Yes, a lot. It appears that I show a lot more emotion when I daydream or react to something I read, than when I actually interact with anyone.
As a child I even acted them out, as if playing, but I was daydreaming.
I still have to make an effort not to show too much emotion when I daydream around people. I probably slip some times. Just the other day I couldn't help giggling about a daydream when my mother and I was on the same room.
Thankfully I don't speak out loud. I can sometimes be so lost in the dream that I might reply with what I would say in the daydream when someone talks to me. It's the same when I'm really into a game, book or movie/series.

The music helps me get lost in my mind
It's the same for me. I also find when I'm out that walking stimulates it and I start walking faster without noticing. My mother has been aware of that for a long time and when it happens when we're together she says: "Bye!" or "Now she's dreaming again."
