Hi everyone.

Hope you're all looking forward to xmas, I know I am.

This is the first xmas where I've been able to pin point my daydreaming problem (I mean actually give it a name) and I'm intrigued to see whether I am distracted enough to put it to one side.

So far though, my daydreams have taken on a xmas theme, it's as though I'd rather live xmas in my head, which is a shame. I've been on a few nights out with friends for xmas too and noticed…

Hi.

I've been having pretty stressful daydreams lately. They've been all full of angst and drama like some sort of teen movie. I've been sort of wound up like a spring because everything I DD about is so emotional, I'm worn out. I don't know why I've been doing this. I've noticed I'm smoking more, it takes me longer to go to sleep and my face always looks like I'm worrying about some epic problem that I don't actually have.

My life is fine at the minute. I…

Has anyone ever had them? I get them quite often and was wondering if there was a connection. I'm usually almost asleep or awake but relaxed when they happen. Sometimes I can see, sometimes I can't. All sorts of things happen, I fall through the floor to the room downstairs or I go upwards through the roof and into the air.

Anyway, not everyone believes in this sort of thing. But it is all about a state of mind. When we go off into a DD it's almost like meditation. We go…

Today has been a bad day.

Throughout the night I dreamt about my DD characters in a complex story that was pretty adrenaline filled. When I woke (Lunchtime! After twelve hours sleep! It's like I'm trapped in my dreams) I lay awake and finished the story for about an hour. I then went to town on my day off to do a few errands etc and daydreamed the entire time. Then I got home and ate. And daydreamed constantly. So I'm a bit sick now.

I have an empty notebook I…

Sorry, I'm annoyed.

This might be slightly contradictory, because, my god, I don't suffer from MD as much as others here do.

So please please don't take this post into consideration if you suffer from MD really badly.

But I've noticed that from this forum that a lot of people here take the attitude that they simply can't function day to day with MD. They stay in, have no social life and basically have a dormant life.

Why? Is it…

You know how I said that I wanted to solve all of my DD characters' problems in the hope that they would disappear? Well, it worked. Then I spent a few days not thinking about them (there was no point). And I just daydreamed about other people, (a new daydream has started and I know it'll last for months). Anyway, I hate it when this happens. My DDs last a few months and then they change.

I hate the transition between one DD and another. It's like I fight the new one. Anyway,…

Hi!

I still don't know any of you yet. I'm new. And I was just wondering, from reading the posts... which of you are trying to quit the addiction of MD and which of you are quite happy to keep going and think it's beneficial? Or are some of you trying to keep going but make it more manageable at the same time?

I've noticed that most of us here fall into the first two categories, either trying to quit an addiction and very frustrated or love daydreaming and…

Hello. I'm Rachel and I just joined. I've been pretty quiet but have been reading all of your posts. I've been constantly daydreaming for years. Usually my DDs last for a few months and then I get new ones.

Anyway, lately I've been trying to stop but simply refusing to let my mind go there made me unhappy. Instead, what I've been trying to do is "complete" my character's life, solving her problems, making amends with other characters etc so that the story can't go anywhere.…
