, so after that I stopped pacing and started acting things out with props (not necessarily toys, just anything I thought would make the daydream seem more real). After we moved when I was 9 my paracosm changed. I daydreamed that I was in charge of a large society of other kids who were all daydreamers like me (I used to think I was the only one in real life, but now I know differently). I had daydreams within my main daydream, which was pretty wild. That paracosm got boring, so I got rid of it. Now I daydream that I became the queen of a large intergalactic empire (it's a REALLY long story how that happened). In all of my daydreams I'm myself (except for my last paracosm--during the daydreams-within-daydreams I was usually another character). In my latest paracosm, I explain my other paracosms that I got rid of to explain my past in the daydream. The story now says that my first paracosm with the siblings and school and stuff was real, but when we moved the siblings couldn't come with because they were only foster kids and we were moving out of state, and I obviously couldn't bring the school or the farm with. The story also says I was part of a special scouting organization for children with mental issues, but I wasn't leader, it wasn't for MD specifically, and the reason I left was because it was only for kids 8th grade and under (and, conveniently, I ended that one as soon as I began high school). i've thought alot about how m…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2014-04-19:4661400:Comment:1794372014-04-19T17:25:20.776ZBeccahttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/Becca962
