Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Left in the dark is
a solider.
She stands alone
on the battlefield.
Just a battle between
her and the devil.
She's losing.
His temptations
will be the death of her.
His deep, teasing voice
is the chains that drag her in.
The malicious laugh
makes her shake.
The cold,…

I thought I can leave here (Dubai)without any grief .But it is life with all of its unpredictability,I like that at certain level at least its aesthetics of possibilities.we should be angry when someone trying to ruin our dream.Accidents are not accidents it is a chain of actions explode at a particular moment.
we trust others as our brain trained(by evolution?) to be believed some prototypes.I always thought we must resolve the ambiguity in life to find a workable solution,and i…

Hi there. I'm Amber and am a mid-30's Mom. Speaking about this at all is awkward because I don't think I've ever told anyone about this ever. I'm actually quite sure I haven't. Imagine my surprise when I got the idea to google daydreaming and I came across a site about MD which in turn lead to this site.
I fit the description of MD quite well. I remember doing it as a child and its never really stopped. I am an only child and as a kid I used to pretend to be a teacher…

I guess it all started when I was around 4 or 5, I had learned to read at a pretty early age, so my imagination was already sparked. I'm not sure what triggered the MD but it most likely came from many sources at once. My parents separated 6 months after I was born and my Dad would visit once a year or so, he lived in Europe. I grew up in a single parent/extended family household, so I was always surrounded by adults most of them much older than me. I was a lonely child and an only child…

Well, I never thought I would say this, but things with my daydreaming seem to be gettting better. I can see most of my issues are with self-loathing. I see that a lot of other people have issues with productivity and paying attention. These have never really been an issue for me. I also have OCD, which (I have to laugh a little here) seems to save me from being unproductive. It seems to balance me out, because no matter how much I daydream, I am also very driven to be perfect in…

Haha, just a couple things I wrote when I was feeling down. They're pretty short and not that great.
#1:
No matter where
When I wake up I reach out for you
And you disappear
Into the oblivion
Why do you do this to me?
It’s been going on since I was a child
I’ve been waiting, pondering, wanting for you to stay through the day. By my side through the seasons and the years.
#2:
The dark. The sweat and the night. The presence…

It all started as a game, or that is what I think. I am not sure how it did, but I know now that has come out of control. Yes, it did. It did happen to me. I eventually started and now I am trapped in my own mind. I can't resist to talk to myself, or talk to my imaginary friends. Actually, they are not completely imaginary because they exist in real life. They just don't come to me that often, but I bring them in my imaginary world, or my wonderland.
I always end up being the most…

Silence is the border
From where I astonish why it isn’t a routine
I stepped out from the escalation of violent inside
Freeing mind from atrocities and…

Lately, I've entered into a form of emotional yoyo-ing. I'm functioning in a perpetual state of self-loathing, yet hyper-excitable moods that are sort of coupled with depersonalization and a complete lack of balance. I'm really anxious and my heart rate is super high and pounding, but I still feel sort of fine. I think this is mainly from hormone shifts (damn them!). At times like this , though, I'm particularly connected with my daydreams. I wish I were a better writer, or artist, so that…

Just testing first. One two three. My favourite dreams are the ones that are recyclabe.

It's about time I had one, though it kept switching between me and him (Dan), as if we were the same person. Plus, he had my voice. o_O Basically, Dan was a college art teacher. All of his students loved him. Suddenly, one of his students, who looked like Edward James Olmos, created a masterpiece painting that he fell in love with. For the majority of the dream, he tried to sneak inside his own studio to steal his student's…

I'm Canadian- which I choose to think means I have winter in my veins. The last few months have been kind of lacking the winter chill that I'm used to , but it's back and with a vengence.
A segment from an article on the weather network:
"Cold Arctic air has invaded much of Alberta and will bring temperatures of minus 31 to 39C (-23.8 to -38.2Fahrenheit) overnight. These temperatures combined with winds of 15 to 20 km/h will give wind chills of minus 40 to 50 (-40 to -58…

Recently my MD has been letting up. I'm able to actually go through out my school and focus on my work instead of when i could get home to start MDing. Everything has gotten better, including my relationships with friends and family etc. Then when i think everything is starting to balance out it comes back harder that ever!…

Literally, I am trying to find out why. I was never abused, raped, or anything like that. Nothing bad happened to me or is happening. I have great friends and my parents are together. They don't live together at the moment though. The only thing I can think of is that my mom really pressures me to do well in school and I am constantly in over my head with AP classes and whatnot. But i can not seem to ever stop daydreaming. Every minute of every day i seem to be doing it! Its horrible and i…

I am curious to hear from other people about how much of their daydreaming involves creating new things versus revisiting old things. Mine is heavily weighted towards the same things over and over and over again. Like OCD.

I suppose it's been awhile since I've posted. To caught up in my daydreams to notice how fast time goes. Forgive me. It hasn't gotten better, really. I just like to live in a denial of sorts. That it isn't a problem, that is.
But it is and I hit my low points of self-loathing and feel the need to speak about it here. When I hate everything that I am and escaping reality doesn't fix it, I am quite lost. No creativity is to be found here, no sir.
I went to class today and I…

The last few days have completely changed my worldview, and perhaps even my life. I am more self aware of my daydreaming now than at any other time. With my eyes open to MD, I’m finding that I do it more than I realized. Walking to class, I daydream. In class during pauses or repetitive parts, my mind runs. And when my mind runs, I have to move something, be it my fingers, feet or even toes.
However, I’ve also found that there are differences. I never work on…

My opinions may change as I learn more but I have tried to change in the past and suffered for it. I like being a dreamer and I very seldom miss being with other people. I have been a dreamer forever. I think it helps me cope with my life atm.
How it helps is mainly with my paintings and writing. Also I learn more by being on the internet than going to libraries. That is how I found this website which I love. Actually I believe I was drawn here by some mysterious connection…

Okay, well, to start off, I don't believe I ever properly introduced myself. I am Jennifer, and I'm 14 years old, and I am kind of a rookie to all of this. To be honest, I am not even sure if I actually have MD, or is it just all in my head? The thing that really throws me off is that I don't exactly "Daydream." I act them out; like, walk around, talk, make gestures, and even laugh and cry as if my fantasies are actually happening in front of my eyes. No one I know knows about this. My…
