Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
Hello ladies and gentlemen! What a brilliant night we have, perfect to introduce some new talents, the rising stars of our century! Please welcome:...
Okay, that was enough for playful introduction, let's get to business!
Browsing through this site I read some of your stories and experiences about MD. Quite a lot of you imagine her/himself in these daydreams as a famous person (actor/actress, singer, musican, writer etc.).
IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME, SKIP THIS PART->>>
I personally have different daydreams, some more fantasy like, some more realistic. When I was a child, I imagined myself as a powerful fantasy...something...queen, whatever. While I still have that daydream, I got older, and realised maybe I should write something, a fantasy book perhaps. At least I'd use my daydreaming to create something valuable. That doesn't mean I stopped daydreaming, no... My daydreams changed, and nowadays I daydream about anything, realistical situations, my characters old and new, even BEING A WRITER, giving an interview about my work. I do that a lot, and it calms me down.
--END OF BACKSTORY.
I thought about creating a video project, where you pretend to be your famous/powerful/dream self in an interview situation. Basically, you are the next star in the Graham Norton show (or any show you like). It's a game, where you can be your daydream self for five or ten minutes and talk about your work, dream life etc. Maybe we could make a youtube channel?
And now you're asking, why would I do that?
I think it can help, like a big creative group therapy. I don't know how to stop daydreaming, but I kind of hate being depressed because of my life. Because I compare it to my perfect daydream settings. Of course it is just a game where we pretend to be some character, but this way instead of sitting alone being trapped inside our heads, we could actually turn part of our daydreams into reality. No, of course it would not turn us into that perfect/desirable/other person, nor will it help to achieve that life. What I wan't - and I think this project can achieve that- is for you, to feel the confidence while you're that character. Because it is in you, all the greatness you imagine. A lot of you stated -I read this several times- when you had an exciting period in your lives you stopped daydreaming, because you felt good, you were the boss and you controled your life like you wanted. So, maybe this project-game can help with that.
ANYWAY, thank you for your time, reading this much from me must be boring! Please tell me your opinion about this idea, if you think I'm complete bonkers you're free to say that too!

Oh, wow! It's so nice seeing you excited about this! I thought the comment section would be filled with mental institution adresses for me by the time I get back : D. (Although that might come in handy, if I think about it.)
I'd love to do this nicely, so it would really feel like a show or something(?) that would be amazing!... I don't have much video editing experience, but who cares, no time like right now to learn it! It would be great if a lot of people would join in, maybe I go and make a Tumblr. page for it, so others could join in anytime...
*filmed, not filed. Gee. lol
Oh my GOSH I love this idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so excited. I would totally do this. I've sort of done this before to try to show my fiance what my daydream scenes looked like. I basically filed myself having a conversation as two characters, but this is infinitely better! It may seem like a better idea to people like me, who act out their fantasies, and speak the characters' parts. So in a sense, it'd just be like acting in front of a camera, as my main character.
I'M SO ON BOARD. Even if it's just you and me. I'd totally do this. You have no idea how exciting this is.
Shoot, I might make something RIGHT NOW that looks like a sort of interview thing, and post it. I've done that before where I pretend that I'm being interviewed. SO MUCH FUN. AHHH THIS EXCITES ME.
