Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Hi everyone. I'll introduce myself since this is my first post. I am a 15 year old girl from Australia and I go by the name Caeru. I love to read, write, draw, and play most sports, especially soccer/football. My daydreams are pretty much just fan fictions, with my own characters thrown into the mix. I have four fictional worlds that I can claim are completely my own, and am working on a fifth. I don't have an idealised version of myself, just main characters. They're all male and I always…

Often when I daydream I use atmospheres im familiar with for the settings. for example, one of my characters house is the exact same as my aunts house. one of my characters has the same house as my next door neighbour. and the school they go to looks exactly like mine. I guess its difficult for me to make up my own room or house and remember exactly how I made it everytime. I mean like, its its a bedroom or something they'll have different furniture,wall paint, etc but the its the same…

So I have been wondering this for a few days now. My boyfriend and I are pretty serious and we made a vow to each other a little while ago never to keep major secrets because he found out he had diabetes, and didn't tell me because he didn't want me to worry. So now, I'm debating whether or not I should tell him about MD. I'm afraid if I tell him, he won't understand, but part of me feels like he would at least try to understand. What would you do?

So, from what I've read, basically you all have the typical "daydream", so to speak...sort of...What I'm trying to say is, has anyone had any different kinds? This is really weird to say, because I've hidden this for so long but here goes...All of my characters come to me in real life. Like, instead of me going to their "world", they come to mine. Which is why I talk to myself a lot. I still change myself, but instead of imagining this, I am it. I become Rayne. If I'm talking…

Have you guys ever heard of the song, "The State of Dreaming" by Marina and The Diamonds. I don't know why but her song really speaks to me as an MDer, all of her songs do but especially this one. Just thought you might like it .

Sometimes my day dreams are so wild and vivid they can frighten me so I write them down.

Hi all,
I wanted to let you know that I have been working on a novel with an MD theme for a few years, and it is now available to buy/download. It is the fictionalised story of one woman so there are reasons and rationales for her MD, but I hope that it might be something that you would like to see. the link is here if you would like to have a peep! http://elizabethglanville.com/the-imaginist/

So, I'm fifteen now, and this has been happening since the third grade. I was always embarrassed because I'm a sophomore in high school. No one would understand if they knew. My Dad doesn't know anything, not even about this site. It was always awkward when people asked why I was talking to myself. All I can say is that it is so great to have a name for my "condition" and to know that I'm not alone.

So I just told my mom about my MD. I also showed her this site and had her read the explanation of MD on the home page. She took it really well. She asked me how often I daydream and I told her that it depends/varies - which is true. She also said that I can't dream my life away though I already know that. That's part of the reason why I'm here on this site. I'm not ready for my dad to know though. He and I don't have a very good relationship. We argue a lot. Anyways just wanted to share…

Okay, so I just did an internet test here: http://www.aspergerstestsite.com/
Just for the hell of it, to see how close I'd be to having Aspergers Syndrome (a mild form of autism), because there's this theory I heard once:
There's a line, and on one major extreme is schizophrenia, and on the other major extreme is autism. Most people are towards the middle, and slightly into- or…

I have a fantasy (amongst others) about this beautiful, strong, succesful woman, largely representing my personality in her verbal behavior but much more lucky when it comes to genetic material...I call her Juno. So why is she female? And what does she mean to me? Reasons I can think of:
1. Wanting to be complete
So she is not male. What psycho-analists call the anima, if you will?
2. Eye-candy
A simple…

I have to apologize for another long read beside my first blog post, especially towards people with short attention spans. But this may help. Initially this was intended as a personal response, but I think this could be important to more people here. What triggered it was Cordellia's remark to me about:
the difficulty of making friends.
Probably your fantasy world is much more attractive than the outside world. This keeps you from truly being interested.…

My story, APOLOGIES for the long read I'm putting you through!
my name is Floris, 35 now, male and I'm from the Netherlands, a small country with plenty of rainy days but also sunny ones where feelings of guilt are placed on pale people not going outside because the summers don't always last very long. I have spent a large part of my life inside my mind and have found a rich life there, but also experienced pain for the lack of a life outside of that mind.…

I can't handle my daydreaming anymore, I'm fighting to focus and its so difficult. I have become an expert at staring at something and looking like I'm paying attention, all teachers think I'm super attentive but I'm looking at them but I can't hear or really see them because I'm daydreaming, I've spaced out. I was watching a movie for school that was only about 8 minutes long and I had to repeat one bit several times because I kept on missing it because of daydreaming. It's so frustrating…
