THE ULTIMATE DAYDREAMER'S GUIDE

THE ULTIMATE DAYDREAMER’S GUIDE An ongoing list of terminology, media, resources, etc. composed by @acircusfullofdemons [aka Luka Hyde], wi

💭 What is it?

This is a guide both for those in the Daydreaming Community, or want to learn more about it. It is meant to be an archive of all things relating to MaDD & ID, and is curated/run/owned by yours truly!

💭 Can I link this on my blog/post/etc?

Yes!! The whole reason this doc was made was so that it can be passed around as a general resource, so you are more than welcome to link it anywhere you want. Obviously everything in the doc is also fair game, all of it was made by & for the community, after all.

💭 Can we give suggestions?

Suggestions are highly encouraged & appreciated! I am only one person running this doc, after all, and will not be able to uncover/document everything without some help. You can send me stuff through DMs, my ask box, or discord if you have it. Basically if you have a way to reach me, you can send a suggestion lol I'm not picky.

💭 Links

Playlist: A compilation of songs about daydreaming, whether directly or just based on vibes. Currently only on Spotify.

Blog Submission Form: Since the daydream community is ever changing, I thought it would be a nice idea to compile a list of MaDD & ID blogs to be featured under the "Blogs" section. This section of the doc is so that community members — new & old — have a better idea of who to follow/who is active. Entirely optional & I will only add those who ask.

PROPOSED DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING

Below is the proposed diagnostic criteria for MaDD. Note that MaDD isn't an official disorder at the time of writing this and is still being researched, meaning you cannot be diagnosed with it.

A. Persistent and recurrent fantasy activity that is vivid and fanciful as indicated by the individual exhibiting 2 (or more) of the following in a 6-month period. At least one of these should include criterion (1):

While daydreaming, experiences an intense sense of absorption/immersion that includes visual, auditory or affective properties.

Daydreaming is triggered, maintained or enhanced with exposure to music.

Daydreaming is triggered, maintained or enhanced with exposure to stereotypical movement (e.g., pacing, rocking, hand movements).

Often daydreams when feeling distressed, or bored.

Daydreaming intensity and length intensify in the absence of others (e.g., daydreams more when alone).

Is annoyed when unable to daydream or when daydreaming is interrupted or curbed.

Would rather daydream than engage in daily chores, social, academic or professional activities.

Has made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop daydreaming.

B. The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

C. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., dementia) and is not better explained by another disorder, e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders, Bi-Polar I Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Substance related and Addictive Disorders, an Organic Disorder or Medical Condition.

Specify current severity:

Mild: Experiences mainly distress, no obvious functional impairment.

Moderate: One area of functioning is affected (e.g., work).

Severe: More than one area of functioning is affected (e.g., work, school or social life).
