Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I will often play the same song over and over for the same daydream until I get it just right. Do any others here do this? I know it seems a little OCD, but it's usually only with songs really like and I won't do it so much with songs I can't 'get in to'.
Any music-repeat fanatics out thar?

I do this too! Or sometimes I'll even re-daydream it just to get the satisfaction of it again and again.
My iPod is usually on shuffle so I'll scan through it until I get to a song that I can 'get into' like you said and daydream away. Or I'll search through my Artists and pick songs from there. I prefer to do it that way, but it drains the battery faster. I try not to play the same song over too many times because I'm afraid I'll get sick of it. I'm already to the point where I need to add some more music just to change it up a bit.
Nice to know there's a fellow music-repeat fanatic out there! =)
I definitely do this. And not just with songs. The things that are currently inspiring the dream im in (book, episode, movie,...) ill watch them again and again till i can't get anymore out of it.
I do pretty much all of what you three described :) I just LOVE when you find a song that fits and emotion or scene in a daydream that you are going through, its such a thrill!!
I daydream sometimes while listening to music in the car, but when I get out I whistle it instead. After a while I get tired of it because it doesnt sound well. I kind of whistle it out of my system.
I always listen to the same music when lifting weights, another when driving and another when I run. Sometimes it takes years before I change the tunes, other times it takes months.
Yeah! I thought I was the only one to do this. When I find a song I really like, I assign it to a specific daydream and replay it over and over again until it's perfect.
I will listen to the same song on repeat hundreds of times. The only way to get it out of my head is to replace it with another song.
