yeah, i daydream a lot too. what i particularly dislike about it, is that i am much more vulnerable in this state of mind.. i get caught of guard if someone interacts with me in one way or another (e.g. a stranger may bump into me) and my responses are automated.
i cannot control it, but my fantasy world isnt fun at all, i used to put lot of my time into "what-if" imagery, however in reality things havent been going well for me, so now i dont even like imagining best case scenarios, because they never actually happen.
everyone dies, but not everyone lives...

Yes. I always do this to kill time. They make me happy and there aren't to many things that do that for me anymore, so I spend probably a good two hours a day just staring at a wall and thinking of how things could be.

Day Dreaming

Postby Fragment Shadow » Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:13 am

When it comes to classic fantasy type daydreaming, I find a lot of it can be "exercised" by listening to music. My own soundtrack if you will. Eventually this actually may be a productive activity if I can find the discipline to write these daydreams down. They've developed into a series consistent stories over the years. But what's odd is that most of my day-dreaming is thinking of practical solutions that really have nothing to do with me or am not able to put to use. This takes us a lot of my mental attention and may be related to ADHD.
