<p>I also agree with what you're saying, Sky. It took me a while to make up my mind and actually go to school for music because of daydreaming. Even though I can play and daydream simultaneously, it leaves me with a feeling of guilt when I'm finished. I feel like I'm not giving it my all and it would be better if I used all of my mind for music instead of compromising my focus by storing hundreds of daydreams in my head.

<p>I also agree with what you're saying, Sky. It took me a while to make up my mind and actually go to school for music because of daydreaming. Even though I can play and daydream simultaneously, it leaves me with a feeling of guilt when I'm finished. I feel like I'm not giving it my all and it would be better if I used all of my mind for music instead of compromising my focus by storing hundreds of daydreams in my head. Sometimes I get so upset because I know I'm neglecting my talent in exchange for nothing, really. The daydreams have no tangible reward. The dreams have only served to jeopardize my real aspirations. Sometimes I get so angry at this vicious cycle that I punish myself by abstaining from music for months at a time. I just get mad and say 'to hell with it' sometimes. As I analyze myself more, I see that this back and forth behavior in all I do is a direct result of MD. I'm going back and forth between lives. So, it explains why I start things and then abandon them in real life. Then, shortly after abandoning an activity, I get back to it again. This makes it extremely hard, if not impossible, to be a successful musician.</p> Daydreaming is actually what…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2013-03-26:4661400:Comment:1327172013-03-26T05:20:15.622ZSky with Diamondshttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/SkyD
<p>Daydreaming is actually what kept me from becoming a musician. it was all i wanted to be as a kid. But i noticed it was much easier to fantasize instead of actually working hard and become what i was dreaming about. that was actually when i started to notice my daydreaming getting worse. I wanted so badly to be a muscian. that partucualr daydream took over my life. but for others, im sure excessivley daydreaming could help with any creative outlet. but for me unfortuantely, daydreamning is…</p>

I wanted so badly to be a muscian. that partucualr daydream took over my life. but for others, im sure excessivley daydreaming could help with any creative outlet. but for me unfortuantely, daydreamning is an excuse not to be creative. Internally, i feel i dont have to be. On the outside, i know i have so much potential to make art out of my life, but somehow get sucked in to whatever is easy. and for me, that has always been escapism.</p> Sometimes I do.

<p>Sometimes I do. I have to concentrate more on music I don't know. For music I wrote or a song I'm familiar with, I can easily daydream while playing. I daydream that my appearance is different. I see myself in a big beautiful dress, with a huge audience and getting positive feedback from my listeners. It can go pretty far, all while continuing to play.</p>

<p>May I add, it's been TOUGH. Music theory requires a ton of concentration. It's always been easier for me to play by ear, but theory is good to have for the long run.</p>

<p>I am a musician. I play the flute, but I don't usually DD while doing it, but then again, I don't play as often as I used to. I am also a singer ( a recording artist), and I do DD while I sing. Singing is a big part of my DD, but I also have certain songs that I will play from a CD while I DD, that usually goes along with any story line that I am in at the moment.</p>

<p>I am also a writer. I am a published poet and short story writer, and I am working on a book at the moment and have other stories lined up to write after this one is finished. Although they say that many songs come from poems, I have never written any songs. I have not developed that talent as of yet. ( I am almost 48) Maybe one day I will have a song come to me :) . </p>
<p>I have noticed that things that take me away from DDing, I will not do for great lengths of time. Especially if I am in a good story line and it is one I am using for a story or my book or something. It's like I am obsessed and must finish the story....LOL</p>
