As I've been reading blog posts (and, yes, I've already sort of touched on this in my Introductions blog post) I've been noticing that a lot of people have been talking about their MD beginning sometime in their teens or young adult years. They talk about when they started doing it and what made them start. As I've already mentioned, though, DDing has been a large and disruptive part of my life since as far back as I can remember. And, according to my parents, it's been happening even before…

I'm sick and tired of waking up several times during the night because my brain expects this time as a designated daydream time. Sure, maybe sometimes I wake up because I'm in an uncomfortable position or something, but at the very least I cannot go back to sleep until I've daydreamed for a few hours.

It probably started when a few times I must have woken myself up, and I used daydreaming to pass the time while I went back to sleep, but not it is habit and I can't handle waking up…

I have a habit of lying to everyone I know. Have I ever talked to you? If so I have probaby lied to you. It can be about anything, insignificant, or crucial. What I just relaized is that I will lie to other people in my daydreams. As weird as that is.

Apart from that in my sleeping dreams I often lie to and argue with the other people in them. It's the strangest thing, I guess after a while lying became normal to me, so now my unconcious considers it normal as well.

Really!?  In my dd I am the sexiest thing around. LOL!  I don't sleep around in it, I just have a husband who adores me and can't get enough.  Ok, maybe that part of dding is a little sad.  :(  My "real husband" is great but, not so great.

Lately daydreaming is just boring and seem to continue on without a real purpose at all. I honestly have no will or want to continue to daydream away my life. I don't know if it is the medicine that affected me the most or what but I just don't want to anymore.

I decided it's time to trade this curse for a gift, I must earn. As many of you know I wish to be a writer when I grow up and it has been helping and keeping me busy from day dreaming. I have come to conclusion that instead of…

I am 58 years old and here is my story. Ever since I was a young girl around 7 or 8 I used to always pretend that people that I liked and wanted to be with were always around me and talking with me and I with them. I could change the scene to suit my emotions. If I was having a good time with friends and I  had to come home after playing and I had to go to bed, I used to keep the vibe going in my head while I listened to music and rocked. I have always envisioned people that I wanted to be…

so i usually like a few days to go by before i write another blog but today i hit a big trigger i couldnt sleep much last night so i gave up trying i turned on the tv and a commercial was on the girl in the commercial was a celebrity i used to obsess about i used to use her in my fantasies i had never seen the commercial before so i was surprised by it i had the urge to watch it again and again so i could get it in my head and i could daydream about it and about her

i fought…

Been reading about today and read something that relates to me and wondered if it did to any of you.

Research has found that frequency of dream recall is associated with absorption and related personality traits, such as openness to experience and proneness to dissociation. A…

I just discovered my pattern for my extreme dding:  Always during difficult times when my "real life" is going out of sorts.  Especially when I am depressed or hurting.  This is the one part of my life that I can control.  Today I just spent tody day dreaming. ALL DAY........  It felt good and bad at the same time.  Good because I was relaxed.  Bad because i just wasted a day I could have been out with my kids.  Instead I begged off when a friend offered to take us to the…

 let me start by saying happy thanksgiving everyone!!

its day 7 i didnt think i could make it past thanksgiving being a stressful day for alot people surrounded by family and other people....

Im sitting in my room wondering what i was thinking when i thought it would be a good idea to try and quit daydreaming during the most stressful time of the year.....i started this whole thing back in january everytime i "fell off the wagon" i got right back on the longest i went…

I've been looking through some of the other blogs on here and then I got to thinking of how/when DD came in to my life.  I never had any traumatic experiences and my home life was pretty good growing up.   I didn't really remember having DD's often during high school.  Maybe  at that time in my life, between going to school and school activities and working part time, I just didn't have the time or energy to DD.  

I don't think my DD's really started to become vivid until I was about…

I've read many MDer's stories on when and how it all started for them and many have no reason why. For years I wondered why I started my MD world and looking back I've come to realize it was because of my mum. She has Borderline Personality Disorder which included her suffering from severe paranoia. I wasn't allowed out much because she was scared of the outside world and kept me in and as close as possible. I'm an only child by the way, so she was very over protective. I developed a fear of…

I sometimes find myself putting off school work or dreading going to work because all I want to do is cuddle up in bed and daydream. Even when I'm falling asleep, I go into my "other" life and I'm in bed with my "husband" and he's holding me. Sometimes I think it's unhealthy because like I said, I procrastinate and hate going to work because I can't spend time in my "other" world if I'm doing school work or at work.

I remember when I was in Elementary school and high school, I…

Wow.  I am not alone apparently.  I have been living and reliving fantasy lives in my head for over forty years.  Amazing that I am not alone as all these years I've thought that I'm just crazy and no one knows about it!  I started a blog to sort of journal my journey of change.  If anyone wants to read it, it's at www.mymendingwall.com.

I'm not sure that daydreaming is really a good term for this.  Daydreaming sounds so simple, so…

I can't express how good it is to know I'm not alone with MD. I only a couple of days ago found a name for my excessive daydreaming.

I started daydreaming a lot when I was about 8 years old, acting out things from books, off the TV and what I saw in everyday life. I couldn't go to sleep at night without day dreaming for at least 2 hours, and it's still the same for me…

Hi I had an account on here a year ago or so, but I forgot the email address associated with it, so here I am again.

I've been maladaptive day dreaming for as long as I can remember. A lot of people start doing it to distract themselves from bad things, the thing is nothing bad has ever happend to me. My life is peaches  and roses. (That's probably not a reall saying is it..)

And in addition to the whole daydreaming thing, Im also Bulimic, I self-harm, and I have issues with…
