Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Music, MD, Fantasy

Whenever I listen to some music, md starts as usual. It's not the music I enjoy, it's the fantasy associated with the music. The fantasy is always about me singing the song being played , mostly with a guitar. I am surrounded by my friends and other people who I want to be there. They are listening and they are lost in my singing. If it's a sad song, I even dream about some(esp girls) people sobbing.
If the music I am listening is of dancing type, then the fantasy is about me being in a club or a party and I'm dancing to the beat and even doing some special moves such as the moonwalk. Sometimes I'm dancing with a girl. Bottom line, I'm being the centre of attention.
I'm not a singer nor a good dancer. I do play guitar but I'm not good at it. I can only play some easy chords. And I cannot sing. I was about to take singing lessons thinking that it will help to reduce my fantasy. But I backed out. I have no one to share this problem. I do have good friends but I don't think they will understand the situation I'm in. I think they will laugh and make fun about it. I don't know what should I do.

Comment by Queen Dopamine on January 15, 2014 at 6:24am: I'm sorry it's so distracting. I hope you find a way to balance everything out!

Comment by Neeraj Anonymous on January 15, 2014 at 6:19am: Thank you everyone for the support and comment. It would be great to be able to sing and dance but it is not what I want. I have different aim in my life and the fantasy is causing nothing but distraction. So I want to get rid of it. Hope one day I will.....

Comment by Queen Dopamine on January 13, 2014 at 9:39am: I'm totally there with you. Even though I don't play myself in my fantasies, my characters do play music. My longest-running daydream themes are those where my characters are playing music for their family, who are watching intently, enjoying it, and being impressed, etc. And my characters are on stage together, having a good time with each other, really getting into the moment, even sharing some banter between songs like you see at real concerts and such. It's really awesome.

I used to do more of what you're talking about, where I'm doing something that's the center of attention, and everyone else watches me and thinks I'm "so cool" for my kick ass dance moves or whatever else!

Actually, my daydreams inspired me to start doing youtube videos for dancing. And I'd like to really get into guitar once I buy a guitar some day.

Comment by Mишка (Miska) on January 12, 2014 at 4:59pm: Don't give up!（＾∇＾）I was able to make a song after about... FOREVER! I love the song I made because, it is mine and also it kind of gives of the feels of my Mdd world lol the lyrics don't make too much sense but they are supposed to be confusing. I made the song a LONG while back but I'm always proud of it. Here's a link to the song and my youtube channel if you wanna see other stuff I posted(the otherstuff is edited versions of original songs) I use vocaloid software to sing in the music because I can't sing myself（≧∇≦）
