This post is really just for me, but I think it is important that I write it. It has to do with my life in general, not just MD.

Lately, I have been thinking about how different my life is now from how it was even a year or two ago. While I still DD, and it affects my life in a big way, I think it is important to look at all of the progress that I have made.

I have been daydreaming for as long as I can remember. For a period of time, in middle and early high school, it became…

A few weeks a young lady made comments about me that really hurt me and are the main reason I think I started daydreaming in the first place. 

She says “we (her and the other three girls) are sometimes excited, we get angry we get irritable but you…you are always (she tries to find the right words…moving her hand horizontally across the air like a flat plane), you are always neutral.” She explains what she means. Throughout this I want to start crying. I know what…

i have a difficult time visualizing my characters, so when i decided i wanted to attempt a series of novels, i knew i needed visuals. please message me the drawings or post them here for all to see. i will include a photo (if the character is based on a real person), a description, and a personality profile. 

Holli Daze last image.

based off of me. five foot two. longer, wavier hair. olive eyes and on the skinnier side. there should be a futuristic "collar"…

I have written a new blog post on my music blog where I attempt to clarify my understanding of how (and why) music acts on daydreams.

The full post is at http://whatismusic.info/blog/MusicTheThirdReality.html, but I can summarize the essential points that would be of most interest to all the day-dreamers here:

• Music is like an alternative reality that causes us to have a "special connection" to it.…

So my dog died last night while we were stopping by a family member's house to let their dogs outside. We came home to learn she had suffocated, and all attempts to resuscitate her had failed. There are only a few things on Earth that are precious to me, and she was one of them. Now, I suppose she's not much different from my dream characters - alive in my thoughts and memories, but out of reach.

It's going to be rough for a while, but I know it was a freak accident…

Hi friends well our problem is that we cant control our mind .If we are able to control our stream of thoughts we control our mind and if control our mind we control our life.

I have attended a meditation camp which was a 10 days residential meditation camp. Vipassana meditation was the technique of meditation.In this we are taught  how to control our thought and become more focused in our life.The vipassana mediation camp which i attended it was free of cost. You will be given…

Time to catch my breath before it all starts over, and maybe a chance for progress on my path of stumbling blocks.

The issue of disconnecting from Nyre was gradual. I can't point at one specific event as the cause. Rather, things here and there that drove up stress on either side seemed to contribute.

When no one knew about Nyre - not even Autumn - the connection was crystal clear. I suppose something similar happened when she found out. Her…

I've been dreaming for most of my life on both sides. I've come to consider my dream world Nyre "home" and this Earth secondary. I have friends on the other side I've kept for twenty years. It's hard for reality to compare.

Right now, I'm going through a period of personal stress that brings nightmares when I sleep and hazy, unfocused daydreams. It makes proper communication with those on the other side a challenge. That's not to say I daydream any less as a result;…

I have figured out something that really helps me when I start to drift off especially when im doing something important. Whenever I feel myself starting to daydream I count to 5 in my head to end the daydream. I say in my head "OK you're daydreaming but its not healthy so by the end of these 5 seconds you'll carry about your day". Its really been working with me so I just wanted to share it!! Have a food day everyone :)

Dear Maladaptive Dreamers,



My name is Philip Dorrell.



As far as I know, I am a "normal" daydreamer.



The reason I wanted to join the "Wild Minds" network is because I am interested in ... Music.



Music is one of the fundamental unsolved mysteries of human nature. We don't know what music is, and we don't know why it exists.



Our knowledge of the existence of music is entirely subjective. The only way to know if a given sequence of sounds is musical…

i can't believe it's been almost a year since i last posted on here

i turn 18 next month and am starting college this fall, which is absolutely terrifying, but i'm dealing with it.

yes, i still have md-- it's the same as before and i guess it took me so long to post this because i haven't really had anything to say about it. i still pace, i still have the same characters, nothing new.

one thing that i was thinking about, though, is that i have had the same characters…

Before I start, I would like to blatantly say that the things I will put here are things that help me. I am not instructing people on how to control their daydreams, although what helps me could possibly help you. I am not writing this to let people know what will help them. Everyone has their own way of dealing with it, but I know it's hard to begin thinking about how to stop them or just control how often you daydream, so hopefully this post…

Hi everyone

I needed to write this blog to vent out, everything with me seems so f*****g messed up and I don't know what to do anymore. I'm sad, lonely and afraid and it's all because of this f*****g anxiety which is like a demon hellbent on ripping my life to shreds and keeping me in a state of eternal suffering. 

This week has been good, I went to a house party on Saturday with my friends and a few others and it was an awesome night that dragged on til' 6AM.…

Does anyone else have this where every once in a while, like perhaps once in a few months, my attachment to my characters, the settings, and stories, and their lives become intense. It's this... sickly feeling, like I'm on the verge of tearing up and I just HAVE to indulge in it hardcore. Find all the media related to my characters, listen to all the right songs etc.. It's like looking at a super beautiful painting with raw emotion, or a beautiful song. I'm writing this because I'm going…

hey everyone! i haven't been online much but there is something that i really wanted to share with someone and since i don't have anyone close enough to discuss this with i am sharing this on this website.

so basically i have been suffering from depression along with md for i long time now(im 18 by the way) and i have had suicidal thoughts for a while now. my result comes out tommorow and have been anxious for my marks. this year before my finals i was so stressed about my…
