Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
So... Does anyone else have it where you're in the middle of a day dream, then another daydream interrupts it??

from what i know i think i lot of us, in our daydreams, have
-main characters (whether you imagine them or pretend you actually are them)
-other characters
-a plot/storyline in your daydreams (an ongoing one, or one that is frequently changed)
all of which are inspired/influenced/triggered from time to time by things like movies, tv programmes and stuff, is that right?
well i was wondering, has anyone ever kept up the same characters and same sort of…

Lately I've been dd a lot. And I do this thing where I push everyone in real life away. And I've done so to my best friend and I just don't even know what to say to her anymore. It's like something happened and I don't know her anymore.
Nothing changed.
But I can't feel our friendship.
This always happens. Between myself and everyone I know. I know it's because I retreat into my head and then reality just doesn't compare. But I'm at a loss.
A loss of words and…

That's what I noticed I tend to tell myself when I'm daydreaming. "Ahh, I can stop if I want, I just don't want to right now." "I'll start tomorrow!" But I can't and I know I can't. It's like I can't control myself. I can't trust myself to not daydream. I don't know how to discipline myself. I procrastinate. & this isn't something I need to put off. I wanna be a little better for next school year. I swore this summer I'd do better but I feel I'm doing worse. That's what's really…

Hey everyone!
Thought I'd make another blog post that goes into more detail about myself and my MD.
So here we go (:
I've been day dreaming for as long as I can remember. Most of my childhood memories are actually pretend memories. Incredibly real to me but not to anyone else because they all happened in my head.
Along with the day dreaming I'm a pacer.
I must have done it all the time without really realizing that it was "weird"
I…

I just joined this site and just discovered "maladaptive daydreaming"
For the longest time (ok I'm only 16 but still) I thought I was alone, a freak.
I'd never heard of anyone else spending hours pacing back and forth while weaving intricate daydreams and alternate realities, personas, and friends.
The fact that I'm not the only person who does this made me burst into tears.
I just want people who understand to talk to.
I want to not keep it as a…

So simple the expectation
I realize as it is annulled
The dream came true, I tell myself
And focus on believing it.
After years of longing, even craving for the acceptance
The truth it now becomes
Not quite the taste I wanted
But it’s something, a relief.
If the notes are audible, that is.
Otherwise I’ll meander along the same winding road, with the lake now in sight, as I had always known it would come…

Hi everyone! I just found this site, and I have to say, like I've seen a lot of others say, I'm so relieved to have found other people like me! I just thought I'd share a little bit about myself and my history with MD.
I have been daydreaming for as long as I can remember...at least since the age of four or five and probably longer, though I don't remember that obviously. My older sister and I were very creative as children, and when we played, it was never like other kids…

Tomorrow, I have to be at school by about 7am because my outdoor ed class is going tramping in mount Somers for 3 days/2 nights. I wonder how much I will DD, and how much I will converse with my group, and if I'll end up making my DD visible while walking (you know, facial movements and the like) or if I'll manage to keep it hidden because most of the class doesn't know I have this.... In fact, out of my group of 3+me=4, I think only one knows. She was shocked when I told her about…

i always read about how music triggers people to dd
and i first read that i was like " i dont do that"
but i realized that i do. its weird because ever since i can remember, one or a few of my characters are singers or in a band
A matter of fact, one of my first daydreams that i can remember was daydreaming the powerpuff girls in a band singer skater boy by avril lavigne everytime that song came on the radio.........
thats embarrassing, but ye
alot of my characters now…

It's very difficult to write own dreams on paper because my dreams are beyond the limits ,I wanna share it with people but scare that they will laugh on me.It's too crazy like a child after watching a T.V program or reading a novel start dreaming about it.In dreams i always a powerful ,dexter and industrious kind of person.I sometimes in dreams be a fairy or a T.v or sports celebrity.It's too childish but i think this is my world of fantasies which can never be snaches away by someone or…

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
Excert from Pink Floyd -comfortably numb

I can't do it. I thought I could tell someone I trust, but I can't do it! DDing is SO personal to me that I'm embarressed. I'm worried that they will think I'm sick, in the head. "Why would you fantasize about that?" Well, I don't know why I do it - but I can't stop because it's like I HAVE to. Keeps me sane. End of story.

I use my MD as a means of escape. I lie to myself, saying it really helps me but in the end I know it’s just an excuse. With each and every daydream that I have I lose another piece of myself. I use my MD as a distraction from my own feelings and emotions so I don’t have to face them. It’s so hard to even explain what I’m feeling on a normal basis and I write most things off as "whatever" and play indifferent. But it’s because I‘m not sure how I should feel…
