Do you daydream a lot?

Post Reply New Topic

LupaLuna I do everything you do including the computation/sim thing.

Most of the time i say.

Yes, all the time. Before I had to work, pretty much constantly. I'm better now. Growing up daydreaming was all I had. Having to deal with people in real life took a long time to get use to. I prefer my fantasyland, though. It's very complex.

Of course I do. I spend the majority of my time daydreaming. In early elementary school the difference between my daydreams and the outside world was blurred. For a while I thought I could heal people but as a child that was acceptable. I learned otherwise by grade 4 or 5 but I continued to daydream.

I can get so immersed in a daydream that I forget what's going on around me. I temporarily forget there are people around me and that the real world even exists. If the daydream is funny I might laugh or smile and it would appear from a third person looking at me that I was laughing at nothing. As soon as I laugh or make a hand-gesture I snap back to the real world because I suddenly think "wait a second, where am I". I check to see if anybody is around that could've noticed something and then I go back into the dream world if I feel like I got away with it.

Yes, I daydream. Whenever I have a calm moment, I'lll let my mind wonder and it will often go to strange places. I actually have to put in a concious effort if I want it to stop.

It's essentially a job requirement for being a novelist.

It's rarer for me to be out of my head than to be in it

I used to do ^that^ all the time, I still do to a certain extent....but that aspect of my day dreaming mostly occurred when I was younger (4 years old to 17).

I've always been a day dreamer though. In school I would quite literally day dream the entire time in class. Unless the teacher was talking about a particular subject I was really interested in, my mind was elsewhere. Counting tiles, doing equations, coming up with "inventions", building things in my mind, pondering questions about life, replaying scenarios in my head over and over, doing the fibonacci sequence in my mind (before I even knew what it was, I had no clue, I just liked that sequence of numbers), and just generally spacing out.


I think my teachers would of liked me to pay attention more, but I always did well in school so they never said a whole lot other than occasionally asking for my attention. Talking with my mom recently, she said many of my teachers would comment on how well I did in class and how quiet & behaved I was, but said I was the spaciest day dreamer student they've ever had.

I day dream. Not as much as the other people on this post, but still everyday. I usually do it when I'm listening to music or moving, or both. My favorite thing to day dream about is video games. My least favorite thing to day dream about is movies. Especially movies that make you think or are open ended or movies that I just plain don't like. For instance, I don't like the idea of children killing each other as a form of entertainment in the Hunger Games and thus I've thought about that movie a lot. Like what if the forest eventually got haunted by the malevolent souls of the children that died there.

I am so glad to find out that I'm not the only one who daydreams about videogames and similar things. I often find myself making up new story lines for them.

Yes I do it alot more than I should.

It's more common for me to be daydreaming than to be in the real world. I spent most of my school days daydreaming unless I was reading or was interested in what the teacher had to say, and it hasn't changed much over the years. There have been several times where I've been jolted out of a daydream and I spend the next few minutes trying to figure out how I got here and why all these people suddenly look so different than just a second ago. It's almost like my fantasy world becomes a ghost town that everything in the real world can pass through and it makes for a very surreal experience most of the time. Like seeing one world overlaid on top of the other one so that you can see them both at the same time.

"Just because I'm here doesn't mean I'm here here." has become a common saying of mine since I can't control when I switch from one reality to another.

iam doing it right now as i type i do it when iam studying for a test before and during conversations iam having when diving constantly. Daydreaming has ruined my life no matter where iam at or what iam doing i day dream only when iam fighting or having good sex can i really keep from daydreaming.

I daydream probably 98% of the time I am awake. When I am at work, I daydream. When I am at home I daydream/websurf/daydream/rehearse music/daydream. And then daydream myself to sleep at night. At some point I MUST stim while I daydream. Stimming while daydreaming is like Heroine.

i daydream lots. when i have a good one i'll look forward to going to sleep so i can daydream before/while falling asleep

All. The. Time.
