How often do you fantasize?

[Zaia]

So, I was just sitting here at work, being bored out of my mind, so naturally I started to daydream. Sometimes I just imagine random cool things that could happen (like the power going out and my boss sending everyone home early), and other times I fantasize about having mad hot quickies with random cute temps.

So I figure maybe it's because my job sucks.

BUT! Then I remembered that I also do this when I'm not at work. I daydream when I'm driving in my car; I constantly daydream and fantasize about people and things I'd like to say (or do) to them. Same thing goes for when I'm in the shower, when I'm getting dressed in the morning, when I'm out running errands--basically whenever I'm alone and sometimes when I'm not. I just can't help but write my own script for how I'd like my life to go.

So, my question to you is, how often do you daydream or fantasize? Is it anywhere near as often as me, or am I a complete freak?

[Sea Skimmer]

I fantasize constantly, you people are all figments of my imagination aren't you?

[InnerBrat]

ALL THE FREAKIN TIME!

As I'm sure those of you who saw my repsonse in the masturbation thread will realise.

[Durandal]

I don't daydream during the day at all. It all happens when I go to bed, which is part of the reason I have trouble getting to sleep.

[Ghost Rider]

Quite a bit...course I then write them down causing my mind all sorts of funny whimsy.

[Admiral Valdemar]

One reason I can't think straight or sleep too easy is because my mind is somewhere else.

Just this afternoon during a boring as fuck practical on stomatal apertures of certain plants, I was imagining playing GTA: VC when I got home, wondering which animé female I like the most, thinking how much fun it'd be to have SEELE nuked and why I have absolute morons living above my flat.

I don't know why, but sometimes I have debates with myself in my head. I have an agonist and antagonist version of myself discussing certain issues I learnt today or recently. I once, on the bus home, argued in my head the merits of GM foods with myself and I can say, without a question, I totally bitchslapped myself in that argument. Me - 1, Me -0.

[Joe]

I spend 1 of my classes paying attention, and the other 4 daydreaming. That answer your question?

[Demiurge]

Never.

[TrailerParkJawa]

Zaia,

You are not alone. I tend to day dream a lot. If Im busy at work, work that is technical I dont day dream. But when its quiet or Im working a no-brainer job. My mind starts to drift. Sometimes I think about the cute girl in A/P, or fighting aliens, paying off my mortgage early, whatever. I had a hard time in school because of this. Unless the teacher/subject is really interesting my mind wanders off. "Hmmm, she would look good in just socks." that kind of thing.

[El Moose Monstero]

My mind spends a good 50% of it's time elsewhere, it's a remnant of my habit when I was a kid of using my imagination for everything (trouble of being an only child at the time), these days it gets its most work out from stuff like the Moose Rebellion, but as well as that, during anything like a lecture which cannot hold my interest or actually teach me in a manner which is useful, my brain essentially says;

'Fuck this, Paul, I'm off, I'll be thinking about christ knows what for the next 50 minutes, you're on autopilot from now, so try not to drool all over your textbook...'

[weemadando]

All the goddamn time since Sarah went to the mainland...

*edit*
Also as a product of ASVS and SDnet as I wander around I'll often think - so, what WOULD happen if a zombie crashed through that plate glass window and ate the person in front of me...

[Tolya]

Yeah, I daydream. A lot. Mostly involves military equipment or really fast cars
Today I was sitting on a lecture, which was sooooo unbelievably boring that I started to daydream about a team of tangos in full tac gears rushing into the room and taking everyone hostage. Then of course I free the whole university Liberator style.

This kind of thinking helps me live through some boring moments. In highschool one of my personal favourites was flying to school on X-Wing or Millenium Falcon.

I guess I have a very good imagination - and I play RPG's a lot, which in fact IS daydreaming (or night dreaming, depends when you play

[DPDarkPrimus]

I do it all the freaking time.

I know one time I zoned out for over an hour. Of course, that was on an airplane.

[Cyborg Stan]

Almost all the time. Alot of them are either worlds of my own creation (which tend to be torn down, combined with others, seperated, etc so they really aren't completely distinct) or sometimes other established 'universes'. In addition, some of my odder/more creative ideas often stem from it.

[SyntaxVorlon]

I live in a perpetual semiconcious state, I'm either within my own little dream world, or working on physics equations having to do with seiching lakes.

[aerius]

Unless I'm doing something which requires 100% of my attention (and there aren't many such things), chances are I'm fantasizing about something. For instance at this moment I'm having a really cool daydream where I get rich and live large from a making a movie entitled "The Women of SD.net", which of course is a hardcore lesbian porn movie. I'm liking this one, it's a really cool movie and I'm having quite a bit of fun visualizing the various possibilities. Yeah...very happy...

[Alyrium Denryle]

More or less constantly. Thouhh it isnt so much daydreaming and going off into lala land, as playng out possible converations with a certain someone. Internal decision committee meetings, and the ocasional flight of fancy in math class.

The dreams I have at night... well I have full tactile and usually some level of control.

[Darth Wong]

I don't really daydream, although I did when I was a child. Maybe there's just too much going on for me to daydream any more.

[Rye]

Most of the time, dissatisfaction with the universe i suppose. Often look at things in the distance and wonder what's going on over there, or imagine a giant dinosaur walking acrosss the landscape, or if i look at a tree, i might wonder what it's like to be really small and live in a big cool city in it...

[Frank Hipper]

I don't allow it to distract me, but I daydream all the time.

[justifier]

A lot, if I'm in a useless class or the other students are making the teacher repeat shit over and over I'm off to gratuitus violence land. Also during chapels(think the uncomfortableness of school assemblies and the boringness of church) I always have wild daydreams, stuff about superhero, spec-op teams, mad bombers and the like.

[Raptor 597]

Often. Especially in English class. I've already devised scenaios if an MP5 was dropped unloaded, the bullets out of the clip in the class. The winner gets a clean ten million. Lots of violent scenarios play out in mind. though sometimes I wonder about the future and how my occupation will treat me.

[Psycho Smiley]

I daydream constantly. It actually used to get a little scary: I'd realize that I just spent the last hour or so on autopilot and can't remember any details. Which was really weird because whatever I was doing was done properly. I'd even wait at traffic lights when walking. But now that I have university to keep my mind somewhat busy, I'm usually at least half there.

I've occassionally (well more than occassionally) zoned out while driving. HAve just gone on autopilot and come back to my senses later. The whole time according to passengers I was driving normally.

[Uraniun235]

I daydream a lot. Boring class? My mind gets up and leaves, indulges in some romanticism, and checks back in every so often to make sure the fire alarm isn't going off.
