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

    For years, I've been working on writing my daydream down, in the hopes that getting it out onto the page would eventually help me tell it to my therapist. 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 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.
