Anyone carry on multiple story lines at the same time?

Where something triggers an idea for a new daydream but the one you were in isn't at an ending. I had this happen today and now seem to be bouncing back and forth but it is stressing me out. Like someone changing the TV channel while you're trying to watch a show.

I have three separate stories going on right now.  One has been going on for about 10-11 years (I'm not exactly how long it's been going at this point, but this is my main story).  Another one has been going on for about 15 years, and a new one, kind-of tied to the 15 year story line, has been going on for about two years.  I also have new story lines occur intermittently, but those rarely ever amount to anything past a few weeks.

I don't know if it's a lot of storylines or one big story. I give my charcters backgrounds and try to tell their story seperatly but then I merged them by like making them friends or they might be like living in the neighborhood or somthing . But I do try to give them their own spare time .

Yes! I do this a lot. A few months ago, I didn't have twins from a former boyfriend in my "other" world but now I do. I don't really know how it happened? And I have multiple worlds that I visit from time to time but I have a main one (which is my favorite because it really is wonderful.) I've been with different people, I have different kids, I've had different professions, I've had different looks, etc.

Sometimes when I'm extremely stressed out, it changes often without my control and it drives me crazy. It's like I'm trying to go into my main world and I keep going into these other little worlds. It's odd. I don't know if anyone else does that.

I have the same experience with the effect of stress!  It makes me lose focus on my main story line.

Stress really affects my real life too and I think when things affect my real life, it affects my "other" lives too. Is it the same for you?

That is quite common for me. In fact, I can't remember dreaming about a single story line.
