Jolt Of Reality

[Haleigh]

Does anyone ever start pacing, or just get into a really deap DD, and then you get a jolt of reality? I slow down and start to look around me like I'm lost, then the music my iPods playing seems to get 10x louder. My skin also starts to prickle with cold. I also feel like I'm going to cry because I realize (once again) my DDs will NEVER be real.

That happens to me when I'm walking somewhere and daydreaming, I mean not the prickling skin, but the sudden jolt of reality.  I get confused as to where I am and where I'm going, and it takes me a while to rejoin with reality.  I hate when it happens.

Often when I'm daydreaming, it will suddenly hit me: "This is not real. Why are you doing this?" All of a sudden, I see the room I'm in, the objects around me, and me sitting there—like I'm seeing all this for the first time and I don't know what to do with myself. The silence is deafening. I think about what somebody would think of me if they knew about my daydreaming, and then I become ashamed. Sometimes while I'm acting out my daydreams, I find myself repeating the same sentence over and over again (for some reason I feel the need to do this) and this can wake me up and make me realize how silly it is.

It happens when I start daydreaming something very "real".

Like a conversation or an intense argument. Urgh..

Yes I hate that!!! Usually I'll be making movements with my earphones in and I'll suddenly worry that people can hear me/know what I'm up to and suddenly stop. Kinda sucks eh jolt of reality
