Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I finally realized that my MD is about being a hero and rescuing others in their time of need. But my MD wasn't the cause of it, it was a reflection. In my daydreams, I rescued the one I admired from her boyfriend who broke her heart. In reality, I lived through her problems and was constantly worried about trying to 'fix' her and be her hero like I did in my dreams. I now discovered that I have Co-dependency. In my dreams I COULD be a hero, and be admired for it and be shown gratitude. But in the real world, I am controlling. It's amazing how much your dreams can tell about you, and I haven't realized it until now.

Thanks for sharing. I also DD about rescuing others and I think I have codependency too.
Well-said! :D
It is amazing how many things one knows about themselves, just refuses to see them out of the DDs. This doesn't mean you cannot ever be a hero, of course, or that it is bad wanting to feel appreciated. It is what anyone would normally like, if you ask me :)
Btw have you seen this link? http://gettinbetter.com/addiction.html It reminded me of what you just said...Eretaia showed it to me some time ago and I found it quite helpful.
Jennifer, I see nothing unusual. You want more fame and people around you at the moment, so you DD about it. Good luck on chasing your dream, by the way :)
"It's amazing how much your dreams can tell about you, and I haven't realized it until now."
^This is a really meaningful sentence to me! I wouldn't have been able to come up with that by myself. I think it's great that you were able to realize that on your own. :)
Since I'm still only 15 years old, and am not really sure who I am, or even what I want to be for that matter, I'm not sure what my daydreams reveal about me. In my daydreams, I'm a 17 year old quiet, Gothic, singer/musician, and I have an amazing boyfriend and friends. I have over a trillion fans supporting my band and me alone, and I am really, really happy. In real life, I'm a 15 year old, semi-quiet, Gothic singer/musician, and I have a Facebook Fanpage for my music, and I have over 180 likes. I wonder what my daydreams reveal about myself?
Thanks M Hunter :-) Same to you
