On daydreams and creativity

[Stefanie]

I have had MD as long as I can remember although it has gotten more intense in the last few years and is keeping me from the life I want to have.

I am also a very creative person and for a long time I believed that my daydreams are where my imagination comes from - that the reason I can built worlds in my mind within minutes is because I've had this 'training' with my daydreams. This is the main reason I am sometimes afraid of letting my daydreams go, because I fear that I'll lose that imagination part, that I'll lose my interest in writing all the stories I would like to tell.

I forced myself to go without daydreams for the past few days and found out that I was probably wrong. It's the other way around. My creativity doesn't come from my daydreams, instead it goes into them. I love to write, but I don't write often. Now I think that is because I use all of this creative energy I have to put into my daydreams instead of my other creative endeavours.

When I went without daydreaming longer than I usually do, I suddenly started creating again. When I told myself that I wasn't allowed to daydream and had to think of something to do instead, I started working on that novel again that I havn't looked at in six months. When I'm not busy dreaming something, I suddenly find it easier to just do it.
