Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
OK, I'm just wondering, does anyone here know any songs/song lyrics/poetry/quotes/phrases/titles or anything else like that that reminds your of daydreaming or of your MD? Here are some of mine:
She lives in a fairytale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
The first four lines of the song Brick By Boring Brick by Paramore. This songs also says, 'Keep your feet on the ground/When your head's in the clouds' which I find very good advice!
Dream on dreamer
And the sun will always shine down on you
Keep on dreaming
It's alright, feel alive
Dream on dreamer
And the world keeps spinning around and around (you go)
Don't stop dreaming
It's alright to feel alive
The chorus of Dream on Dreamer by Cascada. This is the song I listen to when I feel guilty about my MD - it makes me feel better about it.
I live my daydreams in music. ~Albert Einstein. OK, this actually freaked me out a bit. I was searching 'daydreaming quotes', and this came up! Could Einstein have been... one of us? Lol, that sounded like... I dunno, like we're evil or something. Lol.
Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare. ~H.F. Hedge. I actually found this a bit stupid. Hasn't he ever heard of DAYDREAMING? What an insult! Well, we should all be a Dante or Shakespeare, then. Lol.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
I don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
The 1st verse from Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. It might not make perfect sense, but this is how it talks to me: the lonely road is basically the path I walk everyday, through my daydreams. It's lonely because no one is actually there except me, plus I can't change the song. It's 'the only one that I have ever known' because it is. I've spent pretty much my whole life DDing. And I don't know where it goes because, simply, I don't. It's home to me, that's so true, my DDing is home to me.
The next verse-y thing is basically me remembering all the DDs I don't DD anymore. Boulevard of broken dreams is a great way to put it. The broken dreams I don't DD anymore. 'When the city sleeps' everyone from my old DDs aren't paying attention so I can visit them quickly without waking them up so they make me feel guilty that I don't DD them anymore. I always wake them up though. Lol.
OK, I probably have more, but the bad cold I have and the sleep I haven't been getting lately are causing my memory to malfunction.
Does anyone else have any others?

I saw this post a few days ago but couldn't respond at the time. It's funny because I've always wanted to post a topic like this but just never did. The first song that comes to mind is "Imaginary" by Evanescence (which was already mentioned by Emily) Also:
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
"Coma White" by Marilyn Manson
Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control
"Serenity" by Godsmack
Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my world
"My World" by Avril Lavigne
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
"Somewhere I Belong" Linkin Park
I love how music and MD go so well together. <3
