"Yup, balance is the goal. You need to welcome daydreaming back into your life eventually. It's not because it's the curse of MD or something like that. Daydreaming is natural. Only 2-4% of people don't have the ability to visualize…"

Why and how to start working on MD to become more creative
Posted on June 11, 2024 at 6:00pm 0 Comments 3 Likes
It's impossible to make a blanket definition of creativity for every individual out there. But if I had the nerve, which I boast, then it would definitely include the word 'exposure'.
Some people claim that MD enables them to be more creative. I held that opinion once, too. The idea goes that only the state of being triggered into excessive daydreaming provides a suitable environment for your imagination to take shape.
How?
Abstract concepts and desires are lying at the…

I was thinking about one of the most recurring topics among MDers, both former and those who still suffer from it. I'm talking about the theme of being stuck too far behind in time, or moving so slowly that there is seemingly no hope to catch up with the rest of the world.
I'm no stranger to that feeling as a former MDer. However, now that I can look back at my past ordeals and judge it from a refreshed perspective, I believe that the 'rest-of-the-world-to-do-catching-up-with' was…

For some reason today the universe bestowed a very philosophical mood on me, so I obeyed and decided to finally write an unedited blog post about MD. Like, I didn't even try to think about the logical structure or else. Just got an urge to shoot something out there.
Anyway, I divided the challenges into 3 types. This is rather arbitrary by the way, i.e. based on my observations more than the research papers. I've read them, too, but I wasn't religiously referring to them when listing…

My excessively curious brain makes me learn about important things in the most unexpected ways possible.
This time, it happened while playing Ace Attorney. Happened twice, actually, but only once relevant to this post.
Not long after starting the game, I was getting YouTube recommendations about it. Mostly fandom things. Mostly severe brain damage inducing. Especially headcanon stuff. I hate the latter everywhere, not just in Ace Attorney.
Finally, I've got one that digs…
