-i see a lot of people here saying that they daydream about literally fictional stories, like imaginary creatures and stuff, but my daydreams consist of me in the future, like a better version of myself, and how i would like myself to be a few years from now or even how am i gonna act at an event that i have the next day, does anyone here have the same kind of daydreams? 

and im wondering which is worse, having daydreams about an idealized version of yourself, or having daydreams which consist imaginary creatures and such things ? 

- every little thing somehow leads me to start daydreaming, i watch a movie i daydream about the events in the movie happening to me, i listen to a song i daydream about me writing or singing the song, i read a book i daydream me being the main character, and i daydream before falling asleep (i think this one's noraml ) and once i wake up, and it got to the point where if i have nothing to do i would just walk around the house and daydream.

and i've tried to stop but i can't, its becoming a habit to me, like all of a sudden i find myself daydreaming

anything i can that helps me stop daydreaming ? 

thanks in advance.

My daydreams are of a race of beings seperate from humans but equally as intelligent and ever developing. I've even created a language for them, part of which will be recorded in my album.

I often can't help but walk about and daydream; I do so about the book I'm writing and the songs I'm making: dreaming they might be successful or even in their story line. I try not to taint my knowledge with other forms of media. I try to watch less tv and read only books that inspire me to write(Lovecraft). I wish I could enrich more but until my book and it's brother album is finished I have no choice.

I am the same way. My daydreams are usually made up of people I know in real life and just about me being who I wish I was. Which is really frustrating because I could so easily just live them.

I've had this problem ever since I can remember. Sometimes I do better than others, some days if I try with all my will, I can probably go through the day with only 30 minutes of daydreaming. One thing I do that's kind of weird but helps me stop when I catch my mind wandering off is just notice absolutely anything about my surroundings and make really basic observations and it just helps me ground myself and get back to reality.

But one advantage is that my daydreams are more entertaining, or at least for me. I would probably find realistic daydreams very boring.

[The1andonlyAbber]

I dunno...I daydream about fictional stuff. I'm not sure which is worse because I've never daydreamed about realistic things. I almost never have "normal" daydreams, which is actually pretty strange. For me, one major problem is that my daydreams can never become reality and so are very uninspiring (and probably more addictive, too). Also, they make reality seem very colorless in comparison.

Ye, I am more like you. Especially with the song thing. I have authored many songs in my daydreams!! Sometimes I am the writer being interviewed or other times I am the singer on stage. Ye, that's just one form of the daydreams, but they are always the same: I am the focus. 

I personally think this is worse than those that create imaginary worlds with intricate plots etc. Or let me just say that the way I do it is worse. What do you think? I would rather be the latter - the creative type of daydreamer. Christopher Paolini used to daydream about the world of Eragon, so that has some use. The only positive for my type of daydream is that it can show me what I want to do. It led me to start songwriting and even recording and that was satisfying. But I seem to enjoy daydreaming more than actually doing some of this stuff! (hate to admit that)

In terms of stopping, try different things. Experiment. You will find tricks that work. The hard part is the will to actually do them. I know what works for me and when I do it I can avoid dd, but there are times when I can't follow my own rules.
