Characters in your daydreams

[Ella]

Hello everybody! I've been silently observing this website after my first blog post and you guys all seem so nice. I feel like I can say anything and what a wonderful feeling that is. So i'm curious, do you guys have characters that inhabit the world of your daydreams? If so, do you relate to them? For some reason all the characters in my daydreams are male. I actually have a hard time daydreaming about female characters unless it's myself in someway. The male characters I daydream about are not really like me at all. They each have aspects  I wish I had! One is handsome and confident, the other smart in the world of science and math, and the list goes on. I don't see them in a sexual light at all. I don't really know why my brain decided to create and hold onto male characters. What about the rest of you? I would love to hear about your characters. It's one of the things that makes my DD's a blissful haven to return to.

well,I have daydreams about females,about having a friend who lives in another country,my friendship with her started since our childhood.I think I imagine such a friend because my friends travel away and our friendship fades.I have daydreams about  two males,one is a friend who's a co-work,he's psychiatrist and he listens to me patiently and put up with mood swings and strange behavior.The other one is a businessman, he's much like Christian Grey from fifty shades trilogy,with omission of his over erotic behavior.I don't imagine any of them in a sexual way,I just keep making scenarios with them,and imagine how will they react when I tell them about troubles and the events that I encounter in my daily life.

La serina: that is interesting that you mentioned that, I have not really had a father figure in my life either. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Laila: you and me are very similar! I do that with my characters too! They switch jobs, personalites, everything. I do have some characters that only get the smart label as well as anything else my mind feels like conjuring up haha. But for the most part, they're just handsome canvases that I fill with a story

My main characters are also male (and very handsome too!). Kevin and Dan are in a relationship, but I frequently change their ages, personalities, personal lives, and occupations. It's as if they have a thousand souls stored in their bodies lol! So there is never a need to create new main characters. There are some female characters here and there, but they only appear when it's convenient (and often die...). As for me, I'm just a spectator, watching their drama-filled lives unfold like I'm watching TV.

I have male and female characters but the main character is female. I'm not in my daydream im more of a actress playing out the main character. I'm really attached to her though shes how i wished i looked but has my personality, like the beautiful girl whose really nice and weird. I feel like over the years the other characters have changed but she kind of stayed and when i stopped trying to daydream ( why i dont know) i just felt lonely and empty, im not sure if this was a withdrawal symptom or not but im back to daydreaming lol

my main characters have always been girls...i dont know why. Maybe because they were all ideal versions of myself. but i have plently of boy characters too- but usually because they know the girl character in some way.

It's interesting to see that other MDers aren't "friends" with their characters. I am myself in my daydreams (so obviously I relate to myself, lol!) and me and one of my characters are absolute best friends. I mostly daydream about the two of us, but my family is also in my daydreams a lot, as well as other fictional people. My family is no different than they are in reality, as in, I can't relate to them, I feel awkward around them, and we don't often see eye-to-eye—which is interesting, considering that people normally fantasize about how they want things to be, and you'd expect that I'd have the most amazing relationship with my family in my daydreams, but that's not the case. In my daydreams, I really only have one true friend, and even people outside my family who are sorta friends are hard to relate to. I think this is because, in my daydreams, I'm really no different than I am in reality. I look the same, feel the same, act the same, but I have the most amazing friend and that's what makes my world so special. :)

I dont really have much of distinction on which gender I can create seeing how its easy reagardless but but I am more comfertable creating members of the other sex because thinking about my own gender is a little akward in my opinion.

My main characters are male too. They are a scientist, a soldier, a student a poet. Women have only additional roles. It is strange, but I could sign what Ella, LaSerena and Soul Dreamer have written. The male characters have qualities I'd like to have and  I have no sexual interest in them. They seem to be the opposite of me.

All of my characters are male as well, except for one incredibly under developed female character who I don't really like all that much. None of them are anything like me, really. They sort of embody and exaggerate one trait of mine each. Also, they all oddly have dark hair (except for one who is albino), are good looking, pretty much geniuses of some type of intelligence, are left handed (except another one who is ambidextrous), and athletic. Like you, I don't have any sexual interest in them or anything like that. They're too much a part of me to even be seen as friends.
