<p>This happens to me all the time. I think of a really good plot that I love, and just play it over and over again. All throughout the day, and when I am falling asleep. After a few days, I get bored of it and move on.</p>
<p>Also, I associate some daydreams with certain songs, like the characters can relate to that song, and whenever I hear that song, I replay the daydream. That is really annoying, because I have done that with at least 100 songs.</p>

<p>And Zoe, Eretaia, and Adriana S. the same thing happens to me. The scene won't come out right, no matter what I do. Especially when I have two characters standing next to each other. They are supposed to be the same height, but one keeps on growing while the other shrinks so that one is half the height of the other and I can never fix it. It is very annoying.</p> Yes, so much.

<p>Yes, so much. They are triggered mainly by certain songs and the repetitive daydreams are, sometimes, in an animated music video form to go with the song. Then I put the song on repeat again, and again, and again. But larger daydreams are usually on repeat again, especially when an external idea inspires me and I suddenly start reviewing (re-inventing) the daydream all over again. </p>

<p>Yes, this happens to me many times. At certain times, I have a favorite daydream and it can be triggered by a tv show that I watched, a story that I read, a song that I listened to, etc. When it is triggered, the daydream starts repeating itself over and over again in my head. The favorite daydream repeats itself until I invent a better daydream to replace it. And the whole cycle starts all over again.</p>

<p>If I hear certain songs that have previously been connected to a particularly intense DD, I immediately replay that scenario in my head. Once the association is there, I can't seem to shake it. </p>

<p>Oh, I assure you, our subconscious knows the reason goddamn well. It plays an enormous part in constructing a daydream and we're far less in control than we imagine. In fact, it's similar to a real dream: it's not our conscious self that's constructing our dreams, we don't even control what happens there and we're merely <em>observers</em> in a plot woven by our subconscious.

<p>Oh, I assure you, our subconscious knows the reason goddamn well. It plays an enormous part in constructing a daydream and we're far less in control than we imagine. In fact, it's similar to a real dream: it's not our conscious self that's constructing our dreams, we don't even control what happens there and we're merely <em>observers</em> in a plot woven by our subconscious. Daydreams, naturally, are far weaker than real dreams; we have control, but our subconscious is <em>still</em> strong and decides some things for itself which we can't influence. It's a fantasy after all - so irrational yet, deep inside, so logical. Some of my daydreams are quite absurd and I don't understand them, I don't understand their purpose at all - but come on, is it possible that such a compulsive fantasy can be irrational? No, no way. I'm convinced that some parts of my daydreams are purely a product of some subconscious conflict I never truly addressed although at this point, it seems unrelated and irrational. <br/> <br/> <cite>Adriana S said:</cite></p>

<p>For me, it's never just one song, I have playlists. I'll listen to a playlist on repeat and repeat my dd. I find that I actually create better dds in silence and then add music to them.</p>

<p>Zoe, I know the feeling. I never felt in control either. Metaphorically speaking, I feel like <em>I myself</em> and my <em>mind</em> are two different entities. It's my mind that weaves the story, and sometimes even though I want to change some details, I just can't.</p>
