Greeting to all wild Minds: 

Are there techniques that you use to successfully keep your daydreaming under control?

Thanks

Before I start, I would like to blatantly say that the things I will put here are things that help me. I am not instructing people on how to control their daydreams, although what helps me could possibly help you. I am not writing this to let people know what will help them. Everyone has their own way of dealing with it, but I know it's hard to begin thinking about how to stop them or just control how often you daydream, so hopefully this post…

My latest attempt at a cure or treatment is mind control. Heard a man talking about it on the radio show Coast to Coast AM. I ordered one of the programs called Serenity. It has shadowed subliminal messages or affirmations in with oceans sounds. You can choose nature sounds or music. The sound of waves is soothing to me anyway. The company is called InnerTalk, I liked them because they provide a list of all the messages in the recording, so you don't wonder what they are really telling you…

Someone mentioned in one of the discussion threads that he/she is staying away from music, and sticking to audio books. I decided to try and it has helped alot! It's like I end up visualizing the dialogue/ scenes as they are read out.  I think my need to MDD is more of a need to use my imagination.

I'm really into french and Russian literature. So I get to control my MDD and get to hear literature. Pure gold!

Do try it.

Life is a structured chaos.

We live in a world which tends to believe that everything can be controlled. When you dig deep into the details though, you realize that there is hardly anything that you can control.

Yes, you can control the channels you want to watch at the TV or your room temperature, but when it comes to life, control starts to fade out.

The food and the water is poisoned, the sun causes cancer, the air is polluted, the car drivers are…

Okaay so a while back I started painting again (I hadn't painted for about a year before that 'cause I painted only for art then didn't do art) and so I'm part way through my fourth picture (though I had to start again 'cause I screwed up badly from the beginning) and I did notice, even in year 11, (the last year I did art) that I didn't really fantasize while painting, only regular thinking, and maybe a bit of talking-in-my-head to a character* and today, I got up late and spent a total of…

Being able to guide your DD, control the scenes. Is it possible? and to what extent. This is what we are talking about on the radio show today, 3pm eastern time. 

So,  I posted a discussion, couldn't find a way to make a poll, so I just asked the question, to what extent can you control your DDs? I would love to get some responses and see what other people feel about this. 

My Poll;…

Like most people on the forum, I've only realised there was a name for what I did whilst researching the subject online.  I've had MDD since I was a tiny child, in fact I can't remember ever not doing this.  I also have Social Anxiety and Avoidant Personality Disorder.  I've had the last two disorders confirmed by mental health professionals, but I've never mentioned the DD to anyone, even my psychologist - I honestly just felt it was too embarrassing and 'crazy'. 

Although I…

This is verendus (awesome). Not only did those two little cherry bombs change my perspective of reality last summer, but they have led to a series of psychological changes to how I think.

First, it was that brief moment of clarity that I never though I would get back. The moment of what life was like without the constant emotion-draining daydreaming that swallowed my grasp of reality and fed me only a line of my own perfection. It was a staggeringly short moment of fresh air…
