Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

FOUND A MOVIE INVOLVING MD.

I watched a movie last night that I had a theory that the characters had MD. I had not seen the movie in YEARS so I decided to rewatch it to see if I was right. And I was right XD. This movie was made by Disney and was originally a book in the first place. Some schools even have their kids read this book as an assignment.

The movie I am talking about is 'The Bridge to Teribithia. It is about a kid who lives in a world that is wanting him to limit his imagination and stop 'living in the clouds'. But he meets a girl who opens up his mind and he learns to live with the reality and his imagination.

Now I do not mean this to be 'movie review post'. But I sincerely think that the two characters have something like MD. They fight creatures that are a part of their imaginations and they even find a troll/giant (never found out what it was).

I just decided to share what I thought about this movie because I thought it was kind of cool that I found a movie that had characters with MD ^.^

Comment by Lizzie Wanderlust on April 26, 2012 at 8:14am: That's a great movie... But I am still not convinced that it has anything to with MD. I agree with Elude... Imagining worlds is pretty normal for children. I used to play "House" with five other children when I was around the age of seven. None of the other children, as far as I know, had MD. They were the ones who actually had to tell me, when we turned twelve, that they were much to old for the game. Most kids have an imagination, and play games where they create their own worlds... That does not mean they have MD.

The boy was doing the same as the girl and he was negatively impacted. But the girl had basically the perfect family life. The iagination did not have to be restrained.
