<p>When I really try to get into my character's skin, I find myself mirroring his facial expressions, following his eyes, and imitating small gestures. Like if he squints his eyes, moves a strand of hair behind his ear, or scratches his neck, I catch myself doing the same thing.</p>

<p>It'd be bad if someone ever saw me looking angry while I'm daydreaming. They'd probably think, "Wow, that girl has an attitude" or "She must be having a bad day." But nope. My imaginary characters are…</p>

<p>It'd be bad if someone ever saw me looking angry while I'm daydreaming. They'd probably think, "Wow, that girl has an attitude" or "She must be having a bad day." But nope. My imaginary characters are just getting in a fight, lol. Oh how weird that sounds. Well, I don't usually let my daydreams get that intense in public. =P When I'm alone, I don't really care how I'm looking at the ceiling. xD</p> I like to pace, and I think t…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2011-09-20:4661400:Comment:544132011-09-20T01:21:44.844Zroxannehttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/sallyann
I like to pace, and I think that's quite common. Actually any movement is great - riding in anything, an exercycle, treadmill (both of which really help me keep to an exercise regime; I used to put a picture of my current "crush" in front of me and exercycle for miles & miles. I was really thin then, might try it again.) But it seems like any kind of movement is common - must stimulate the part of brain involved with DD'ing.

<p>Yes, I sometimes (okay quite often) find myself gesturing with my hands. I try to only get into those kind of day dreams when I am all alone. I sometimes get paranoid and have to check my surroundings, look out the window to make sure no one is going to come barging in on my dream. I also get stuck filling in little details like you were describing too.

<p>Yes, I sometimes (okay quite often) find myself gesturing with my hands. I try to only get into those kind of day dreams when I am all alone.

I also get stuck filling in little details like you were describing too. Like I was imagining a catered lunch and found myself worried over what the small local restraunt I'd dreamed up might have available for a catered lunch. Why would that even matter? No idea but it stops the whole dd when I get to that part. Maybe it helps the realism of the experience. They say it's all in the details.

I don't, but according to Cynthia (who did a study on it), most people enact some sort of movement when they daydream.

My name is Jason by the way. I'm just a really bad typist. I'll figure out how to fix that sooner or later.
