<p>The only real people that I think about when I daydream are my direct family. I like to contemplate how they would feel about me going on whatever adventure I'm going on. Sometimes they're adventuring with me, but other times they're back at home.</p>

<p>I adopt most of the appearances of my characters from fiction or artwork. Oddly enough, I can't stand to imagine a real-life person naked or in a sexual situation. While imagining sex with an attractive person may turn most people on, it's a cold turn-off for me because it makes me feel so awkward. I feel irrationally ashamed. I'm not sure whether this is a symptom of sexual repression or the cause of it--all I know is that I'd rather imagine an intimate relationship with a fictional person than a real one, to the point that it interferes with actually dating.</p> all the time. i don't feel aw…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2011-09-20:4661400:Comment:546072011-09-20T06:00:02.800Zashillahttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/alisha

<p>When I was a kid I used to DD about characters on cartoons and tv shows. ( Don't laugh!) like spiderman or the x-men, or captain picard and lt rieker from star trek next generation. i was always saving the day or impressing them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that i'm older I fantasize about situations with people that it is important for me to please or look good in front of. These days I fantasize about this guy. We like or used to like each other but for some reason the relationsip never took off.…</p>

<p>Now that i'm older I fantasize about situations with people that it is important for me to please or look good in front of. These days I fantasize about this guy. We like or used to like each other but for some reason the relationsip never took off. I'll keep reliving a scenario that we may have had in real life ( where I felt good with him) and play it over and over and change it up a little here and there. Those DDs are usually romantic not sexual. </p>

<p>I'm surprised that people say they feel shame fantasing about ppl. I feel NO shame about that. lol. As long as they dont find out! <---my concern tho is that the fantasies will make me feel more attached to/infatuation with someone that I actually do feel.</p> You are just sort of borrowin…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2011-09-17:4661400:Comment:535022011-09-17T00:11:46.955Zroxannehttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/sallyann
You are just sort of borrowing her look to create an entirely different character; like a director would take an actress for that purpose. The actress isn't the character; she just looks like her. I wouldn't feel bad; you've done nothing wrong. But I understand how it would be somewhat uncomfortable to see her.

last year, i was hanging out with my friend and we saw this girl who was friends with my friend too. we stopped and talked to her for maybe 20 minutes and afterwards, i decided to put her into my daydream. like, i didn't really know enough about her to actually put HER into my daydream, but i thought that her appearance was interesting so i made up a character with her name that looks just like her, except i came up with the personality. now, that girl goes to my school and i can't look her in…

Recently I did have a DD about a real person. They were added to my ongoing DD as a sort of new character. It left me feeling confused and unfamiliar with the real person.

There's something about celebrities (or fictional characters) that seems more exciting. The very fact that they are divorced from reality adds much allure, for me. I've tried on real life people for size, but it doesn't go anywhere. I agree with Skylar there.
