• Present in Body, Elsewhere in Thought

  • Why is it so hard for some of us MDers to tell people our daydreams?

Last year, I gave him a written outline of my heroine's life. Recently, I've talked to him about less cringeworthy parts of the daydream. And…

  • 25 Years in a Daydream: The Cost of Silence

    This may sound obvious to many daydreamers. I started MD when I was 12, and wish that I talked with my parents about my daydreaming disorder immediately when it started to make me laugh for nothing around everyone.

    I am a maladaptive daydreamer from Asia. 23 years of age. I believe I have cured a decent chunk of my MD as I have felt being in the here and now many times as my alive and truer self has come to the fore. I woke up in 2024. My MD was about not being who I truly was due to the atmosphere not being…
