I went for a morning jog today as I had planned to. I only ran for about five minutes, but that's okay: My goal was to get out the front door and do some form of exercise; not break the world record for longest sprint. 

I can't say I've been that productive since then. I've definitely spent less time daydreaming and getting more involved with my friends. I've made plans to see two of my friends next week. And I'm going to try to get in touch with my friend overseas for a skype…

**MAY CAUSE UNWANTED TRIGGERS**

Hi, so I was wondering how many people on here started to daydream or daydream excessively after something tramatic happened to them. I know this can be a rather touchy topic, but I am honestly curious and mean no harm.

I naturally assumed my excessive daydreaming was nothing serious and later on found out it was more of a coping thing for me and my soical anxiety. I…

Lights. Camera. Action.

Huge crowd cheering my name, security guards all around me, people asking me for an autograph or a picture. I go home, and find my best friend there, we soon fall in love, get famous, and make the best selling theater plays and films ever. 

That's one song. I sit down. 

Not real. It's all in your head.

Who cares? Put on another song. Flick. Flick. Flick. People follow…

Unlike most people, I've pretty much pinpointed the whole reason I daydream in the first place. It's because I want to escape reality. I never ever daydream during the summer or when I have free time or when I'm away from people or when I'm on a vacation. I daydream when I can't afford to--when I have a deadline to meet, when I have people to talk to, when I'm right in the middle of my own…

Okay, often I do this thing I sometimes call 'half-daydreaming' or something (I need to figure out how to word half-daydreaming as something that comes to me like my therapist said) and it's when I'm doing something, often on the computer, sometimes while driving etc, where, rather than imagining me in some other place, I'll just be talking as if someone else is there (ah, the number of times I have done things like take two glasses out instead of one is too high to count), and nothing big…

I complain to my therapist sometimes about my daydreaming. How much I do it, how it takes away from reading, writing, more constructive activities, etc. The more stressed out I get, the more I bury myself in my thoughts, even though doing even ONE thing that is productive or relaxing will give me a boost of confidence, or at least clear my head in a proper fashion.  (Managing to do anything in my free time besides daydreaming or vegetating in front of my computer always makes me proud) It…

I've noticed that all of the main characters in my daydreams have some sort of excessive power over something or someone, whether it be through strength or intellect. I wonder what that says about me...?…

Lately, I've been getting better at controlling myself and not daydreaming all the time.

But I'm surprised at how depressed I get. Is it like a withdrawal thing... has anyone else dealt with this? It's like if you're not daydreaming you're forced to face real life, and real life isn't the happiest thing for someone who's daydreamed their life away. It really empties me, like I don't have much to think about.

Everytime i read someone with MD, the first thing they say or write is that they've been DD for as long as they remember. In fact i think that is the same with me. I can't remeber or maybe i'm so much into DD that i think that i've been all my life doing it. Sometimes i get angry with myself, with the fact that i can't pass one day without DD (Is really strange on how we write the word "daydreaming", if i say to someone who is not in the same situation as me:  "DD" i dont think…

Hello Wild Minds,

I hope you're all doing well. Happy Monday. :P I just need to vent, I guess, after going through another "big point" in my life.

     Earlier today my mom told me she needed to go to the library to return some books. At first I jumped at the idea, I wanted to go. Then I didn't want to go because I had other plans. Can anyone take a wild guess as to what those plans might have been? That's right,…

Its my first blog in here..Thank you for creating a network..where i can accept myself as i am.. and maybe talk with someone who will wake me up in a sort of way.

Thank you Wild Minds Network :)

So, I've been going to the doctor, gettin' tested for ADD and all that, and I'm still waiting for the results. Have to admit, I'd be really excited to get some "focus medicine" but I know at the end of the day, that stuff wears off and I have to have some kinda inner will power.

Sooo, here's some of the stuff I do to keep from daydreaming:

1)I get P.O'd

Sounds weird, but I do and it helps. Not at myself, at whatever's making me daydream. I kinda kick it…

I'm still baffled at the fact I found this site and others like me. I've been doing this since i was maybe 7 or

8 so 20 years now and yesterday was the FIRST time I ever decided to.find out why I do this and is it normal. It all started when i was a little girl, I was an only child at the time, I was shy and had no friends and i made my dolls talk to each other, created lives for them, names the whole 9. So when I got to old to play with my toys everything went over to daydreams and it…

I've been doing this since I was like 11 or 12.

It started when I started to really get into the harry potter series.

I constructed a world were I talked to the main trio + draco malfoy in the muggle world because I had been expelled and had to live as a normal muggle. And then for a period of time I even lost my memory and didn't know I was a witch.

Then the longest and my most complicated one was with the character Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist. Which…

Some of mine have names, and some don't. It seems completly random. Sometimes when I first start forming a character, I'll come up with a name that seems to fit perfectly, and it will just stick. But other times, I don't even realize that the character has no name, until I'll be imaging a dialog scenerio, and suddenly I'll be like, uh, oops. My main character has no name. I've tried to pin several on her, but they never stick. Somehow I feel like she doesn't need a name. Does anyone else do…

Hi, I guess this is a little
 rant intro.

So, Monday I was sick, staying home and avoiding school. Well, technically I couldn't get myself out of bed, which is a battle I seem to fight every morning because every time I wake up the daydreams take over. I never thought much of my daydreams, I have a bad memory so I can only remember a couple of years back in detail, but as far as I know my daydreams have been part of my life for a…

Sorry if I've been posting so much!

But does anyone have any good ideas, charters, plots, settings, story lines, ANYTHING  if you guys like to share... I got an idea already but i don't think it'll take me very far. Perfectibility fiction ideas? Things you'd like to read about?  Thank You!
