Don't worry your not alone. I dream of very disturbing daydreams of my charictors getting tortured emotionally and physically and killings and awfully things. This happens quiet regularly with my dd. and normally I am helpless in it to stop these things.<br />

But I don't watch much television. I watch the occasional film but not scary ones I like happy feet an I don't drink or do any drugs at all. I read an occasional book but not much lol but I watch news and I notice that if u dd even if u do cut…

But I don't watch much television. I watch the occasional film but not scary ones I like happy feet an I don't drink or do any drugs at all. I read an occasional book but not much lol but I watch news and I notice that if u dd even if u do cut out all the triggers you still will find a place and way to dd. as all the material is actually in your head. Or if you hear something someone says that can be used as a trigger.<br />

Can't help you in changing ur dd genre as I do this too a lot but I can tell u that ur not alone. My main trigger is music, it…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2012-05-16:4661400:Comment:888822012-05-16T23:59:45.996ZLiza Maria Medinahttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/LizaMariaMedina
<p>My main trigger is music, it doesn't have to be any one song and I get especially inspired by instrumental compositions. I will dream of something romantic if I listen to a love song or something fun if it's an upbeat pop song. Sometimes my fantasy has nothing to do with the music and it's just there in the background creating a nice haze for the trance I"m in. I also rock back and forth a lot so the rhythm of the music will change how hard or how long I rock. I also get triggered by books,…</p>

I also rock back and forth a lot so the rhythm of the music will change how hard or how long I rock. I also get triggered by books, movies and tv shows as well as some video games that are highly interactive like Mass Effect. I also get triggered by inactivity like riding in a car for a long period of time with nothing to do but stare out the window. I pretty much dream all day but it doesn' t get really bad unless I listen to music. </p>
<p>I'm very new to this so I can't really give any advice, I sure wish I could but I've had it pretty bad for as long as I an remember and all I can say is to stay away from triggers. At least stay away for as long as you can in a day and then maybe go ahead at night before bed. I read a lot before I go to sleep and this is a good time to let your mind wander. </p> You aren't alone when it come…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2012-05-15:4661400:Comment:888432012-05-15T23:56:58.793ZIvy C.https://wildminds.ning.com/profile/IvyC
<p>You aren't alone when it comes to having 'bad' daydreams. I daydream about the worst things imaginable and I definitively enjoy doing it. There are times I feel like crying for my main character, but I try not to let it get to that point, especially in a public setting. But even if I cry about it, it doesn't make me want to stop, but actually go on daydreaming.

<p>You aren't alone when it comes to having 'bad' daydreams. I daydream about the worst things imaginable and I definitively enjoy doing it. There are times I feel like crying for my main character, but I try not to let it get to that point, especially in a public setting. But even if I cry about it, it doesn't make me want to stop, but actually go on daydreaming. I am unsure what my trigger is when it comes to daydreams like this, but I usually think about them right before I fall asleep or when I am very calm. It's kind of unnerving because this is what relaxes me, seeing my main characters in a rough spot. 'Action packed' daydreams happen when I'm in a lot of motion, listening to fast music (like dubstep or something of that nature), or am watching something extremely exciting on tv.</p>

<p>As for your triggers, I don't think you should be afraid of what triggers your daydreams. I believe that you should be aware of what your triggers are and remind yourself that your 'real' reality is here in the real world and not your daydream. When in public and start daydreaming, I think to myself the word reality and in a matter of seconds I'm back in the real world. Your daydreaming can affect your reality only if you are having trouble 'adapting' to the world around you. You can be super famous in your dreams, but if you get back to reality and realize that all of those nice things you once had isn't really there, it may make you feel upset and depressed. I've been at that stage in my life, when I realized my life in my dreams was just made up, but I learned to pick myself up and start working on a better reality for myself. If you find that your dreams interfere with your social life, don't do it while your socializing. It's very simple. Daydream when you are by yourself and without work to do, but still make time to go out and have fun in your real world, too.</p>
