Can any of you listen to music in places where you can't pace and daydream? I absolutely cannot. I can DD on trains, buses and cars as long as I have my music but if I am in a waiting room since there is no movement going on I have to turn off my music and settle for my short daydreams which are not very vivid. The music and movement go hand in hand so if I were to stay still and listen to music I would freak out because music is such a major trigger. The only way I can stay still and listen to music is if I am checking out a song for the first time.

I can't listen to music while DDing & be still. If I'm not alone & can't pace the music has to be turned off. My characters are usually a bit more emotional when the music is off which can be painful for me at times. When the music is on & I can pace freely my DDs are much more fun & satisfying. I wait until I'm alone to listen to songs I've never heard before b/c if they inspire a dd the need to pace is overwhelming. I can't take the risk of the song triggering that so I just wait.

I don't have that problem. I do pace and listen to music while DDing, but I can DD when I'm not listening to music and not able to pace. I can also listen to music and not DD. 

I am the same way I pace so much. It is almost impossible for me to listen to music in public or around people. My pacing is the very reason I have to lock myself in my room to listen to music cause I know it is going to trigger a DD, which will lead to pacing, movements, mumbling, facial expressions...yeah I got the whole enchilada. Now I can listen to music around people, but I have to really focus on not going deep into my dding, and that takes some strength, but I usually can not listen for long in public...my dding will win eventually. So I rip the ear buds out before I lose control in front of people. In a nut shell listening to music in public it not something I do, because I can't do it. See, I understand what you are going through.

I am the same way with movement. I have like a specific playlist that I play whil DD and when I'm not in movement or currenntly DD I'm not interested inlistening to the songs. Out in public I like to listen to music but I avioid those songs because I'll have to be doing somekind of step movements
