Hi. I am a maladaptive daydreamer. In my mid thirties now, I am finally deciding to open up to a doctor about my story next year but really how to do it. A big part of me doesn’t want to treat the daydreaming because it’s a part of me and it is very therapeutic/comforting in a way. But there are concerns about my physical health.. blasting loud music in my ears for hours on end everyday for over 20 years may be taking its toll. As well as the pacing… my ankle and knees often have sharp pains. I would rather treat these things than the daydreaming itself. And there is one more thing.. the trouble of paying attention to people when they speak or when I’m at work. I want to mention this but maybe it would be better to simply point out these issues as if they are their own thing instead of being all related to the one.
Has anybody else ever tried to just treat the result of the daydreaming instead of just the daydreaming itself? Would it work? I don’t know.
But maybe to mention some of what I dream to bring anybody else some sort of comfort or knowledge about others who daydream. I’m leaving out a lot of the “meat” because I could probably tell and develop this story into an entire series .
I have created a story about a family that has basically aged as I have. I started with a girl named Lilac Sandscoff who was a peasant from a world named Malaria that was ruled by war. The people of Malaria were feared for its military tactics, it’s people all raised to be soldiers or to serve the army. The king of this planet is named Sapphire Derosa. Sapphire knew Lilacs family and respected them for the work they did to provide for his armies with the crops they grew. It’s how Lilac first met Sapphire, during one of his visits to see how the crops were growing and how the family was doing.
There was unrest among the kings army however and one day there was a horrible riot that broke out, the defectors of the kingdom burned down many of the crops, including the Sandscoffs. Lilac was the only survivor of her family. Sapphire took in Lilac, feeling guilty of her families demise. He had her trained how to handle weapons and she learned from some of the greatest weapon masters to ever live. Over the years she became a very talented warrior and even became the general of the royal Malarian army. She also maintained a very close relationship with Sapphire. But it was more of a protective brother/sister relationship. Sapphire was madly in love with a talented Magni named Serena. Sapphire and Serena had a child but this baby was born differently, as a “Zepharian”.
Zepharian are very few in existence but very dangerous as these beings were “chosen” as protectors of mortals. They are basically natures way of finding balance between the titans and the mortals, immortal beings with control of different types of pure energies that make up the universe (light, dark, arcane, spirits… ) They were hunted down by a galactic government sector known as ZEPA (Zepharian Enforcement Patrol Association). Many mortals felt that their technological advancements and knowledge of the universes energies (and their own mastery over those) was enough to keep themselves safe and only saw these Zepharian as threats. The ZEPA say they protected the mortals from the Zepharian but really would use Zepharian as science experiments to enhance mortal beings instead.
Sapphire and Serena had to escape by leaving the planet as now they were unsafe and how to protect their child. Serena was able to take the child, whom they named Isaac, to another planet using teleportation techniques she had learned as a mage. Sapphire however was not able to leave until much much later because he had a sworn duty to his people, but Lilac was able to convince him to go after a terrible war with another world. Lilac ended up giving her life so that her friend could find a life of peace with his family as the world Malaria fell.
When Sapphire had finally found his home and family thanks to Serena and her new Master (Alabaster who was a famous mage among many planets). They now live on a farm protected by magic to hide them and it’s been many years since Sapphire has been reunited with them. Isaac is now older and is becoming more in tune with his own powers. He is classified as a warlock, somebody that can control other’s demons. Isaac has been pretty much isolated from the world and people though because of ZEPA and knowing that they will hurt his family to get to him if he ever exposed himself.
Isaac is my main character. He is the person I see mostly as myself or what I wish I was more like. Even through all of his negative experiences he doesn’t have hate for anybody. He is fiercely intelligent and wants to use his abilities to help the world even when it seems like his powers are something that could be seen as only terrifying.
Everyday I create a new piece of the story. Many other characters stories are also developed to support the narrative I’ve made so far. Like Camilla, Isaacs sister or even Sapphire’s continued story of how he is using the knowledge of his past to help his son overcome his challenges. To other Zepharian who have completely different experiences and lives that would argue with Isaac that he wrong about mortals and others that have become great friends. It all just keeps growing and going .
Anyways thank you for reading! Hope that wasn’t too out there.
