Hi.

 

I've been having pretty stressful daydreams lately. They've been all full of angst and drama like some sort of teen movie. I've been sort of wound up like a spring because everything I DD about is so emotional, I'm worn out. I don't know why I've been doing this. I've noticed I'm smoking more, it takes me longer to go to sleep and my face always looks like I'm worrying about some epic problem that I don't actually have.

 

My life is fine at the minute. I can't complain about anything. My DDs aren't about bad memories or anything like that, instead it feels like I'm trying to write the most successful American drama ever, with plot twists and turns and inspired one liners and brilliant characters, all in my head.

 

It doesn't help that I've just started watching season 1 of the West Wing (was too young to watch it when it first started).

 

Anyway, I just wanted to tell someone. It's getting to me. I wish my DDs were just happy and relaxed but I can't help it.

I know exactly that feeling! I never actually thought about it that way (how laila and jennifer explained it) but it makes sense now >.<.

I think you're right. It must be because nothing is really going on for me at the moment (drama wise) everything is nice and normal, with a routine.

 

I DD fight scenes too, or heating arguments. I don't move much but my heart rate increases. I think sometimes I kick my legs. :)

Jennifer explained it even better, haha. I grew up in a protective bubble and have yet to experience major harm. I've always lived 2 hours away from my family, just far enough not to see any drama. But from the moment I started daydreaming characters/stories at age 12, it was drama...drama...drama. In one of my first stories, my character fell from an airplane and ending up in a coma. Once she miraculously recovered, her boyfriend got angry at her, and she immediately got hit by a car when crossing the street. It was ridiculous, but I still love that stuff even now. It's like I can't wait for another exciting day of my characters getting hurt since my life has been way too quiet. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I would never wish harm on real people. Real tragedies sadden me. I'm just addicted to my fantasy drama. It feels safe since my characters are completely made up.

 

And same here, Jennifer. But I'll also pretend to punch and slap someone just to get into my character. Nothing forceful though, as slapping could be the simple wave of my hand. Afterwards, I'll hold my cheek like I was the victim, lol. I have to prop myself up on my elbows or completely sit up when things get intense. It's hard to daydream fights in a relaxing/comfortable position. xD

I know exactly how you feel. I daydream soap operas all the time. Sometimes it gets overwhelming, and I actually feel frustrated at the things I make my characters do! It sounds really silly when you think about it. Why should I be getting upset over imaginary characters? Not only that, I have 100% control over what they do, so why do I pick things that make me upset? I think the obvious answer is that I'm just addicted to drama. Daydreaming it is just as entertaining as watching a drama movie, if not, more. Maybe it's the same way for you. When you think about it that way, it makes more sense, but it's good to take breaks. I'm taking a break right now, daydreaming something a bit more romancy/fluffy~ =D
