Does anyone else have problems with constant daydreams? Its just not fantasies stuff but reviewing past events and future things you have to do. Right now going to doctor keeps running thought my head time and time again. No matter how many times my mind tries to simulate how it will go, once there it’s always a total disaster.<o></o>

Just last week, I went to my family physician about ADHD, even know it was rehe****d at minimum 100 times in my head, I still didn’t get anything right.

This is really a habit I would like the break and start living in the real world.

So how about you?

Not only do I daydream but I put aside time each day where that's all I do!:o I spend a few hours in the morning after I wake up just laying in bed and "thinking" about things. It's quite the bad habit.

As for as I'm concern the definition
of inattentive ADD is excessive
daydreaming. Excessive meaning its
preventing you getting work done that you need to do. The brainwaves
during a daydream are thetawaves.
People with ADHD tend to produce
excessive theta waves in parts of
their brains. Stimulants change the
brain waves to more beta (focus)
making it harder and less enjoyable
I guess to daydream.

I daydream all the time - it drives me nuts.:eek:

--Be aware drivers, I daydream while driving and have to force myself to get out of it.

--How long does it take me to get ready in the mornings?: I run out of time in the mornings because of the daydreaming in the bathroom. It takes 10 minutes to actually get ready and 40 minutes of daydreaming.

--Homework assignments: got to love the 10 hours I spend each assignment with 8 of them just daydreaming.

Thanks for reminding me I am not alone.

Day dreaming / spacing out is very common with inattentives. Its our main problem, its not that we get distracted so easily its that we just space out for long periods of time and totally ignore any outside stimulus.

People have entire conversations with me and im a million miles away but can more or less appear like im paying attention, nodding, saying yes and no. I have no idea what the person is saying but social cues have taught me how to judge situations.

What kinds of things do you day dream about?

Id like to say I day dream... but here I am reading too much into exactly what makes day dreaming, day dreaming.... could someone clarify?

I dont want to mis-interpret.

Define day dreaming....what do you dream about all day?

Sometimes its nothing and i simply space out, other times its reliving memories, imagining fantasies, having conversations with someone.

when I saydrea, I rarely "space out" the the sense tha there is little to nothing oing on upstares. i wish I could do that. I could meditate more.

generally I make up stories in my head. If I'm listening to music tha'ts easier to do. I associate a story with the kind of music I listen too. I daydream about things I have to do, the possible outcomes mostly. So i am either a worry daydreamer or an entertainment daydreamer.

I would define daydreaming of doing nothing productive other then thinking about things. Not brainstorming...that has an intented result. I think Daydreaming is a form of self brain stimulation, when every other real option seems tedious or boring

For me daydreams come in a few forms

1. Fun Fantasy
2. Problem solving (Typically some kind of philosophical question or natural sciences problem)
3. Simulating different people or places.
4. Reviewing past or possible future events

I use to tell myself it was an advantage, but when I really think about it, it has never helped me in real life.
