I am new and I can't beleive I have a name for what I have been doing my whole life. I am 32 years old now and quarantined in my house at the moment. I am with my family but I am struggling with keeping myself present with my kids at the mo. My problem is water, i can spend hours pouring water over and over whilst I am stuck in my head. I know if I need to wash up I will end up stuck there and won't get anything else done. It's always been water for me that triggers it. But when I was a child it was also a little pony doll. I would stand in my room and play with its hair for hours on end, shaking my hand as I did it. It could be after I had watched a film, or read a book but also could be meeting someone. I would name all my future children. Get lost in the about a particular made up day etc etc. I read a lot of books but even as I was reading I would play wihr the edge of the page and as i did that I would change the names of all the characters or take the characters and put them in my own story. I don't know when it started but I feel as though I don't remember much of my real life childhood. Just snippets. It's all become so mixed up in my head. My mum knew I was doing something odd but I used to change the subject if anyone spoken to me about it ever. Anyway sorry for the verbal diarrhoea. I've never spoken to anyone about this or even known it was a thing. It's just good to write it down in fact.

Hi welcome to the forum,
Whilst stimming during dd is very common I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using water to do it so you're definitely unique in that way!
Hopefully you will find some posts you can relate to and suggestions on the forum to help you find ways to lessen and control the amount of times you spend in a dream.
