Tell me: Do you tend to drift off from the real world into your own?

I'm just kind of curious if I'm... unhealthy in this regard. It seems as though I spend about 1/8 of my day not really here so to speak. I sort of get into my own little world and think about everything from talking to people I know to the transportation of goods. Fine. The problem for me is that I get so into this, I actually forget where I'm at and imagine these scenes as if I was really there. It's almost like dreaming. All the time I think I'm giving a blank stare at a wall. Today when I did this and my friend came into the room, I didn't even notice. I didn't notice anyone actually. She had to call my name to snap me out of it. Worst are the ones where I'm thinking about explaining the way this happens to me... without realizing I'm doing it again. I mean, other than this I'm normal and probably even more aware of my surroundings that most other people at my school. I know these are just "daydreams" but I think this is a step beyond those. Yeah, so I was just wondering if other people also do that frequently or if I'm just kind of lonely and happen to have a pretty good imagination, or if you have something else in mind.

So anyways, tell me of your similar experiences. Sorry if there have been like 100 of these threads, but I'm too lazy to sort through hundreds of threads...

Yes! I do this.

I used to do it a LOT more when I was younger, in fact I spent half my time in a daze some days. I've sort of grown out of it lately, and kinda wish I hadn't. My imagination used to be so much more vivid than it is now. I miss that.

I do this too, though not all the time. I find it quite relaxing during my stressful days. :)

Yosemine, you're not alone.. I do this as well. I would totally immerse myself in a scene.. feeling, hearing, seeing every aspect of it and the people in it.

Like MoS, I did it a lot more when I was younger and had less responsibility/going on in my life.. but I still find it a great way to "take a break" from reality.
