My experience with daydreams through the years

[Nico Setiawan]

Hello, i'm a new member here thank you for accepting my membership. When I was a child, I loved to imagine myself in a situation that I always wanted, like new friends, new places, even lives in other country especially America. Have my own story like I live in America and then there is an alien attack, or sometimes I think myself as a racer who takes on blacklist racer like in Need For Speed Most Wanted...most of them are influenced by video game or movies.

I like to call it "war game" because mostly I made stupid gun sound when I was younger. Now, I'm in my 20, and I feel that my daydream is getting stronger. Maybe because I havent done anything about it because I feel okay. The daydream are getting....better in detail. I put a movie level detail in my daydreams. I saw so modify some bad movies to suit my imagination and sometimes put myself in these movies. I occasionally think myself as a Jedi who fought Darth Vader in a new complete different story that doesn't affect the current movies, but still canon in my mind. Still my voice sometimes talk, by making silly effects like gun shots, speaking the dialogue and even sword sound (cling and clang). This daydreams occur especially after I played a video game or watched a movie.

Even when I walk through the hall, my mind picture myself as character walking through the hall with style or even with a theme song.

When I got caught doing something like this, I quickly smile and do something else.

Year after year passed and I realise these are just happening in my mind. I'm getting older and I must control this, before its too late. I know, this wont happen instantly, because it is very hard to eradicate habit like this that has happened for 20 years. So guys that is my experience...and also if any of you can provide a solution to this problem, you can join this discussion
