    I'm sharing a message from Prof. Eli Somer and his team:

    Join a groundbreaking new study from Professor Eli Somer’s research team


    Are you ready to turn your personal experience with Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD) into scientific progress?  
    We’re inviting members of the MD community to take part in exciting new research conducted in Eli Somer’s lab.
    This study, approved by the University’s Ethics Committee, explores how childhood family experiences, attachment styles, and personality traits may be linked to MD. 
    We need your voice in understanding this complex and often misunderstood condition.

    Why Your Participation Matters

    Thanks to the heartfelt involvement of MDers like you, our research has helped move MD from obscurity to growing scientific recognition. Together, we’ve laid the groundwork for awareness, validation, and future treatment. This is your chance to continue that journey—by contributing to what could be one of the most illuminating studies on MD to date.

    What’s Involved?

    Just a few online questionnaires—completely confidential, easy to complete. You’ll be asked about your daydreaming, your relationships, and your early life experiences.

    Be Part of the Change

    Whether you’re passionate about advancing science or simply want to help others who share your experience, your input is invaluable.

    You’ll find all the details, the consent form, and the survey link here:
    Together, we can bring MD out of the shadows and into the light of scientific understanding.  
    With gratitude,  

    Shir Shapira Torem, Dr. Oren Herscu, and Prof. Eli Somer

    PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING

     

    Do you experience excessive daydreaming?

    Do you make great efforts to hide your imaginary life?

    Do you feel misunderstood and unable to explain what's happening to you?

    Excessive daydreaming has been an unknown topic until recently. But the future is encouraging, and your collaboration is crucial.

    If you suffer from excessive daydreaming and you are of legal age, you may contribute to a better understanding of what you experience every day by participating in this research project at the University of Murcia.

    The survey is completely anonymous, takes only about 15 minutes, and you'll be shedding light on this condition and its treatment. If you're interested, please click the link below.
