Hello I am new here. My story of how I started daydreaming.

[Chris Parker]

Well I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Chris and I am a 17 year old guy. I believe that I have maladaptive daydreaming. Well I almost know for sure I have it. Now I have been daydreaming since 2002. I remember it was around the time I started pre school and I remember seeing the first spiderman movie back then as well. I started to daydreaming shortly after that moving because I guess I wanted to be Spiderman. Then around late 2004ish to early 2005 those daydreams turned into being a Dragonball Z character. I wanted to be a Super Saiyan and I remember that was the first time my daydreams were like a story more than just a bunch of random stuff. I had storylines and even characters. Personalities as well. Which is pretty detailed for a 7 year old. That daydream stayed around until middle school. Though I believe that daydreaming started to really hold me back because I have always had a hard time socializing with people. I do hope this site turns out to be a good experience for me though. Nice to meet everyone!

Hello and welcome!

A lot of maladaptive daydreamers play with characters and storylines from popular film and television - you're definitely not alone. Glad you found this place. :)

Welcome! I'm new and just discovering this place myself too, but I confirm that it is not uncommon to use storylines or characters from fiction. My first "plots" came from Star Wars. :)

Hey!

Do you have one storyline? or just have a new one everyday?

[Chris Parker]

It varies a bit, but sometimes new things get added to a story I guess.  Though some days I just make up something completely different.

I often take the themes from real life situations. For example A recent terrorist situation, Who was the one with a cool head that eventually talked the terrorists around Me  I am always the "good guy"
