<p>Know any other films with a key character showing a considerable amount of day dreaming? Having a hard time coming up with an extensive list! Of course there are many, many films with short scenes of fantasies like American Beauty but I was interested in those where day dreaming formed a significant part of how the character is.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Secret Life of Walter Mitty</p>
<p>A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors</p>
<p>Heavenly Creatures</p>

<p></p> I could make a good actor with the amount of pretending I do.tag:wildminds.ning.com,2013-03-06:4661400:Topic:1290422013-03-06T06:36:10.018ZK. Smithhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/KSmith
<p>It feels SO good to know I'm not crazy! Anyway, my daydreaming has occurred for me since I was little. <br></br><br></br>I find movies/tv shows/books are my triggers.</p>

<p>When I was really small (like 6-7), my dad and I would watch James Bond movies. That's my earliest memory on MD. I place myself into a storyline (in this case James' sidekick), and act out scenes that are either in the movie or created by me. More often then not they are action-y or emotional scenes.

<p>When I was really small (like 6-7), my dad and I would watch James Bond movies. That's my earliest memory on MD. I place myself into a storyline (in this case James' sidekick), and act out scenes that are either in the movie or created by me. More often then not they are action-y or emotional scenes. On occasion I am myself with people I really know. I sometimes even dress up to "feel" the part. (That's so embarrassing, oh gosh).</p>

<p>Go forward 3 years and I'm pretending I'm in Harry Potter.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now, 14 years later and I still have the same issue. If I see something that cultivates me, I will be in my room from 15 minutes to HOURS pretending I am in a different world. The only thing that brings me back to reality is A. Realizing I'm pacing up and down my room and none of it is really happening, or B. I get bored. They ALWAYS involve me getting romantic with one of the characters too, hmmmmm. <br/><br/>My "fantasy life" even follows me into my actual dreams on occasion. <br/><br/>And it isn't continuous either. I can go months on end without daydreaming, then I'll be triggered and be in my room until the obsession dies down. OR, in times when I'm stressed. When I was getting ready to move out on my own I found the daydreams got REALLY bad.</p>
<p><br/>Right now I'm in the cycle where the daydreaming is dying down, and I'm returning to normal. Anyone have similar experiences?</p>
