Hello everyone hope this forum helps me. Actually my daydreaming is a little bit diffrent than what ı've been usually seeing at these forums. The thing is my daydreams are not like dreams. I mean they are but not as detailed or deep as ı've been seeing. They are more on the conversation side. I keep talking in my had with either with made up or know characters to me. For example i usually go kinda visit my old therapist and talk to her. Pour out what ı've been carrying inside of me there (to again inside of me). But the thing is its not always similar faces. I sometimes meet with strangers and debate with them about various topics. These are usually philosophical topics or things about my feelings. The thing i also strugle with my feelings. I neither understand nor notice them. I keep about my feelings and try to understand them through these debates i think. Sometimes i just dream tho. Some funny situations or fantasies which i would be happy to ve in. The second thing which is maybe a little diffrent is that my dreams are not connected or follow a plot. I dont have permanant characters in my mind tho there are some places i constantly go to (like the therapy room). I jump from dream to dream without recogneseing them and usually forget them very easily. I almost never remember my dreams too. I dont know if im a MD but what im pretty sure is that these daydreams obstruct my daily life and prevent ne from studying efficently. I cant get out of them its like im in a room i can not exit. Even tho i try really hard its no use. Something needs to disturb me real bad or im there forever. Like i said, hope this forum helps me out.

Hi Cookie, I'm Emma. I have a mixture of the detailed one and what your talking about. I just joined this forum yesterday. I'm hoping to understand MD more and see how it works in other people. Tbh, I didn't know this was a thing until yesterday .

Welcome to the forum!
I think that a lot of us do that, but its not our main type of daydreaming.

Hi Cookie, I'm Emma. I have a mixture of the detailed one and what your talking about. I just joined this forum yesterday. I'm hoping to understand MD more and see how it works in other people. Tbh, I didn't know this was a thing until yesterday . Yeah me too and i have been having troubles since i were like 11-12 about this. I remember that at 5th grade inwere haveing an exam and complitely spaced out for a straight 20 mins at the start of the exam and almost couldnt finish it in time. This even scared out my mom a little bit i guess so she took me tona doc and they did a some kind of scan to my brain. No need to mention that nothing was found. This year i have my collage enterance exam and i were doing great till the quarantine.ive been strugling with these dreams and it has gotten worse. Im afraid that it will efect my results and event started to lose my hope. about my dreams slipping through my hands really hurts me and there is nothing i can do about it. At this point i think the only way is to get really stressed to focus on my studies.

Yes, I do this too. I have my main dream(s) and my "interview" dreams where I just talk to someone about something on my mind. It especially happens if I've learned something interesting or want to try something new. Sometimes I recognize that this is actually something I want to talk to someone about so I will find someone...

I can relate to that. I have few themes that i don't do anymore ( they take more time and energy that i can give). Most of mine are scenes rather. Some are relatively longer but they rarely involve my characters aging many years. And i do the 'conversation thing' almost all the time including talking to a therapist or doctor, but in general to just people. I think i do this because i fail to express myself to people and crave that other people know me. I am very contained type of person and there are so many things about me that now one knows. I am just scared or uncomfortable or sceptic about sharing this to a family member and i don't really have any friends.

Yes, I relate to what you are describing. My daydreams used to involve long story arcs with detailed characters but not so much anymore. Now it is a lot more like what you describe. It is a way to work things out in your own head, to say things that you don't feel you can say in the real world to people you don't feel comfortable saying them to. It's not like there is a right way and a wrong way to do daydreaming. There is your way and that's the way it works for you.
Is it MD? Well, if you do it a lot and if it interferes with your real relationships or real responsibilities then yes, it's MD. If it is just the way you deal with things as part of your internal dialog but you generally manage the real things OK, then it's probably not MD.
