Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I have enjoyed my dreams, and now I find myself not having the time I would like to do my dreaming. In the past, my dreams come, I will play them out in my head for awhile, sometimes a couple months, and then I move on. Maybe this one that I am on now will do the same thing, I don't know, it is new.The problem with this dream is, it not only involves real people, but I find myself wondering what if it were to one day become real. There is one person I have been dreaming about now for about…

I'm just curious if anyone with MD has ever video taped themselves daydreaming. Periodically I set up a camera on a tripod and record myself for about 30 minutes and watch it back. It's trivial, but I learn a lot about how MD may look to an outsider. Watching playback of my behavior helps me realize what I'm doing, how much time I waste doing it and what I could've been doing instead.

I've joined the site today and thought I'd just write an entry with a bit about myself and why I joined. Ever since I can remember I have had an overactive imagination. I first noticed that I was different from everyone else, when at the age of about 11, my friends lost interest in 'make-up' games (where you basically pretend to be different people) but I didn't lose the interest. I would just play them by myself in the playground and would have carried on in secondary school if I wouldn't…

I am not going to say that I am fully cured, but I have found out a remedy that was a great help in reducing my DD spells!! My biggest problem was always catching myself and then finding productive things to think in its place. But after I took on this habit, it really opened my eyes in how much stronger my mindset is to be in control!! It is not therapy, no pill....something you probably would never even consider in a million years....
JUICING!!!
Now...there are…

I've just lost interest in my characters and the worlds I've created. This has been going on for months even. I really am at the point of giving up the daydreaming. In fact, I feel like I can achieve so much more if I give it up, and I really want to just let go.
The only thing is it's become such a habit I'm not sure how to stop. Does that make sense? For me it once started as a coping mechanism has twisted my mind (I guess you can say) to a new type of thinking pattern. Basically my…

I have suffered from this since at least early teens.Possibly longer.I had an overactive imagination as a child and would act out movies after watching them.My mother thought it odd and would tell me to stop and that I was being silly so i would hide this activity.maybe why it became MD??? Could this be a reason?? So it has continued on into my 40's.Althought it has changed and became less of a time consuming thing.Maybe because as we age we have less to fantasize about?I do notice it can be…

Hey all my fellow DDers: Does this site help or hinder? I am conflicted. I want to stop but, not really. I hate missing life and feeling unfulfilled, yet I love the escape of real life dding gives me.
Such conflicting emotions: guilt, confusion and frustration. I feel like my life is never really one way or the other. Just a jumble of ups and downs.
DDing has become some sort of therapy for when everything that is "real" is out of control, it is the one thing I can…

Hi people, i just wanted to know how you felt about the idea of using Neural Programming as therapy for MD. I've been doing online research and have found out that beta sound waves are supposed to help with OCD. So recently i've been listing to beta wave sound tracks by my wireless bluetooth headset throughout my day to day life and it seems to be helping. I've heard a lot about how music often triggers MD in a lot of us so by that logic maybe it can un-trigger(lack of a better word) MD…

Just a short diary sort of thing, again, in the hopes that it'll de-stress me, so you'll probably find it quite boring.
So, I went to bed at 11AM this morning; woke at 3PM to the door; wasn't for me; wasn't even the right door he was knocking in. So, I enthusiastically acknowledged his mistake and apologised for the fact I couldn't help him whilst refraining from punching him in the face for his mistake in waking me. Great start to the day.
Layed…
ContinueHere's an except from our book and a concept drawing done by Gethin.
I remember the day I pulled on my first Canaan kit. It was number 47, Alain Plante. It still fit Gabe, he just felt bad for me and figured it would cheer me up. It was the most perfect shade of purple I had ever seen. A deep royal colour accented with two golden yellow stripes striking through the chest. The number and Plante’s name were a crisp white on the back. It looked like it had never been worn before,…

Anyone ever do that? He said it may help to "tell" the subconcious to not be so intrusive.

This is just an old poem I wrote a while back last year. It's not very good, but feedback would still be nice.
Bubbling, unrealistic, desires,
so inseparable we need pliers.
Hone you're so venomous
it leaves blessedness.
A secret I won't tell
how these actions impel,
because I've become an addict
to the pain you inflict.
I hear your whispering call
and fight my inner brawl
to your…
