Life's a Daydream

🍨🌸 Hello! Welcome to my Immersive Daydreaming blog, where I talk about people who don't exist and things that never happened. 🌸🍨

madd culture is writing or saying something and in the middle of it you suddenly

Stubbed toe count: 23

An evergrowing count, as I get *way* too into my daydreams and forget I have a body, too.

Do you ever get that daydream plot that is just so **spicy** that you start pacing twice as fast

[did-you-know]

When you’re thinking to yourself by silently talking or arguing in your head, it’s actually accompanied by tiny muscular movements in your larynx.

So any time you’re mentally talking to yourself, your body is also physically talking a little bit without your knowing it.

Waiting for that perfect time of the day so that you can daydream all alone about that one perfect daydream scene that must be done only at the perfect time because you don't want to ruin the experience.

Also, that perfect time of day was a little too long so now you've daydreamed the same scene on repeat for 3 hours and now it's rooted in your brain and you'll never forget it. Whoops.

Me, using daydreaming as a coping method: So, what are we gonna daydream about today? :D

My brain: What about a depressive story about that one topic you're sensitive about? :DD

Me: *sobbing* w-wait *sob* what

Some of y’all have never maladaptive daydreamed while listening to vocaloid music and it shows.

Some people describe daydreaming as "Limitless creativity and freedom, where anything imaginable is possible with endless possibilities, where any idea comes to life"

I'd say it's more of "Repeat cool fight scene for 2 weeks. Repeat sad scene for 1 week. Listen to the same 3 songs on repeat all the time for a month. Got bored? New paracosm except it's the same thing but slightly to the right. This is your life now.

☁️ MaDD Tags Masterpost 🌙

Here is a master list of all the tags we use in the MaDD community. Please tag your posts correctly in order to avoid a messy & unclear feed! Suggestions and boosts are very much welcome. I’ll update this post as necessary.

5/7/19 - added “paramay” (sorry I’m late with this one)

💭 Tags to use: 💭

⭐️ maladaptive daydreaming / actuallymadd - The main tags to talk about MaDD specifically. Information, thoughts, resources, questions, all of that goes here. (Variations include: madd, actually madd, maladaptive daydreaming disorder, maladaptive daydreamer)

⭐️ paraportal - This is where all the posts about paras, characters, paracosms and worlds should go in order to keep the main tags clean. This includes writing, boards, poems, art, thoughts, ideas, etc, as long as it’s about paras & paracosms. (Variations include: para portal, madd boards, madd art)

⭐️ madd positivity / madd humor - Encouraging posts & general positivity around MaDD. This includes fun relatable content and memes.

⭐️ madd negativity / madd pains - This is the place for all the dark, painful and negative things that MaDD can cause. This sometimes includes memes.

⭐️ madd recovery / madd tips - Tips & tricks and inspiring words to help you overcome MaDD. Be careful with madd tips as there can be tips there to help you daydream, but in general it is about recovery.

⭐️ madd experiences - Neither positive nor negative, this tag is simply to talk about your experiences with MaDD, ask questions and connect with others.

⭐️ paraday - An event tag where people let their paras ‘speak’ on their blogs or make a new blog that is ‘run’ by their paras. Here is the paraday masterpost.

⭐️ paramay - Another event that runs during the month of May. Here’s the challenge info for 2019.

⭐️ madd music - Anything to do with daydreaming + music goes here. If you’re looking for new music, this is a great place, as people post a lot of songs & playlists.

💭 Things to avoid: 💭

⚡ Don’t tag MaDD-related things as “mdd” or “md”; this stands for ‘major depressive disorder’ and they have asked us in the past to not use these for MaDD. Please be kind & remind people to not use them.

⚡ Please keep para/paracosm related posts out of the main tags, instead use “paraportal” to talk about them! Our community is growing fast & there’s more and more para stuff cluttering up the main tags.

⚡ Reminder that most of these are for immersive daydreamers as well. You’re free to use tags like “paraportal” & “madd humor”, but please keep away from things like “madd negativity” & “madd pains” as this is to talk about MaDD exclusively.

⚡ If you do not have Immersive Daydreaming or suffer from MaDD, please do not post in our tags (unless you have a question). You’re free to reblog a lot of content, tho everyone has their own feelings about this so make sure you’re good to go. You are however encouraged to reblog helpful information & spread awareness.

They think I'm being so productive going to the gym

In reality I'm using the threadmill as an excuse to daydream.

[lifes-a-daydream]

Okay but doing personality tests on your paras is just really useful to know them better?? Like just do a quick MBTI test and boom I know e v e r y t h i n g they like.

[lifes-a-daydream]

If a para you liked ended up dying and you're sad even tho you can revive them at any moment cuz it's your world clap your hands!

When you're surrounded with friends chilling out together and then someone asks why you're walking around in circles smiling

[lifes-a-daydream]

That feeling when you're talking to someone that exists irl in your daydream and they insult you so you can't talk to them for the rest of the day
