Apart from normal daydreams, I experience something I call "auditory daydreaming". I'm  if that counts as daydreaming but if it does, these are almost exclusively auditory daydreams. It's like hearing my own voice in my head talking to someone else, and it's almost always a monologue. There might be some vague visual images involved but they never really stand out. It happens quite spontaneously and frequently. As an example, after my therapy session ends, I find myself talking to my therapist for some time. I hear my own voice telling her whatever I wish. Can anyone relate? I even did this several times after I decided to write about it. I daydreamed reading out my post as if I was writing it, but it only involved my own voice and no visual images. I feel kind of embarrassed now. |

I do this as well. I'm a little embarrassed about it because it really seems like I just like the sound of my own voice, even if it is just in my head. For me, its likely part of my social anxiety. I often do it before I say or write something and usually after I say or write things. Additionally, if I write something and I really like the way it sounds, I'll just repeat it over and over in my head. Sometimes it takes me like 15 minutes to send a 50 word tweet because I write it out and then I just repeat it over and over again in my head.
Do you have the opportunity to talk to people a lot? I'm pretty isolated so when I do get the chance to talk to people, I can go on for hours. However, I usually don't have the time to do that, which leads to me talking more to that person in my head after the real life conversation is over.

I agree it has possibly something to do with that as I have social anxiety too. Perhaps this is our minds attempt to fulfill our need for being heard by other people or something along that?

Well, not really, or at least not with people who I'd rather talk to. I live with my parents and sibling and I'm not very fond of talking to them. I find it far more annoying than normal daydreaming, probably because it involves interacting with real people. They're really there, but I can't get enough of what I want. |

I feel the same way. Usually, i feel that real life conversation is not my thing cause i am less confident about what others think of my thoughts or opinions. People like me (introverted) want to be heard but we tend to discourage ourselves a lot. Nowadays (i am in a tour with strange families after like 2 years) i feel people's voice like humming of a fly really. I have suddenly started to hate the voices and noises of real people talking. And for sure, it is really hard to talk to my parents and brother. Everyone says my attitude of talking has changed. I cannot find much difference but maybe daydreaming conversations made me like only those talks which go my way and that has made me impatient. Bad listener. ( i am literally having real talks with people around me after like 2 years- i used to sit in my room all day and go to tuitions- isolated basically) |

Those conversations in our heads go just the way we want them to. It usually won't be the same in real life situations though. One may need to put extra effort for a real conversation. Unfortunately as someone who suffers from dysthymia, I'm not really interested in "putting extra effort". |

I feel kind of embarrassed now. i do this when i walk for a long ditance and have something i really want to say but cant. one of the "auditory daydreams"that is very frequent is me telling my classmates about maladiptive daydreaming in a presentation or me explaining my teacher what mdd is after asking me where i got my idea for my literature project (short story) i have indeed kind of a visual of who i am talking to but not as vivid as my normal daydreams but for me its a dialogue or like even a "trialogue" (  , by that i mean 3 people who i hear talking of which one is me) so dont feel embarrased its what makes us special. i know for sure that some see this as a gift i mean now we can think about the best way to say something far before it even happens (if it even happens). see the bright side. peace |

I feel kind of embarrassed now. same exact thing here. I also do that after my therapy, actually, since I moved in another city 6 years ago and I no longer see my therapist, I still talk to her in my daydreams, I clearly hear her voice and mine. She's helpful and caring even in my parallel auditory universe! |
