<p>I do most of the things mentioned in the above commets: repeating dialogues until the wording sounds good to me, trying out slightly different versions of the same scene, apporaching it with more or less humour or having the characters react in all sorts of alternative ways that fit their previous storylines (if they have any), re-playing scenes that feel good, looking for songs to match the mood of my current scene or changing the scene to match a song... </p>

<p>Sequence? Not really. A couple very important scenes I'll repeat just because I enjoyed them a lot and I tend to learn new things that happened that I can use in the future/present daydream. Mostly I'm daydreaming new scenes. However, I do notice sometimes I will repeat a snippet of dialogue mid-daydream until the wording or delivery is to my liking then continue the scene.</p>

<p>Okay, yes. My daydreams revolve around media like books and music and such. Usually a certain scene goes with a certain song and each song has, at this point, roughly twenty scenes. In long car rides, I will literally start a song and get a scene ready, but then I'll decide to tweak it and start the song over and see how I like it like that. I repeat until the scene is "perfect" (knowing full well I'm going to have to do that process over again) and move on to the next song.<br/><br/></p>

<p>I never thought of it as "perfecting" but I do play the same scenario over and over with slight variations. Sometimes I come to a dead end and have to wait until something happens in real life that triggers the desire to go back into it. Sometimes in the dream, I'm witty, smart and vivacious; other times, I'm a victim; hurt or sick in some way and I'm being taken care of.</p>

<p>I re-play the most emotional and addictive scenes over and over - as long as they feel pleasant. When they aren't anymore, I usually switch to my another DD theme. I have several major themes ('theme' = a separate imaginary setting and characters for DDng), so when I gwt bored of one, I switch to anther one. Meaning I still can go back to the previous one, when I havent used it for much time. Sometimes new ones appear, sometimes the old ones start intersecting or having 'spin-offs'. And yep,…</p>

<p>As I understand it, repeating the same sequence is an essential element of this disorder. All of my stories last for years. The longest running is at least 6 years and counting.</p>
