Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Comment
I am just like you! This one time my mum disturbed me and I couldn't get back into my daydream before she disturbed me. Like how Jennifer described it. Me and my sister share a room and I always DD before I sleep and sometimes she just wants to talk I always have to tell her I'm tired, I want to sleep. I hate lying but I just want to be left alone.
What you said about the hill thing, well in my DD, it doesn't happen much any more but I would find that I couldn't get in a car or even into my own house. Some things are just hard to do and I would always think why cant I do this. Sometimes at night, like if I'm sleeping on my right side and I turn over to my left, its like the angle in my DD changes, so I kind of have to move around in my DD to get back in the old angle I was in. I dont know if its just me that does that though LOL
I do the same exact thing. No worries, you're definitely not alone. :) I HATE being interrrupted when I'm daydreaming. It drives me INSANE. I would never actually snap at anyone who interrupts me, but I definitely glare that them, haha! I feel like after I'm snapped back into reality, and I start to daydream again, I can't get my daydream to the depth that it was before...It's not as "vibrant" or "strong." I hope that makes sense. :P Anyways, it has been awhile, but I'm back!! :D
Yeah! that's happened to me a couple times too, like you want to dd this but it doesn't happen how you want it to happen. Like instead of sitting on the hill the character might like walk and then kind of sink into the hill.
I agree with the first thing you mentioned 100%.. I live on campus during the semester with roommates and they always seem to want to have my attention when my headphones are on (or maybe I just always have them on). Usually then I am not quite daydreaming but I'm in a daydream state if that makes sense, and just want to be left alone. Sometimes I'm not though, so I either snap or am really receptive to them when they talk to me with headphones on so it probably really confuses them.
As far as not being able to daydream some things, when I was younger I remember a few times trying to dream of someone on a bike but they couldn't go in a straight line or they kept sinking in the ground and weird weird stuff like that. I'm not sure if that's what you mean, but that never seems to happen to me anymore, or at least it hasn't for a while. Unfortunately I can't daydream in public, I know I could if I really wanted to but I don't allow myself to for some reason. /: I want to start daydreaming in waiting rooms and at the gym and such now that I'm getting older but I think it's going to take some time.
