Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Do you have a name for your Dream World?

Personally, I dont have a name but I was just curious as to if others have a name for their fantasy world and what do they call it? So feel free to reply what you call it. Thanks :)

Yes I do. My dream world is called Aspergeria (as-spehr-JEER-ee-uh). I named it that because I believe that if I hadn't been born with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of high-functioning autism), my world would not have been as intense nor as elaborate as it is. I may not have even had a world at all.

At first I loved the name, but then I realized that it is kind of a misnomer because of the fact that most of the characters who live there don't have autistic disorders (though some of them have traits), and the way my world operates wouldn't be representative of the worlds of other autistic people who may have MD. However, by the time I realized this, the name had already stuck and I could not come up with a better alternative. Also, when I shared the name of my world with my mom and brother, they absolutely loved it and told me not to change it. So Aspergeria it was, is, and always will be. :)

I have no idea what to call one of my more interesting dreamworlds xD

I was reading a book about a steampunk world, where space travel was invented in the 1700s so my daydream world is about that place about 200 years later in the 1970s and 80s. Despite the fact that it's our past, the world is extremely technologically advanced and I have people from the 1800s traveling forward in time to the 70s.
