Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Starting to see patterns

I am obsessed with figureing out why I DD about certain things. I think I am finally starting to see a pattern, at least with some themes. For example, at times when I am needing to be neutured I DD about a child, one who needs to be cared for. So I in the DD become the care giver, that I really need in real life. I finally made the connection yesterday when I was really angry at my husband for acting childish and not taking responiblity. That leaves me to be the "adult" in the relationship and bare all the worry and stress. All of a sudden my DD started to change, from a very different theme back to the child. I think my subconcious wants to have the burden lifted and someone share the load so I will feel safe. Well, I want that conciously too. But it does seem that the theme of my DD changes with my inner most needs. Now if I can only figure out what some of the other themes are telling me.

Comment by taffle on October 2, 2012 at 8:01am: I think I'm seeing patterns in my DDs too. I think the amount of intimacy in my DD correlates with my....menstrual cycle. Before my period, I get MDs that are romantic and "maternal".

Comment by Windy City Day Dreamer on October 2, 2012 at 6:15am: I also see patterns. I need more intimacy in my marriage so in the DD world I am not married but have a French partner who meets all of my intimacy needs. I also very creative in the DD world, but in real life I work in a corporate environment working on contracts. I think is I was more creative in my real life and had more intimacy in my real life I may not relay so much on MD.
