I love this—so much. I have ADHD, and I actually find that daydreaming is one of the superpowers that come with it. I have an ability to daydream without overthinking, and let daydreams be just that—dreams and ideas.
I've also just started The Artist's Way, yay! Reading this has got me excited x
Aw thank you so much. I bloody love the fact that it is your superpower. Let me know how you go with The Artists Way! Just remember you can take longer to do 1 week if you need - don’t try rush it! x
When I went through my divorce my therapist recommended The Artists Way. It’s been 20 years since I’ve looked at that book but I think it’s time to maybe revisit it.
Thanks for the interesting post in defense of daydreaming. Yes!
For the first time in over a decade, I am trying to flex that creative muscle, and WOW is it so much harder than I ever could have anticipated. Feels very much emaciated. Will be ordering both of the books mentioned and am so looking forward to where this takes me! Thank you for this :)
I daydream a lot. Way too much, I have maladaptive daydreaming and it kinda ruins my daily life.
I have a whole other life in my head, and I can daydream during movies, conversations, at school… not just during the commute or having ‘scenarios’ inside my head at night.
I have insomnia and it's making it worse. I can spend hours listening to music and daydream.
It took too much time of my life and I don't know how to stop it.

reminds me in fahrenheit 451 where everyone is too busy with TVs to stop and think and just wonder
OMG, Fahrenheit 451 popped into my head while reading this. I didn't explicitly make the connection, but my mind wandered there!

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
Popped into my head at the end of your post
