Okay, okay. I can't be the only one who does this. But like maybe I do it to an unhealthy extent. Except daydreaming is like 75% of what I do in my free time so it's not unhealthy. I'll just call it . . . brain exercise (major kudos to you if you can actually spell exercise right on the first try, you're a legend).
Anyways.
Daydreaming, according to my trusty Oxford dictionary I found on google for $0 (go invest, kids), is defined as "pleasant thoughts that make you forget about the present." M'kay so by this definition, it has to be a pleasant thought. Depending on what your definition of "pleasant" is (and I'm too lazy to take the two seconds to look it up), daydreaming could technically be thinking about murder or doing something along those lines. Something you know you'd get in trouble for in real life, but in the daydream it's all good because it's your daydream and there are no laws or consequences. This is how people usually think. I think. And maybe you think. I want chocolate. Dark chocolate.
*Ahem*
So what I do that I'm not sure if anyone else does is I'll not only think a nice thought like "Oh it sure would be nice if I was at the beach with X and Y right now," but I will build a story around it, keep the story going, go into painstaking detail in my very annoyingly indecisive brain, and just generally go glassy-eyed over a hypothetical situation for way too long. I've missed whole conversations, answers to questions I've asked, important intructions.
'Cause like why listen to someone else when you can create a whole scenario in your head in which you're most likely having more fun?
Does anyone else just like . . . transcend reality and kinda fall into their own brain? Like you're not seeing what's in front of you at all, you're not registering it? Eyes open but shut off? I do that a lot, my eyes are like "Nah, let's not today" and they glaze over and then everything behind my eyes lights up like a funhouse and it seems so much brighter behind there. It's a miracle my grades are still good.
I find it very not fun for me that I can make up whole long plots in my head but as soon as I'm like "I'm going to write and be productive!" my brain is, again, like "NAH, LET'S FUCKIN MMM I DUNNO WANDER AROUND THE KITCHEN AND GO THROUGH EVERYTHING THREE TIMES BEFORE YOU DECIDE YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY."
And I do. And I always will. Because who wouldn't? I'm productive until I set my mind to it, and then my motivation plummets. That can't just be me. We're all just a bunch of unconciously self-driving motors that peter out as soon as you try and jerk the engine awake.
