My daydreams are not really any intense. It's like watching TV. It's pretty good graphics in them, but when I try to control things it become unstable immediately, causing me to wake up.

My daydreams are odd. I don't really pay much attention to them. They happen to me when i think of something, and suddenly I'm out in the dream world lol...I am so into it i completely forget that I'm in a room and my entire vision of the room is gone and i cant feel the floor beneath me lol
I tend to just zone-out. Normally for some reason someone will be talking and my train of thought will focus on a particular idea or concept and will run with it in whatever direction it so desires.
As someone was saying, it's often when I'm in a conversation with someone. It's kind of funny, though, because I'll say "uh-huh" and nod in just the right places but then I'll come back to reality and have no idea what the person just said. I've even zoned out while I'm talking. I hate that because then I don't know what I've just said or how much sense it's really made, and when I catch myself I have to improvise so that no one will know.
As for how intense my daydreams can be, I can easily, easily get to the point where I don't really see where I'm at. The world is in my head and I'm just a bystandard. Occasionally the imagery almost seems visible, but usually it consists of internal dialogue running whereve it wants to go. It's often when I think of a character from a movie or show or one of my books, but I've gotten (ugh, I hate that word but I can't think of the right one) some good ideas from that.
I have control over my day-dreams, they appear as I command. (not like lucid dreaming tutorials people keep giving here: DAYDREAM APPEAR!!!!, or else my class would freak out. lol).
But If I want to have a daydream, I can get one instantly.
if I don't, I don't.
Like that, I also regulate the intensity of it.
But just like you cry at a VERY intense daydream.
I can also have that at just a fake thought (let's just say you think about things that aren't even true and you know that, but you can still make it have heavy emotional impact).
And I think that's HARDER to do, than to day-dream it.
Daydreaming is just like fantasising, right?
Yeah I guess I do that all the time. I used to do it allways when I was lying in bed. Now I just have to 'clear my mind' and that stuff :P
Hah, that's hilarious Ame! Just hope you said/nodded the right things at the right time, and pray they don't ask an awkward question later that you don't know the answer to 'cuz you were zoned out...
i find my daydreams are much more verbal than visual. i seem to recall it wasn't always this way though, and when i was younger i would experience more prototypical visuals.
my ability to visualize on the whole seems to have fled me recently. its actually quite frustrating, as i've been attempting visualization exercises :|
I've worried about that sometimes. Also, sometimes I smile or laugh in response to what people say. I have different kinds of smiles laughs, as everyone does, but I wonder, sometimes, if I do the wrong one at the wrong time. That could be embarassing.Quote:

Heheh... yeah, I daydream all the time... usually, I have one daydream idea, and over the next couple of days, I'll "rehash" it until I get it how I like it, so I can dream the whole thing again.Quote:

Usually I daydream on the way to university to my iPod music. This sometimes causes problems, cos I'll be staring off into space, not watching where I'm walking, and I'll nearly push somebody over or shoulder them off the footpath, not because I'm mean or evil, but just cos outside my head, with my theme-songed daydream, I ain't got a clue what's going on, and I don't notice they're walking past me.
I've realised I've gotta be REALLY careful at crossings too, cos sometimes I'm daydreaming away, and I almost forget to stop and instead nearly walk over the road...
Hehehehe... yeah, my day-dreams are a bit of a hazard... but I like 'em. Usuallly I daydream about sci-fi or fantasy related stuff. Though every now and then, if a nice lady walks by, I'll make a "snapshot" in my mind of her... nothing dirty, I swear! :oops: I had a fairly young lecturer once, very pretty lady, though perhaps a bit too old for me... I think she was early thirties, not sure... suffice it to say, I kinda didn't end up writing many notes in class. Got a B- for that paper. Ugh. That's frakking awful for me.
Anyway... I'm rambling... :oops: I'm gonna go sit in a corner and be embarassed now.
Yeah, I have intense daydreams. I love daydreams, and I don't think there's a day in which I could have lived without them. I daydream in the time I don't have anything to do, and it really passes the time.
my daydreams are similar to real dreams, only without sound. I can see and move but cant hear.
my daydreams just involve train of thought.
OMG! are you serious? My daydreams are just thought! I don't actually 'leave' this world! It's like a thought way in the back of my head. All of my senses are in the realy world... I'm mising out on this??? :cry: How do I do it?!??!!Quote:

I have no idea what my friend is talking about when he mentions daydreams being intense. When I daydream I am always comletely aware of my real body and surroundings, it's no different than thinking about something.
I can get completely wrapped up in them. My eyes just stare at a distant place as they gaze over to the side. My brother once took a picture of me while I was "cloned out" (zoned out). Like I said, I seem to get swallowed by the dream world at times. I have been thrown by an explosion during a daydream and vicariously felt the acceleration. I've actually talked with DCs during a daydream...unless they are DDCs :).
I've been known to fall asleep with my eyes open, then dream whilst half visualizing the real world. Is that considered a daydream. Other than that, I get really zoned out when I daydream.
This may not be relevant to what you do, but I'll either relive past or make up future conversations in my head, and sometimes I'll get so into them that I'll begin mouthing the words or even saying them out loud. I have to become aware of it before anyone walks in the room so they don't think I'm crazy :PQuote:

I just completely zone out until i think about something that brings me back to reality.
It feels like i'd been asleep for a few minutes. hahah.
my dreams are not to intense I either picture myself being really famous or being with a hottie. hahah :D
I lost a half hour of the SATs due to day dreaming. I had to sneak back to the section repeatedly when i finished other ones early. Heh, yeah I had this chill fantasy in my head about these three pirates and their adventures, my SATs were a mess, didn't do half bad though.
I day dream a lot, probably far too much. Mostly I just imagine myself as somebody in a computer game and react to the various situations I find myself in but I have a nasty habit of using daydreams as wish fulfillment. The best (worst) example of this is when I was in love with my friends wife :shakehead2: , I used to unintentionally imagine what our life together could be like and although the actual day dream made me extremely happy, when I returned from this delusion I got very depressed.
I'm over her now though. :o :D
I'm a big fan of daydreaming. Most of the time, it's not too intense. Just mind wandering, pretty hazy, pretty changeable. Sometimes they'll freak me out though. 'Wake up' with a gasp and stuff.
