Thanks!  I'm a real shy person and Iove to daydream.

Thank you for the welcome Cordellia.  I'm quite excited and little anxious to have found this place :]

Thanks very much. I think this is going to be helpful.

Thank you, Cordellia!   I'm so happy to have found your site, which I first learned about yesterday while reading an article on daydreaming in Scientific American Mind magazine.

 

 

and thank you Cordellia

Thanks for welcoming me, I'm thrilled I found this network!!

Thank you for the welcome. :)

where do I do that?

Thanks.

What you said is thoughtful.

Could I ask you a question that when you are daydreaming, could you see the images clearly or just vaguely?

Thanks.

I am training myself to acquire a clear imagination which can help me a lot in some aspects, but the Scientific American Mind shows negative perspective toward daydreaming. I am wondering whether I am right.

Thank you!

Do I just ask the question?  Create a discussion. 

 

 

This is the first time, I've seen anything like this.   You mean I'm not alone?  I've been doing this on and off for years.  I do lots of volunteer work and I am a great grandmother.  I've decided that daydreaming helps me if I can be kinder to real people.  I have this ongoing dialogue with God or Buddha about being present in the moment vs daydreaming.

thank you Cordellia for making this great network!!! I didn't even know there was a name for excessive daydreaming, let alone a website where people can gather and talk about it

No problem, thanks for creating this network!

Thanks : )

I didn't mean to make it sound like I was calling this one of those disorders. It has more to do with the history of the other forum, which is based on a personality type for introverted people (based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). Many of the people on that forum have at one time or another wondered if our social ineptitude was because of some sort of personality disorder (autism spectrum, schitzotypal etc), and I was attempting to preface my thread by saying that MD wasn't just me diagnosing myself with another personality disorder in an attempt to explain my introvertedness.

I hope you don't mind, I advertised this site on another forum I post on: http://www.intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=9518

I agree about the article. It definitely resonated with me, and your story was very inspiring.
