Seems like allot of new members so I wanted to let you all know about the MD radio show on every Sat @ 3pm est. The old shows can be listened to from the show page as well. It is a light discussion about maladaptive daydreaming and living with it. We try to go over recent articles and any new research or resources. Would love to have you join us.

 This is something I've noticed. I have far more unusual and vivid sleeping dreams than most people do. I'm wondering if other MD'ers do as well ? Perhaps because of the MD, we are stretching our brain ...muscles...LOL and it gives our subconscious a stronger pallette.

  I also find myself looking very eagerly toward bedtime. My night dreams break the patterns of my daydreams and I never know what to expect but am always sure it will be entertaining !

I found this site through a Yahoo article.

I've been a dreamer since my early school years.  My childhood wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst childhood. My mother could build you up one minute and tear you down the next moment.  My father was a workaholic.  My brother escaped to his friend's home.  I escaped to my room reading books and living in a dream world.  My family was four people that lived under the same roof.

My daydreams were not magical fantasy…

Today I dreamed about the new form of transportation, it called a dimension gate. Everyone can use it as an alternative way of transportation , you just jump into the dimension gate and it will warp you to another dimension gate that be around your destination. The gates are not at specific place such as beside the bridge that you have to get out of a car and jump off the bridge to get into the gate that  invisible but everyone  knows  it's there (What  an ordinary weird). The dimension that…

I just wanted to say that since I found this website (actually thanks to Yahoo. Yahoo actually posted something worth it.), I've felt better about myself.

I never knew of anyone who had this condition and I didn't even think it had a name. I just thought I was insane. I even thought about going to therapy because of it (although I don't have enough money to do that.) Know that there is other people out there with this same condition and being able to talk to people about…

Hello to you all. I'm glad I found this website and wonder if you can help me out?

I have been a daydreamer as long as I can remember. I went through many different DDs, which were inspired by many sources. Now, my DDs changed to a downright abusive hell. I don't know what is to blame. Perhaps returning to work from 2 weeks long vacation (spent with my head in the clouds - again) and not being able to fall in yet.

My MD consist of many characters of the different backgrounds…

I have Aspergers (quite high functioning), and I am a compulsive DD'er. I daydream while driving and while in bed at night. I was wondering just how many of you all might also have Aspergers....look it up (look up women with aspergers) for women because it presents differently from men. Just curious if there was a possible connection.

Anyway, like many of you, music is a big trigger, especially while driving. I find it a good thing to listen to music while writing on stories. It seems…

For the longest time I didn't even know I was daydreaming. Not until the end of high school and into college did I begin to realize that I had two distinct sets of memories, not just a jumble of one. Sure, sometimes I daydreamed and knew it as such, wild fantasies that could not possibly be true, but much of it was far less easy to spot. Now I suspect I had started blending my unfortunate reality with a far more comforting storyline when I was only 6.

I'm stuck trying to…

This is something I do.  Some of my dd is based on some stories I have read. If I read a good part in a book I will almost always apply it to my dd life with myself as main person.  I even have more than 1 story line going at time.  Help!  Maybe I should stop reading for awhile.  It triggers my dd.

Coil- The Dreamer is Still Asleep:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZDnSvmv9J0

If this song does not speak to you, then no song written about trying to keep from daydreaming your life away ever will.

You know the artist who made this (Coil) has got to be a daydreamer himself. How else could one make such a resonant song about this subject? He gets it. :)

The lyrics also hit…

Well and hello there. Pleasure to meet you, even if I cannot meet you, and a pleasure to see you even if I cannot see you. My name is Dusty, and I supposed I joined the site because I wanted to spill a bit of hope if I could.

I was actually directed here by a recent Yahoo article, which my roommate showed me because she knows my story. I had no idea this was a condition, but I suppose, thinking back on it, some things make a lot more sense now...

I was…

Curious if the excessive daydreaming can be hereditary or could a person be predisposed because of genetics? I think my mother also lived in a fantasy world. She spend quite a bit of time alone, she was a homemaker and never worked outside the home. My dad was retired from the Navy and up until I was about 10 he was gone most of the time. She did have emotionally and physically traumatic experiences in her younger life that I think may have cause her to retreat into her perfect world.

I'm new this website and i would like to tell you my story......................

From the time I was the age of four my father sexually abused me. The abuse lasted for 9 years, untill I was 13. Can you guess my age?

I'M 13. I used to go to a world were everything was perfect, where my familie was normale and the smells, sounds and sights were perfect. When i was younger i thought of stuff for "adults" like being free and living by myself and having a baby and a husband. I still due.…

I wonder, reading through so many new-entry blogs, how most of us got here.  According to the study, most of us had fairly decent childhoods, little to no trauma that would usually act as the initial motivation for escapism.  I'm no different - I had (still have) good, loving parents, a middle-class upbringing, and a good education.  I will admit to having an addictive personality, as well as a tendency to want things to be more "perfect" than they can be in real life (i.e. I'm a…

  I been daydreaming at work ,now for 3 weeks.  The past two weeks it's been the same.  I am at a photo shot which is somewhere  on the grounds of casetal .  A male model get's out of a outside pool, hairless chest & white Speedo's.  But last week, when he strips off his Speedo, he has a Muppet penis ( that talks).  The Muppet say " What are you looking at ?".  Then the dream stops & I get back to work.
