I just read a post by Emilia, "Two different identities" and the comments on it, and then, rather than type a reply, I ended up 'talking to DD' (basically talking to one of my characters) and, rather than type anything up (I may do after this post though) I was just explaining how I'm a bit like this myself, and details of it, and exactly why, including the fact that I talk to my DD characters (it's kinda weird, actually, mentioning DD to a DD character and basically telling them about…

For some unexplicable reason, I've always had a fear of asking people to "hang out" with me. You know when there's someone you find fun or interesting, and would like to get to know more and in my case maybe even DD about them, but you aren't at the point in a relationship where you're actually considered "friends"?

Yeah, I assume this is when the majority of people will pop a "we should hang out sometime!" or "what are you doing tonight?" out of habit, without really thinking much of…

Hello I`m Sara. Most of you probably dont know me because Im new and I do not post blogs but this is something I really wanted  to share. 

This girl that I know, more like an acquiescence , friend of a friend. You know what I mean. Well she`s gunna move so a lot of people from my grade made a little video for her. So we all showed the video after school to her.  I wasn`t a part of the video cause I was absent in school. But I wanted to go because I felt obligated to since the…

Today, we saw The Avengers. Came home and my six year old daughter began pacing the house, walked over to a chair, pushed off, turned around and walked the other way. All while in her own little world smiling.

She had asked if Thor was in the movie soon after it started, and it seems like she may have a…

So... Does anyone else have it where you're in the middle of a day dream, then another daydream interrupts it??

from what i know i think i lot of us, in our daydreams, have

-main characters (whether you imagine them or pretend you actually are them)

-other characters

-a plot/storyline in your daydreams (an ongoing one, or one that is frequently changed)

all of which are inspired/influenced/triggered from time to time by things like movies, tv programmes and stuff, is that right?

well i was wondering, has anyone ever kept up the same characters and same sort of…

Lately I've been dd a lot. And I do this thing where I push everyone in real life away. And I've done so to my best friend and I just don't even know what to say to her anymore. It's like something happened and I don't know her anymore.

Nothing changed. 

But I can't feel our friendship.

This always happens. Between myself and everyone I know. I know it's because I retreat into my head and then reality just doesn't compare. But I'm at a loss. 

A loss of words and…

     That's what I noticed I tend to tell myself when I'm daydreaming. "Ahh, I can stop if I want, I just don't want to right now." "I'll start tomorrow!" But I can't and I know I can't. It's like I can't control myself. I can't trust myself to not daydream. I don't know how to discipline myself. I procrastinate. & this isn't something I need to put off. I wanna be a little better for next school year. I swore this summer I'd do better but I feel I'm doing worse. That's what's really…

Hey everyone! 

Thought I'd make another blog post that goes into more detail about myself and my MD.

So here we go (:

I've been day dreaming for as long as I can remember. Most of my childhood memories are actually pretend memories. Incredibly real to me but not to anyone else because they all happened in my head. 

Along with the day dreaming I'm a pacer. 

I must have done it all the time without really realizing that it was "weird"

I…

I just joined this site and just discovered "maladaptive daydreaming"

For the longest time (ok I'm only 16 but still) I thought I was alone, a freak. 

I'd never heard of anyone else spending hours pacing back and forth while weaving intricate daydreams and alternate realities, personas, and friends. 

The fact that I'm not the only person who does this made me burst into tears. 

I just want people who understand to talk to. 

I want to not keep it as a…

So simple the expectation

I realize as it is annulled

The dream came true, I tell myself

And focus on believing it.

After years of longing, even craving for the acceptance

The truth it now becomes

Not quite the taste I wanted

But it’s something, a relief.

If the notes are audible, that is.

Otherwise I’ll meander along the same winding road, with the lake now in sight, as I had always known it would come…

Hi everyone!  I just found this site, and I have to say, like I've seen a lot of others say, I'm so relieved to have found other people like me!  I just thought I'd share a little bit about myself and my history with MD.

I have been daydreaming for as long as I can remember...at least since the age of four or five and probably longer, though I don't remember that obviously.  My older sister and I were very creative as children, and when we played, it was never like other kids…

Tomorrow, I have to be at school by about 7am because my outdoor ed class is going tramping in mount Somers for 3 days/2 nights. I wonder how much I will DD, and how much I will converse with my group, and if I'll end up making my DD visible while walking (you know, facial movements and the like) or if I'll manage to keep it hidden because most of the class doesn't know I have this.... In fact, out of my group of 3+me=4, I think only one knows. She was shocked when I told her about…

i always read about how music triggers people to dd

and i first read that i was like " i dont do that"

but i realized that i do. its weird because ever since i can remember, one or a few of my characters are singers or in a band 

A matter of fact, one of my first daydreams that i can remember was daydreaming the powerpuff girls in a band singer skater boy by avril lavigne everytime that song came on the radio.........

thats embarrassing, but ye

alot of my characters now…

Attention gotten? FABULOUS!

Now what? o_O

Well frankly I've been sad and anxious and when I say anxious I mean: HOLY CRAP IM ANXIOUS!

Something I'm frustrated…

Thank God that summer is here and school is over. I was really worried that dd would ruin me like my freshman and half my soph year. I was dd so much back then I did really bad at school. This time though I didnt let it mess meup. I am proud to ay I got A's and B's :)

I joined track and have been hanging out with friends. I am glad to have them in my life they are amazing and have helped keep dd far from me. Its weird…

It's very difficult to write own dreams on paper because my dreams are beyond the limits ,I wanna share it with people but scare that they will laugh on me.It's too crazy like a child after watching a T.V program or reading a novel start dreaming about it.In dreams i always a powerful ,dexter and industrious kind of person.I sometimes in dreams be a fairy or a T.v or sports celebrity.It's too childish but i think this is my world of fantasies which can never be snaches away by someone or…

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Excert from Pink Floyd -comfortably numb
