Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I'm guessing the answer to this one is yes, but... ;)
Do you guys ever daydream about going back in time (intentionally or unintentionally) and reliving things differently? Making different choices? Giving certain people what-for?
I look back at highschool and say to myself, if I had known then what I know now, I could have really made some waves. And then that turns into a delightful romp of a daydream where I breeze through my classes, dress better, and use stronger language, lol.
Mind you, things DID turn out for the better eventually, but there was a couple of years there that looking back I wouldn't mind redoing with a little bit more dignity.
I suppose that's true with a lot of things. :)

I love to time-travel, but not so much in my own life. My favorite (but far from only) is with a Native American - Dakota Sioux - and his tribe back when whites were just beginning to encroach. Sometimes I know what I know now & sometimes not.
Laila, one of my old scenarios is someone with the underground railroad, probably Quaker, helping runaway slaves escape. Maybe we know each other in our DD's. How cool is that!
Yes! =P But then my daydream turns into something like Back to The Future III. I like to daydream how people would react to me in the 1800s, like my clothes, ipod, techno music, the way I talk, etc. Usually the way it goes is that I get special treatment from a slave owner or the king. Somehow, I end up making a big difference in history. Lincoln is saved. =D I also explore the same scenario through one of my main daydream characters, who is a white abolitionist, befriends Harriet Tubman, and takes care of two former slave children.
I also daydream about what would happen if I suddenly woke up in the year 1993 in my 5-year old body. I try to convince my parents that I'm 23-years old inside, and I easily pass a test to graduate from High School. Sometimes it goes further back...like I'm a baby genius.
Yeah, my head is really in the clouds... o_O
