So when I daydream nothing bad ever happens to me. I am always the " bad guy" doing bad things to other people. Often it is random people I don't even know. It is weird but, I find I can only…Continue

Have you ever been traumatized by your own imagination?I've tried to focus my daydreams into positive stories. But, in truth that seems impossible. Even the ones that start out light turn dark. …Continue

I've also had negative direction daydreams. And it's usually right after something bad happens in real life. Example, when a girl I've had a one sided crush on had rejected me, it led to me DDing that I'm an incel unworthy of love and all that nasty stuff. So yeah, real life negative incidents can lead to your daydreams steering in the wrong direction.
I go through phases where I day dream negative things, sometimes i'll imagine myself getting attacked and raped, or involved in a natural disaster, or getting hit by a bus or something like that, but it's never my fault. It happens a lot when I watch programmes or films about certain things and i'll put myself in the place of the main character.
Hmmm... yeah I do that. Sometimes I daydream about VERY dark stuff, and I hate it, it makes me feel guilty, but i still do it anyway and I have no idea why. I'm never involved in these daydreams, is just my characters experiencing insane amounts of abuse, things that terrify me and would make me sick if i saw them in movies or books. Sometimes I use the content of these daydreams to the actual storyline, sometimes I just daydream dark garbage just for the sake of daydreaming dark garbage and I don't know, it makes me feel messed up. But everything always has a happy ending I guess...
***Also, in no way shape or form do I want my family members or anyone actually hurt. I know that my daydreams are fake (of course), and hope my comment did not come off as if I have intentions or truly desire harm to others, b/c I don't.
Yes I definitely negative daydream. I daydream about family members dying like my dad or him having a heart attack or my sister getting into a car accident...mainly so I can daydream about people feeling bad for me or sorry for me. It's frustrating that I daydream these types of things to feel better. It's stupid. Sometimes my daydreams get oddly specific like I have another recurring one where I have this older half-brother who I haven't seen in forever who is a half-brother b/c my mom was raped when she was younger but couldn't keep him and I end up meeting him now in life. UGH it sounds psychotic typing it out but yeah :/ I guess I also have daydreams about chewing people out/yelling at them and for some reason that makes me feel better. Wish I wasn't so angry. Dk what the deal is. I want a better outlet than daydreaming.
I think I do this a lot. I daydream about negative interactions with people. Even though, a majority of them turn out good, and even if they don't their not as in my head. I'm so worried I'll say the wrong thing. I also imagine people are in the shadows, looking to harm me. I sometimes daydream that I'm in a crowded place, someone has a gun, and I'm trying to help them realize they don't have to kill everyone. My daydreams often get very dark if I'm alone for too long.
