When a new daydreaming plot hits you out of nowhere.

me trying to come up outfits for my royal paras from a made up culture and have their outfits be unique with not too much existing cultural influence, match, and look regal all at once

Does anybody else daydream every moment of their life?

I’m in the car going to the grocery store, dancing to music - but it’s actually my parame.

I’m cooking dinner - but it’s actually my parame and she’s having a full conversation with her s/o, who’s just sitting on the countertops just watching her make dinner.

I’m literally just laying in bed, watching Friends and not doing anything else - no, it’s my parame and her everchanging s/o is spooning her and they’re just so in LOVE and watching Friends together.

It’s like I’m not even there while I’m doing those things because they’re too busy happening in my head and I’m not actually the one doing them.

Damn relatable

You know when you're trying to insert a para in an already established universe, but there's a character who keeps it from making sense.

But then you think, wait a diddly darn minute... this is my daydream I can just cut em out

Me when I catch myself, mid-daydream, subconsciously acting out something sexual and suddenly get scared that the cameras I’m paranoid are in my walls, filming my every move, just saw all of that.

how many actually fiction series do you all daydream about? cause that’s all i ever daydreamed when i was a kid, especially with my own paras

mediamadd

So Pokemon has always been really big and is pretty much ingrained in our daydreams no matter what at this point, and Legion of Superheores (yeah I know that’s random) has been getting big again

That aside pretty much every fiction we consume has a 9 to 10 chance of consuming our daydreams for the next week which is why we have to be really careful with new media

I daydream pokemon all the time! Usually the anime and games

thunderdaydreamer

I daydream a lot about some anime series, especially if they have some superpowers in it

For me I mainly insert paras into criminal minds, marvel (mainly as a kid), picnic at hanging rock, uhhh, used to have bones, the gifted was one, Harry Potter,,,, uhhh yeah that’s more or less it

maddpocalypse

I also daydream about criminal minds! A lot of TV shows and books are triggers for my daydreaming, but video games are the main ones. In fact, my main paracosm is set primarily in the world of Fable. I think it helps that I can really get into them and actively participate in the story.

Any other MADDers who introduce cartoon characters to their real world paras and have trouble imagining them with real features so you’re daydream is half cartoon half real life

maddpocalypse

I have this problem with my video game paras, sometimes I just end up trying to figure out what my other paras would look like in a video game style

Tbh props to people who have multiple paracosms. I feel kinda unusual because I only have one, although it’s VERY detailed. I used to have different ones in the past (just a few, like 3-4), but never more than one at the same time. Once I get bored of a paracosm, I completely abandon it.

I’ve had my current paracosm for like 4-5 years I think (with some changes). At this point, I think it’s the one I’ve gotten attached to the most, compared to those previous ones. I know that because instead of abandoning it or even trying to come up with another one, I just keep adding ideas to my existing paracosm. Even if those ideas are wildly different or contradictory, I kinda make them work together, in one universe. I’ve tried daydreaming about different things for a chabge of pace, but I can just never get invested.

So yeah, most of the MADDers I’ve seen/follow seem to have multiple paracosms. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that, obviously, but it does make it a bit harder to relate. Any MADDers who have one dedicated paracosm out there? Feel free to share your experiences if you want, because I wanted to share mine.

i say i have multiple paracosms, but they fall under one big blanket cosm, and so people who have multiple completely different cosms are !!!

maddpocalypse

I have multiple paracosms in the sense that they are in completely different times and places, and have mostly different characters. But technically speaking, they're all in the blanket paracosm as a whole, and are basically just different peices of my parame's timeline, or alternate universes for the main cosm. She's immortal, so the gaps between cosms can be large, but she still connects them.

I do daydream things unrelated to my parame, or with a slightly different parame, (subparame? Is that a thing?) But even then it feels wrong to not somehow tie it into my main cosm, even with something as small as saying it's in the same universe. That often leads to a whole mess because many of my daydreams take place in various video games, so I have to somehow account for all of them taking place in the same universe.

Me: Daydreaming

Also me: Suddenly remembering how much work I have to do and all the deadlines I need to follow

…me: Still daydreaming but now with panic

oh-bunny-dearest

madd problem #75462: crying because theres literally no chance of the daydream universe youre in can actually become a reality

daydreaming-addict

Most of the time I manage to keep this fact out of my mind, but sometimes it just suddenly hits me… hard. That I’ll never be as good looking, cool, brave, kindhearted etc. as my parame, no matter how much they’re based on me. That I’ll never be as well liked as they are, in their own universe. That my parame’s love interest and friends aren’t real and never will be, even though I’ve actually grown to care about them.
