Is there a relation between the content of your DDs and the age you started DDing? - Wild Minds network2024-03-29T09:00:33Zhttps://wildminds.ning.com/forum/topics/is-there-a-relation-between-the-content-of-your-dds-and-the-age?feed=yes&xn_auth=noInteresting topic!

<p>Interesting topic! My daydreams have certainly changed a lot since I was younger. When I was a kid, I daydreamed about Disney characters with no plot. When I hit middle school, I daydreamed about anime characters in their crazy soap opera world with a little more plot. Now my daydreams are about real-looking people, though the soap opera element is still there---the romance is stronger and the issues are more mature.</p>

<p>I think the 'real life' daydreams may be something which everyone (i.e. both MDers and 'normal' people) do, although MDers might do it more often and in a more grandiose way than average.</p>
<p>I think the fantastical stuff more depends on the MDers needs than their age (based purely on the fact that people who started at the same age often MD about completely different things now), and of course if you 'need' to start MDing at a certain age there are certain things you're more likely to…</p>

If you still MD about the fantastical stuff you did when you were young, then maybe at least part of the reason you began to do it remains, while people whose daydreams have changed now have different needs</p> My character aged with me.

<p>My character aged with me.</p>
<p>And I would DD about time travel and heroes and superpowers....Alternate dimensions and travel to other planets.</p>
<p>I would DD plots and schemes and adventures that made no sense in the real world...and thats what kept me hooked.</p>
<p>I was not the type to DD myself into an intense romantic relationship. There were relationships along the way, but they were not the main focus.</p>

<p>I think most of us started DD'ing as a child. I think the research confirms this? There are some wonderful links that discuss this. But it is an interesting question.</p>

<p>Well, I have always daydreamed heavily and it of course started when I was a young child, but they have always been very realistic. Even as a child, I never really dreamed of being in a different world or having powers or anything like. Well, maybe a few times but the dreams are very rare and short lived. Most of mind are, like I said, realistic where I visualize my ideal self with my ideal friends living my ideal life and that's how they've always been for as far back as I can remember.…</p>

When I was yound I'd daydream about being this super strong girl with lots a friends. i thik it was because I've always felt unable to do stuff and I had barely any friends.</p>

<p>I started daydreaming when I was eleven, almost twelve. Now I'm fourteen, and my daydreams have <em>definitely</em> evolved over time. I don't remember most of my older daydreams, but the ones I do remember were...different but still very sad, as they are now. I think my older daydreams were sad in different ways though, like illness or death. Now they're sad in ways such as violence and crime and torture and being forced into things.

My older daydreams also had more happiness and love than my current ones. I don't really think my characters aged, besides the me in my daydreams. The me in my daydreams has always been a few year older than the real me. When I was twelve, she was fifteen. When I was thirteen, she was sixteen.

<p>As a child, my daydreams were pretty impossible, and in some ways they've become more realistic, but they used to be really um.. They were overboard violent. Yes I was a really young child then, good childhood and all so I don't know why.</p>
<p>But maybe the impossible stuff is more likely to stick around? Like, I had an impossible character and although she's changed over the years, she's still with me and not quiiiiite as impossible as she once was.</p>

<p>When I was really little, I daydreamed about fairy tale type stuff, but when I was 9, I built a character who was an ideal version of myself and an ideal world where she was loved and supported. I've had that same character and same world since then. She's grown right along with me and exists in real time. She's still close to the same people she was close to back then and has met many more wonderful people. </p>
