Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
I often daydream about being the World's greatest, most creative, most respected, most haunting, super-legendary, aspiring, inimitable, audience manipulating, perfect, god-like, tyrannical, unforgettable, mentally insane, Oscar-winning, award-winning, auteur, and gut-wrenching Japanese-American computer animation masterpiece-maker , cinephile, movie buff, film critic, author, digital artist, comic book artist, stop motion masterpiece-maker, anime masterpiece-maker, video game designer/creative director/producer/writer, and anime TV creator/producer/writer/director/showrunner ever lived.
I also daydream of possessing the skills, powers, and abilities of some of the most legendary, haunting, unforgettable, tyrannical, auteur, and masterful filmmakers and animation directors of all time while inside of this colossal dream universe. With 33 filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Quinten Tarantino, Peter Jackson, Hayao Miyazaki, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, John Ford, Clint Eastwood, Tim Burton, John Huston, Pete Docter, Genndy Tartakovsky, Chris Miller, Phil Lord, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton, Henry Selick, Howard Hawks, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Frank Capra, Billy Wilder, Roman Polański, Satyajit Ray, and François Truffaut.
With my name labeled as the auteur director, screenwriter, theatrical release poster artist, producer, executive producer, art director, film editor, and music composer for all 100 of my Oscar-winning and award-winning stop motion animated films, computer animated films, and anime films, with me having complete control over all aspects and elements of all 100 of these Oscar-winning films of mine.
As an Oscar-winning Japanese-American masterpiece-maker inside of this dream universe, I also love to tease and manipulate the theater audiences with all of my fetishes, with me having both a foot fetish, and a navel fetish. I mainly would always do close up shots and tracking shots of all the female characters feet and navels in all of my computer animated anime films. I mainly do this just for a joke, but I daydream that all of the male foot fetishist are sitting bolt upright on their theater seats, which makes me laugh.
Not only am I the masterpiece-maker that is above all filmmakers, but I am also the absolute ruler and leader of my all cinema-based dream universe, with me having everything and owning every single last thing that exist inside of this colossal dream universe.
With the entire dream universe having humongous cinema-based mansions, gift shops, theaters, stores, malls, museums, restaurants etc. everywhere inside the colossal dream universe, with my life being an all cinema-based version of Solomon's life, with my net worth being over $900 trillion USD. With me also living inside of a colossal underground cinema palace up in Canada, with everything cinema-based inside of the palace.
Inside of this dream universe, all of my animated films will have perfect 10/10, 100%, and 5/5 ratings. With all of them getting truck-loads of Oscars and other film awards. Which would probably be the main reason why I never watch any of my Films and animes.
With me also having and owning an 8 foot tall Film award that has the Earth's globe on top of it, that weighs over 250 pounds, and the words written in cursive, "The World's Greatest Masterpiece-maker, Emanuel Allen".
I also own a colossal and deeply successful film and animation studio named "Allen Pictures Animation", which in my universe is the greatest and most successful film and animation studio of all time. With the studio gaining a total worth of over $950 trillion USD. And also owning a deeply successful video game production company, named "Allen Motion Picture Games", because of all of the 10 award-winning video games based on all 10 of my absolute greatest stop motion and computer animated films being EXACTLY like the Films themselves.
All of my Oscar-winning and award-winning stop motion animated films, computer animated films, computer animated anime films, video games, and anime TV programs are so good and so powerful, they would give worldwide audiences and gamers heart attacks, seizures, illnesses, and much much more.
All cinephiles, movie buffs, movie lovers, film critics, film directors, filmmakers, animation directors, actors, actresses etc. living inside of this colossal dream universe know exactly who I am and what I do. And they all deeply respect me for it, even all of the other filmmakers and film directors who are in my fantasy dream universe.
I just wanted to know does anyone else ever fantasize about something like this? I want to know so I'm not alone.

This is common, to daydream that you are a beloved person, with terrific skills and other assets (ie. money, love, power, etc.). It's called a Mary-Sue / Marty-Stu character. Yours is the first time I've seen someone daydream of being a filmmaker, as usually people fantasize that they're the actors themselves. :) Nevertheless, your greatness is trumped by no one, and you are effortlessly this amazing person in the eyes of the world.
It's common for maladaptive daydreamers to create these scenarios, as it's a boost to their emotions, something we really do need, especially at the time when we choose to daydream it. They make us happy, or they soothe us.
Just a separate thought: I have often wondered how many great filmmakers and writer there are out there who were closeted maladaptive daydreamers. People like Stephen King or Martin Scorsese. In fact, Scorsese has said in an interview that I saw once that he needed intensified loud music in order to create a film to see it in his mind. This is no doubt a usual trait for a maladaptive daydreamer. He was also a bit of a perfectionist, and extremely passionate about how he saw things. He was protective of his visual mind and what he thought something should be like on film. Very maladaptive-daydreamy.
I say this because maybe you shouldn't discredit what you think you have as a talent. If you think you have stories that can become great films, why not look into screenplay-writing?
All the time. Often the only way I can get to sleep at night is to fantasize about being massively successful, wealthy, etc. You’re definitely not alone.
