Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I know it is personal but if you are comfortable with it, i would like to hear what other people dream about. What kind of world it is, characters, unusual details. I'm just interested to hear other peoples stories!
Thanks
p.s. None can be as weird as mine!

I decided I like putting numbers in the front of titles. It satiates my usually very ornery and conflicting senses of OCD and HDAD. So yes, I stole it from Julia La Vey. She seems like a classy broad so I don't think she'd mind.
I write a lot, yet I want all of it to be organized and have meaning. I don't want to go up my own ass in meaning. Take myself too seriously. I don't take anything seriously.
Unless I'm trapped.
Have you ever been…

hello everyone
i have no idea how i found this place but im thankful that i have, everything i read here i can relate to on so many levels, something that ive never had before. im not entirely sure what i want to write so ive decided to just let the words flow and let the dream decide where i will go. Im not sure anyone will read this, or even want to, but im not sure if that matters really. instead im just going to do it becuase.
I am always in a dream that…

For a couple months in between late December and Febuary, i sucessfully stopped daydreaming. It was amazing - i was becoming passionate about my writing and growing monumentally as a person. In a matter of weeks, I could feel the pull of inspiration and, for once in three years, I actually LISTENED to music, instead of merely pacing and dreaming. Finally, my life was enriched.
When I look back at that time, I remember a feeling of vicious hope and liberation. In short, I was…

Instead of posting the next few chapters like I was doing I decided to just finish the whole thing and give everyone the download link when I finished it! :)

What if I fall in love with that man?
Love is a triumph of imagination over rationality. You lose control. You act irrationally. You do stupid things. You compromise, when you don't need to. You don't compromise, when you have to. You might run an emotional roller-coaster a.k.a. "I hate myself for loving you" or even "I love to hate you". You might get miserable "He's a drug addict, beats me, steals…

Augmented Reality is a real nifty thing for the daydream-inclined. Instead of creating a completely separate and detached world, you try to fill in the boring parts of the one you're in. Synesthesia is an effective and sometimes involuntary method of doing this ~ imagining shapes, lights and synchronized movements to music. Or, making up songs out of the normal and very Monday events happening around you.
I like to think of it like layers in Photoshop, you can play with masks…

I started writing a linear story, and I'm on page 11.
That is by far, the most I've ever spent on one single idea. When I gave myself the limitation of having to think in a linear fashion, my brain found amusing ways to get around it. Switching to other characters, dimensions, to myself. Eventually I will turn my MD into productive thought. I guess you can technically say I will stop having "maladaptive" day dreaming but.
I'm still going to be miles away in situations.…

Lately I’ve been daydreaming about my imaginary couple confessing their love for the first time (and for what is actually the millionth time). Yesterday, I suddenly felt compelled to find well-written love letters online, address them to my characters, and print them out in handwriting font. Then I sealed them in envelopes and made up their addresses. I pretend that my characters actually wrote these letters to each other, and I feel stupidly excited. Am I getting weirder or what? And what a…

Some time ago there was a Danish movie Adam's apples. It was about a priest, who was very happy and despite all bad things surrounding him, kept optimistic. He was radiating health, telling, how good his son was in soccer and at school and from time to time became a bit sentimental and sad, remembering his dead wifte (who had died accidentally because of choking). Then one of the characters discovers that the priest is terminally ill, his son is mentally and…

Yeah, it's really, really hard to pay attention.
Well not really.
I do feel like I'm permanently parenting my persona.
"I don't wanna write, I wanna go on facebook!"
"You hate facebook. You feel horribly alone and bored after 20 minutes on it!"
"NYAAAHHH"
I want my life to be a solid state of meaning
off of my butt to get past just scheming
demeaning my efforts as I try to glide
on the jet streams and currents up in…

Only recently I decided to look this up on the internet and came across this forum thing! I'm 20 years old and think I should share my story...
I've done this ever since I was little and always believed I would grow out of it, but now i've recently turned 20 and it still happens. I (kind of) have accepted it. I'm at university at the moment and it didn't happen very often as I was happy, but recently found out my boyfriend had been cheating on me (and some family problems arose) and…

Nobody's fault but mine
I want to tell a story, which is not exactly about day-dreaming, but about signals from night dreams, absorbing reality and lack of harmony between the mind and the body. Day-dreaming is also related as the whole thing happened due to fighting it.
"Drowning in my sleep". Mind and body disconnect part
There are theories telling that our mind totally controls our bodies. If we really want something, we can do it,…
ContinueOkay, I think I just finished my story. I'm at a good ending spot. This is an update to my previous blog that had the first half of the story. I'm tentatively calling it Painted Scars. Let me know if you think that title fits. Also, for those of you who haven't been here a long time, this is the blog of the main character from my story Miles. It ends with her killing Miles, as it's implied she does in that story. I thought that would be a good ending spot. Otherwise, it…

Between work, family, fiance, car issues, and camp meetings I am just about done. I have not had any alone time since Friday and tonight won't be any different. I look forward to tomorrow night. Not having alone time drives me bonkers. Part of it is other people's drama stresses me out. The other thing is I need me time. Me time is daydreaming, playing video games, petting the kitty, and if its nice out taking a walk in the park.
I've missed the nicest two days this…
ContinueI found it very hard for me to daydream with my eyes closed. It may sound strange, because it seems that when our eyes are closed imagination works better and create brighter and more colorfull images.
But when I close my eyes because I've started daydreaming I can't create so bright images as when my eyes are open. I've never been wondering why's that. Maybe closing my eyes is like forcing my brain to daydream and daydreaming should be unforced.
So even when…

Well, i'm writting here tonight because i'm so fustrated. I keep daydreaming the same daydreams over and over again. I'm growing quite tired of them. I can't motivate myself to do anything but go into my dream world and I feel like i'm wasting my life away. I have lots of things I want to do like be a good writer, have good friends, be athletic and in good shape, eat well, etc, etc. But I can't do any of them because I can't make my fastasy life like my real life. I mentioned…

For me my daydreaming has a strong link to depression. I have suffered from life threatening depression since I was in grade school. My emotions in real life where always trying to kill me. It was only in daydreaming where I became someone else that I could escape the self-loathing. I tried different medications and several different years of therapy but it made no difference. It was only in my Christianity that I was able to finally break the power of it. Yet I could not give up the…
