I daydreamer about being a famous actress/musician who dresses in a sharp looking suit and I was so beautiful that people love me and pay me attention, and I was doing a fake interview in my car and I came off as kind of autistic and I daydreamer that people would love me for being really "tell it like it is" but they would also be intimidated by me.

I have a weird reoccurring daydream where I'm in a very tall building, like a multi-story apartment complex or mall, and I'm sitting in a booth in the corner looking out huge glass windows to an overcast sky and a cityscape. And I'm just sitting there. I'm alone. Maybe I have something small to eat or drink. But it's me in some fall / winter clothing sitting there. I'm getting ready to leave or maybe I'm waiting for someone. That's I guess as far as my psyche is taking me. I want to live in a city by myself in a high rise building where I either work or live or visit frequently and it's always rainy. Maybe I should move to Oregon or London.

I used to zone out a lot. I started taking prozac and now I can't. I think (this is my retarded hypothese) that my daydreams were becoming compulsive. I actually couldn't think about anything other than sex or moments leading up to sex with an imaginary boyfriend I made in my head. I think Freudian people would have a field day. So, in that way, I don't miss it, but .. this imaginary boyfriend was also there for me when I was acutely upset about something. I could force-imagine him to talk me through my own thought processes. But I would also ruminate about situations where I would be belittled or bullied by people that I made up entirely in my head that the imaginary boyfriend would shield me from. It was so.. it was basically me coping. I still miss it. Or miss him, rather. I think it was also a matter of growing up. None of those scenarios are realistic. None of those things would happen. But I also know this is an SSRI talking too. Taking it has been extremely beneficial. But I have no sexual libido, and no ability to daydream. Wait…

No. 2332322

I do not consider my mind wandering to be maladaptive, as I'm shy of derelict vagrancy, and do not pedestal the trappings of those who would seek to control other minds towards their sensual ends, but I can feel another place beyond the material reality that calls to me and pulls me out of this world at times. There is a sense of knowing there. Like a child. It is untouched by the impurities of this world. The layers of lies that build our shells and become us fall down again there, until there is nothing but truth. I have been sent from this other plane into the material world with my special knowledge, and knowing what I know, feel it necessary to impart my wisdom on less free brains. Rather than escaping into a fantasy, the realm I go to removes fantasy from our world of lies. Some people try and never get it right, because they begin with the superficial, stop there, and never see the underlying threads to understand the bigger picture of it all. You have to remove the center to see the world as it is, because the lies build on each other. They begin with language. Nearly every word spoken is one part in a series of illusions, and these mirrors reflect each illusion to the other, and that becomes the script they all follow. When your eyes have been opened, when every tendril of deceit has been savaged, you cannot follow the script. The truth of this world pours out, and reflects off the mindless mirrors into nothing.

I spend 90% of my time daydreaming.

Scenarios include:
>I stop a mass shooter at a public event, using my bare hands. I am publicly lauded, and am invited to dozens of podcasts, talk shows, and local events. While doing so I rub elbows with rich and famous celebrities who recognize my raw perseverance and charm, and they invite me to live with them in Hollywood as their little normie hermit living in a cottage on their property
>a rogue angel sends me back in time to stop 9/11/2001, but I am reverted to childhood. I have to make the CIA and FBI believe me. I fail at my task but am proven correct, and wind up housed at a black site with dangerous war criminals. It turns out we all have some sort of psychic powers.
>I'm accused of murder but I'm innocent. I imagine being interrogated by police and having to control every expression I make. Even my lawyer doesn't believe me. I have to defend myself in a court of law but give such heartfelt responses the jury finds me not guilty. I am immediately signed for a book deal, sue the state, and never have to go back to my job ever again

My daydreams are getting weirder but I've found this is the only way I could continue. Maybe it's because I'm getting older but the same scenarios just aren't hitting anymore, but they previously lasted all through adolescence into young adulthood..
>I go to prison for a long time. I fantasize about what it might be like and what possibly would go down in there, what I'd be a part of, if people would attack me, how the guards would treat me, if there would be re-entry programs I could use to further my education or if I'd be trapped in a disgusting stinking rotting prison, if I got locked into solitary, and how that would make me feel, and wonder if I could get through it.
>I am in a higher position at my current job, and it requires me to don more professional attire and do more networking than groundwork. In the process I meet my future, I don't know. Partner, husband, fling I get addicted to, not sure yet. Maybe it'll just be a professional person I fuck sometimes. But they have embodied the old "dream boyfriend" I created.

I am a chronic daydreamer and i have been this way since i was a child. They usually focus on obsessing over how i would like my dream life to be. Right now i've been daydreaming about my vacations in May and how fun they will be. I also have been having a reoccurring day dream where i go to college and end up in a dorm with only one other man and we fall in love and study and cook together. I often have day dreams where i fall head over heels in love with someone and they feel passionate about me back. I feel like my reoccurring day dreams are just cope for the fact that i will never fall in love and that it will always be something so foreign and out of reach for me since i have never really interacted with scrotes before.
