Them: Hey Bob this might be weird but I daydream and it gets out of hand to the point where I'm walking, laughing, or crying by my daydreams and they can last for hours.
Bob: hey that's perfectly normal and you arent weird! Ironically today is National Maladaptive Daydreaming day where we let people know they aren't alone or crazy.
Them: wait so there are more people like me?!
Bob: yes and you shouldn't bring yourself down for it!

Get the maladaptive daydreaming mug.State in which the mind drifts and escapes reality, 'having your head in the clouds'. Thoughts can either pass through memories of the past or imaginations of the future.
Sharing joyful moments full of contentment and welfare with a close person and afterwards rewinding scenes of the time spent with them.

She was standing in the hotel room, waiting for him to get ready in the bathroom. After some time, she decided to knock and ask, whether she can come in. He agreed. She opened the door and was surprised by the sight of him standing stark naked next to the bathroom sink. His appearance took her breath, and she stood in astonishment when finally, after a few seconds, she turned around nervously and stop staring. Even though short in duration, the full moment remained vividly burned into her memory for her to return to in many moments of daydreaming.

Get the Daydreaming mug.although mostly described on the internet as something taking massive, complex proportions, this is pretty much every moment when you choose to not focus on your actual life, and instead pick to escape to some other version of events.
also known as counterproductive daydreaming.
can you make a choice (most often a series of choices) that can change your circumstances in some way? if the answer is "definitely no, i am stuck here, for real, with no escape whatsoever, seriously", then think about working with yourself to improve some other aspect of your life instead. it will not be in vain.
an action plan that you actually plan on taking action on, but you think about a lot, will not fall under this category...unless you are a coward, and keep delaying taking action. that's maladaptive.
some consider this type of daydreaming/fantasising as manifestation, or, worse, as meditation. that is why they are, most likely, behind on their goals...or they just have unethical goals and the universe said: "denied!".

Doug's brain: it's summer. it's too hot. i'm uncomfortable. i am seeing myself engulfed in snow..making snow angels..skiing..making more snow angels (loop on last image)
some God: i'm thinking hard right now where to place this. might be maladaptive daydreaming, it's a bit of a gray area. the snow angels are a nice touch though, thanks!
