My day dreams are usually about being admired and considered cool 😢

You have to go and do that stuff in real life.

As a maladaptive daydreamer myself I think the worst thing about it is that you don’t WANT to stop it. So whenever I sought help, I wanted them to make me not want to do it. To help me get rid of the urge. it might sound absolutely insane. But the first time I could ever stop wanting to do it, to control the urge was when I fasted for 20 days straight. It felt like a miracle. I even kept putting myself in situations that would trigger my daydreaming and the urge didn’t come. And it lasted for long. I think it’s vital to be kind to yourself if you’re trying to stop daydreaming. Because for me it’s always been a defense mechanism. I honestly felt sad and bored for the first time in my life at the age of 22 when I first tried to stop daydreaming. And those feelings that are normal to other people felt extreme. So be kind to yourself and believe that you can overcome the urge. Maybe not by force though :)) it’s important to discover why you started doing it in the first place and try to work on that.
It will work only if you use maladaptive daydreaming because you are bored and got used to it BUT if you really need it like to the point that your reality can lead u to suicide...u can't stop it
I have the same problem I don't have any motivation for it and bcoz of that I can't use treatments like mindfulness and other,I can't force my self too
@@hariomsutar how old are u and since what age you started maladaptive daydreaming
Please help me, how were you able to get rid of daydreaming, and did you have an addiction to it, and when you fasted for 20 days, did you fast from food or daydreaming, if you fasted from daydreaming, how were you able to fast from it, please help me
@@user-wg6kl1pf7f how old are u??
I've done it since I was a child. It was the only way I felt loved, accepted, and heard. Thank you for this. I'm so glad I've found your videos.
With me it’s made me so addicted to daydreaming that I stopped engaging in hobbies like watching movies or reading books. It’s just made me depressed and a mourn all the time I wasted.
It’s making me really sad.
Try audiobooks. I find it hard to sit in one spot and focus on reading a book. I tend to lose interest about halfway thru the book. Audiobooks create a good distraction, and u can listen while doing almost anything.
also, that new Andre 3000 flute album helps too if you’re into ambient sounds & music. Hang in there, you’ve got this!! 👍🏽
that's because you have dopamine depletion. Daydreaming consumes all you dopamine stock if you do it non stop. I invite you to watch some video youtube that gives some tricks in how to get back your dopamine level and sensitivity (cold shower, and so on). The main exercice I use myself is meditation mindfullness without thinking (lie on your bed, room with light, keep your body warm - you dont want to sleep - close your eyes, always breath slow and deeply, count from 1 to 9 in loop to prevent your mind going elsewhere for each breathing, move your eyes top and bottom for each breathing also to stop your visual imagination to trigger) and tries to do that for 20mn. Sometimes daydreaming will still happen and if you are like me and you realize only afterward, dont stress over hit and just focus back on counting and breathing, and everything else for the rest of the time (20mn is plenty enough).
After some sessions, you may feel emptyness after because daydreaming doesn't trigger anymore and it can be a little depressive. At that moment, you need to make you think about all the positive consequences of the task you planned to do after the session (work, study, things you usually run away from because it doesn't give you enough pleasure).
Due to having dopamine once again, you will this time have motivation to do that task.
When ever u feel like u r doing daydreaming again or speaking in ur head follow this step
1) listen 3 sound in ur surrounding ( vehicle / people / or anything u can hear
2) sing a song in ur head when u cant stop thinking or when u feel like u r ruminating about past events or future worry and can't stop thinking then sing a song in ur head just do it right now u will believe it
3) look at 3 things and tell in ur mind what color are they
4) don't try not to think about daydreaming or avoiding it because if u try it will get more harder when u feel u can't get rid of unwanted thought just accept that u can't control everything that pops in your mind just accept it and follow the above given steps
5) and the only way to stop daydreaming is get rid of ur social media forever and RUclips and everything or if you can't then make sure to use it as minimum as u can don't get into this fake world of social media because in reality u r all alone watching laughing and fantasizing about the people u see on screen and if u pause for a second and look at ur surrounding u will realize that ur all by yourself that's sad but true
Those are actually really good tips! Thanks!
Thanks bro
No soul is alone in this world
Thank you for these tips❤
Thanks ❤
This is really disturb me when im studying.
I think I started maladaptive daydreaming around 2nd or 3rd grade and I am 21 years old now. It was because my immediate family would make fun of me for not really being a stereotype of a black woman. I was a shy, quiet, introverted kid and at some point in my life, I truly believed something was wrong with me (I don't believe that now). I would daydream about traveling to another dimension through a portal, living on an island, or living in space and I realized looking back that I wanted to get away and stay away from my family. I really believed that one day I'd live on an island far away from civilization just so that no one could hurt me again and I could live in my fantasy world. I would also dream about learning martial arts so I can defend myself and be strong because I was a skinny and small black girl and "apparently" black women are supposed to be strong and deal with pain, but I would cry and run away from my problems through daydreaming. I have missed out on a lot of things in life, I may be 21 and still young but I still find myself wanting to do nothing, but listen to music to cure my dopamine. It's hard and meditating is hard at first but I found out it takes 8 weeks (56 days) to get a clear mindset through meditating and I'm gonna start. The hardest part is starting I do believe that maladaptive daydreaming kinda protected me as a child but I don't need it anymore.
How do u stop it?
Please reply😢
Meditation 20 minutes a day
you can even do more per day and its not necessary lost of time because in my case i'am a 8 hours sleep, but a few meditations per day, sometimes i sleep only 6 hours
Same 21 yo black woman that had around the same experience. I’d be called Oreo…and I’d force myself to listen to music that’s considered black and all that while being uncomfortable. I know I need to get out my comfort zone but I feel like I’m doing it for someone else and not me. I really do think there’s something wrong with me, but I also think my dopamine level has depleted in some way.. I used to read many books, draw, listen to classical music or music that have meanings behind words but here I am now.
You are right on the money when you said that alot of the daydreams were ways of gaining self worth. ❤️ That hit home for me.
did you solve it.
and fight boredom
The problem is that even if I try to stop daydreaming it’s always in the back of my mind ready to jump in the second I look away from my work
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this Rumzi, after watching this video, I binged the rest of your channel and found that I was lacking self-awareness of my emotional state and letting my ego control my present decisions.
I never understood why I daydreamed so obsessively and procrastinated on all of my plans in life, and now I am on the right track to catch those thoughts and do the right things for me, not for my inner child.
I appreciate the kind words. Remember your inner child is a part of you that may have unmet psychological and emotional needs. So meeting the needs of the inner child in a healthy way is meeting your own needs as well. Hope my video on this was helpful and clear on this topic.
Yeah it makes me procrastinate
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who struggles with this. The situations are so real in my head, but it's been so disruptive in my life. I picked daydreaming over real interactions, real growth, real situations. It's hindered me from moving on in my life and has intensified my social anxiety because idk how to be the person in my head. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. We can beat this guys!❤
I enjoy maladaptive daydreaming as a ritual and now facing problems to get rid of this addiction.
U find the solution?
Another thing that helps is to express your bad thoughts and experiences. Write it, draw it, anything really. It may help c:
In my case it's not always about bad thought. the thought I make up in a daydream can be so enjoyable and recreational but if I enjoy it too much all the time then the effect can be like addictive stuff and it begin to consume my time and drawing me from the real life as well as confusing my mind. it's no brainer that Im very unproductive person becasue of it
@@bayuandhikapradana1546 saemm
@@bayuandhikapradana1546 usually maladaptive daydreaming starts as a coping mechanism in defense of bad experiences, so a better coping mechanism is expressing it on something. But I second what u say

Thank you, I’ll try to do so
My daydreaming habit started off when I was in 4th standard , I have been imagining stuff like everything totally opposite of my own reality .
I have made characters of my own self and these characters have evolved since then,
My characters include me as a whole different person (appearance wise and personality wise) my parents are different people ( they love me as what I am in my daydreams ) my siblings are cool infact I am always centre of attraction
the normal people includes all kind of actors I see in clips of movies and start liking
I have a person who loves me
I have friends who are always there
Totally opposite of what I actually am and my whole situation
I spend all the time daydreaming, I mean 24 hours except of ig 2 to 3 hours I am in reality that to I force myself to stay in reality
But I can not stop this maladaptive daydreaming, it hurts otherwise, I feel so awkward of my own self and I really don’t like myself
My thoughts become full of negativity when I stop daydreaming ( my daydreams are like full of happiness, positivity and joy) in reality my environment is quite toxic
Be it family only , they are very toxic , parents do fight alot verbally, they are strict, dad has anger issues and my mum wants what she wants , no friends
Never had anyone to talk to since I was a kid
People consider me as introvert but I am not one
I just can not talk to people I am not confident enough
I used to had alot of goals in life, now I don't
I don't know what I am doing , I have my exams but I am not studying infact my entrance exams for college are nearing but I just don't know why I am not doing anything to achieve my goals
It is just me either sleeping, daydreaming all the time or using phone
Actually when I am using phone then also I am talking to the characters in my head at that time to , when I go to sleep I daydream until I fall asleep
I think I am just escaping
At this point I don't know what should I do
I can totally relate to you. I started daydreaming when I was in 7th and till today can't stop all the mind chatter despite I badly want to as due to this my productivity has become nile. I feel so exhausted by the end of the day that I started having terrible headaches almost every day. I started daydreaming as I have no one to talk to share my thoughts with and if I ever tend to talk to my parents all I get in response was yelling, have to say that they were not very supportive and this made my situation even worst. For me daydreaming is an escape from reality. Everything around me I just some how connect that to my imaginary story for the sake of happiness I just don't know why I am writing all this in your comment below but just felt like sharing this. This is the worst thing that had ever happened to me as all of this dreaming stuff is not in my hands I tried to get out of this but now I just can't and don't even know how I will ever be able to live in the reality.
@@shiv.shakti8683 hey!! It's fine to open up about things that are hurting you .
Just Meditate,
Moreover i would suggest you to try finding out what triggers your daydreaming and what are the elements of your daydreams , somehow by doing this you will Ultimately get to know more about your own self and what you need in life to make it happier for you....
@@dhruvijain8538 Thanks for the advice I will keep that in mind and work on it. Well actually thanks alot no one have ever understood my problem thankyou so much
Yoga and meditation is the only solution especially anulom vilom and kapalbhati
Same conditions brother... I also have it!
Same kind of family issues... Also now I have intrusive thoughts abt my father... Really... I am really lost🙃
I'm a 'Billionary' in my daydream😂 . It's very sad that even after several hours of daydream , you'll be the same unlucky person in real life 😢.
😂😂😂 same with me
See the thing is i never knew when i actually started daydreaming i don’t know the core of the problem i saw an article that says it comes from trying to escape the environment you come from but really i didn’t grow up in a highly toxic family that left me with serious scars,sure i was surrounded by a bit of narcissism but nothing intense,the only thing i learned from my maladaptive daydreaming is that i have a strange obsession with external validation
In all of my daydreams i’m always being watched,heard,seen,admired in one word validated especially by men other than that i have no clue where did i pick up this habit
Hey did you ever find a way to overcome it?
@@sbongiledakela3798 until now i’m still trying it’s like i try to stop it and then i relapse and i try again and the cycle keeps going on,however it did lessen by time
I want to let you know that I appreciate your videos so much! I've been struggling with a lot of issues for years now and your channel has helped me tremendously so thank you!
I couldn't even make it through this video😭😭
Thanks man, you're saving lives. Recovering from abuse and severe ostracization. My body still escapes into dissociation.
yeah I had also dissociation in my childhood and i believe that's when my brain learned how to do daydreaming. I don't regret it, I have a blast with daydreaming and I considerer myself more happy than most people thanks to it
Thank you so much for posting this Rumzi !!!!! I struggled with maladaptive daydreaming since as early as I can remember. I was able to stop at age 19, but now i’m 21 and ive begun slipping back into it on the daily once again. It’s really nice to see someone else talk about possible solutions :)))
Thank goshhh some one is talking about this. Thanks a lot ! 1) Whats the solution = mindfulness!
2) patience
3) resolve these traumas.
4) same low self eorth
I paused the video and daydreamed then replayed it afterwards
Hahaha same brother
I feel like if you are a maladaptive daydreamer, you can’t stop it, because it’s like a way of thinking, but try and get EVERYTHING you want so you don’t procrastinate for hours and hours about that thing. For me, it’s impossible to just keep my brain just…blank, and even if I try it will last less than 2 minutes. So what I like to do, is Try to turn your dreams into reality. I feel like what I wanted was that I was just not happy in general, and now I think I’m more in touch with my friends and family and im now pretty happy, so I don’t daydream as much. Sure, I still procrastinate about alot of things, but I don’t daydream for hours and hours and dedicate my life to it. So to everyone out there still trying to get out of the habit, good luck. I know you can do it :)
Did it really help?I figure I can make my dreams come true but not really sure that hypothetical conversations would be gone
my dream is to fly like a bird. Damn reality, you suck! 😅
Great to hear you are doing so well. I wanted some suggestions for myself. My dissociation has stopped after 6 months of therapy but I still find myself being too emotional about my past like I cannot digest the time that went by. It feels like a part of my brain always thinks about the past and my thoughts are not in the present. Any suggestions on how to approach this?
So it went away completely- or do u have it for like 5-10 seconds like humans are supposed to - so the solution is 6month of therapy
Has it still stopped
Accept it!! Accept your past, it's okay to feel bad, its okay to want attention from someone for what you've gone through.. there's nothing wrong with being proud of your survival every now and then
@@NOOBCRASTINATOR69thank you man i needed to hear that!!
solution : mindfullness meditation
I know everyone has a different “version” of it, but my personal issue was music and fantasizing since the age of 11. I stopped maladaptive daydreaming when I cut my earphone wires and I forced myself to live without them (and music). I would only listen to music in the car during that time, and my life genuinely drastically improved after some weeks had passed. I fell back into the habit of listening to music and pacing back and forth recently, but living without it was a much better experience: you will miss your fantasies at first, but that is only until you adapt and it will become normal very fast. I started appreciating music and life so much more when I did not have ear- or headphones; I even “healed” from my depression after months had passed, because I started living more being myself! I wasn’t living in my head and fantasies any longer, and I became so productive doing that, because pacing back and forth in my home and fantasizing didn’t take up half of my day anymore. I know cutting up the wires feels very extreme, but trust me when I say that only then you will notice how addicted you were: I literally had to go through withdrawals, but when I noticed how my depression had faded and that I suddenly had new hope for my life and its experiences, it changed me a lot.
I also quit all social media and started playing music on my record player during that time, and I just enjoyed life and music so much more. So, even if you adore music and / or singing like I do, know that having an unhealthy relationship with music and fantasizing isn’t exactly what “loving music” or “being creative” translates to.
Lastly, you are not harming yourself. However, you could be wasting your time and your potential if you become addicated: I realized that when I quit, and healing from this has pretty much caused me to become the person I always fantasized about being, charming and confident. Because, instead of dreaming about it all day long: I became that person through actually doing.
I am a banking aspirant, so when I was doing maths, I imagined in my mind that a student was sitting in front of me and I was explaining quant to him, so in my imagination, the student would ask questions and I would answer them, so it was my first time to read like that. At first I felt very good, then after a few days I noticed that the imaginary student I was teaching could not understand me as if he was a separate person of his own whom I could not control. I couldn't understand my imaginary student as if he didn't want to understand, gradually this shows up in different things I keep doing maladaptive daydreaming which I know is not true I also get stuck in the imaginary world, sometimes I daydream that someone misunderstands me in the bus He is arguing with me and I can't make him understand that it's not my fault. Then more daydreaming like the police have arrested me for no reason and I can't convince them or talk to them. Now I feel like my brain is training me how to talk to someone. I kept quarreling with someone in my daydreaming. forgive me for my bad English. 😞
🤣🤣🤣
I know. Make up things that terrify me, or make me mad. My body reacts as if it's all really happening - which is not good. 😟
The other day I was getting upset and I suddenly had this self-awareness "Hey these people don't even exist!"
First time I've ever managed to extract myself from it. Been maladaptive daydreaming since I was 8.

Super helpful, man. Thank you.
day dreaming won't even let me sleep at night, and it isn't funny at all
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.
If you observe your breathing all the time you can control your daydreaming. Trust me It's really works😊😊
loved this video!! good job
I wish I could break free!!
Great video! I like this short format but I also hope you make an in depth video on mindfulness specifically for MD. Explaining exactly which mindfulness techniques help and which books you've read etc. I also found that wearing acupuncture slippers on your feet helps a lot. The needles on the slippers are uncomfortable but that constant discomfort helps a lot with grounding, so I can't pace and get absorbed like I used to. I still struggle so much with reading and studying. I would really appreciate if you could share your knowledge on how to study with MD too. Cheers
I feel like it’s a reality to some. Like it’s their own stress free world that makes them happy.
THANKS my dear friend, waiting for more from you, You have All our support
JazakAllah hu khair
Thank you so much for this video 🙂🙏..
Thank you so much. Your video helped me a lot and made me feel a little less alone in this👍🤗
I have exams coming up and i really need to focus in class so thank you
My daydreams have actually been remembering things I experienced as a child and trying to make sense of the parts that do, and accepting tha some things don't make sense and some people just do some really messed up things.
They used to be largely escapism and unproductive, but I've managed to turn them into self therapy sessions. I think this is why we have the coping mechanism in the first place, to make sense of what does and accept what does not.
I've managed to cone to terms with a lot of childhood trauma. Certainly didn't fix any of it, but it allowed me to see it for what it was and understand that none of the messed up stuff had anything to do with me besides being the target.
I do admit though it can be a bit of a problem because I'll get locked into these cycles sometimes......
yeah, rumination is very bad for your mental health. When that happens, practice mindfullness meditation, it resets your emotions
Stress from imagined troubles is real and dangerous. I got myself control over my daydreams with meditation also.
thank you sir!
Thank you for this straightforward and to the point video.
If daydreaming help u reach goals and makes u happy don't stop it it's better to daydream and live good life rather than to be depressed and do nothing feeling low All day
Plant good thought and learn to deal with bad thoughts when it came to u
If you look at his eyes you will notice something different . Btw love the video
I used to daydream as a kid a defense mechanism to get away from my abusive situations growing up and now I’m starting it again but it’s become an obsession I’m also a writer but haven’t written anything down in a while maybe it’s my sign to
I keep reading that most of these daydreams are positive but what if they aren’t, they are “preparing” you for things that could happen. For example I am lost in the day-nightmare because I am worried something is have done in real life will cause something negative in my life so I am preparing for all the different possibilities
I don’t have any mental problems and issues but I still have them.
I feel like I deal with maladaptive daydreaming and the problem is I can’t seem to comprehend my imaginary life isn’t real and never will be but I continue to think about it and think it will happen
Same man.... Same.....
Overuse of Maladaptive Daydreaming is damaging my mind, body... Everything..
And i'm losing my power to differentiate between dream and reality.
I don't have access to therapy etc but I'm figuring stuff out.
Thank you!
This helped me so much honestly
but I do want to know if getting medical attention (as in getting therapy) is the only way to deal with this
Most of the time I do it with music I know it is not good bot I don’t know how to stop it it ‘s hard
I'm addicted I never thought I'll be in this stage 💀💀
I always daydream about being rich. It makes me feel happy so why would we want to stop.
don't stop if you are more happy than unhappy. People HAVE to stop drugs because in the end they are more unhappy than happy.
Lord God pls give me patience. That is the one virtue i do not have😭
Thank you
Guys I'm also a maladaptive daydreamer what I imagine is all these:
I don't know why but i always go for attention i want attention in my social life that's why I daydream too and i daydream that all my friends in my school are sitting together with me and watching my imaginary story which I created in my mind like my imaginary friends family and imaginary me.
In reality I have quite good friends and a supportive family but my parents hate each other they don't even talk to each other I feel this very bad and plus I also have OCD which makes it more bad. I don't want any attention in my life but I want freedom from this rubbish in my mind i dont care if i have true friends in my life or not but I want the real me whether good or bad not the imaginary me..
Guys we should now try to end our suffering we all imagine ourself being a different person bcz we don't like our real personality but first of all try to make yourself understand that who ever you are you are good.i have seen that in today's sociaty most of the people think that they are selfish and jealous of others it's okay we all are jealous of each other its nothing bad being a little selfish and jealous is a part if human nature you know what i always thought having a online group of people like me what your point on this??..
Same mine are about being considered cool
I would be really happy to be a part of that group.
me too bro cool stuff groups
Thought are very powerful thing if a funny thought can make u laugh then a sad thought can cause uneasy within you know all u
So remember only one thing whenever u feel uneasy or discomfort within u there's a bad though lingering in ur mind
Once u learn how to predict future in a bad way and imagine about it you'll fall in big trouble
it is not necessarily bad, anticipating can save your lifes, that's why mother nature made us this way, but the issue is when you rethink over and over the same thing. This is very unhealthy, we are wired to be happy with novelty.
Hello.. how long did you practice Mindfulness Meditation and when did you started noticing changes in Mind control? Are you practicing Mindfulness meditation now?
I started with just 5-10 mins of mindfulness meditation to begin with every day (I used a guided meditation on RUclips to start for a few weeks), sometimes I would do concentration based meditation where I would stare at a candle for 5-10 mins and would bring my attention back to it over and over again when my mind would wander. I kept practicing this daily and I noticed after a few months things had improved for me. Some people have said they see improvements after a few weeks so it depends. Yes I still meditate daily, been doing it for over 7 years now.
when i play chess i keep seeing chess moves everywhere when i play football i keep dreeming about how i run with the ball and when i play video games i start playing games in mty mind
even in sleep
I find myself blinking so much when I'm deep in my thoughts/daydream. When I close my eyes and reopen them, my eyes are rolled back into my head and I see mostly the darkness of eyelids
maybe this is not daydreaming but a sleep phase called REM : Rapid Eye Movement. Maybe you need to consult a specialist
@@anonymeforliberty4387 i cant say with certainty that youre wrong tbh, i might have sleep related problems
It's definitely like doing drugs.... can't get rid of it.
you can, like drugs. If you can't do it by yourself, it just means you need a therapist to help you.
Now i need to rewatch coz i was daydreaming through this video
Full video can be found here - I was Addicted to Daydreaming - This is How I Stopped - ruclips.net/video/eL8MnC34pus/видео.html

Please I need help, I once tried to stop and it stopped for like a week it was hard. I started doing some meditation more and some yoga. For that week I was fine, i communicated more and everything felt normal. Then this happened which I think is my trigger(I'm legit crying rn coz I realized it was a trigger after watching this video) so I started talking to this guy online and he was very good to me, patient, understanding legit my dream guy(I tend to overthink to lol and I just realized that he came into my life for me to understand my triggers and why I'm like this) so we started talking and a day later I started thinking about us making up scenarios about us together and all that ( which was bad coz ik I worked so hard to stop the habit, but it started all over again). Now I'm sitting here asking my self, is it because I don't get attention or what is this, mind you this started 6 years ago I was in grade 7.
Idek what to say next I just want someone to help me. And I did try to talk to people about this, and like I didn't know that this thing was a thing and is a risk to my mental health,I don't think any of the people I tried talking to knew either. On the other hand I'm super happy for realising this, coz I've been stuck like this for 6 years and now I know what it is and what caused it.
talk to a therapist
I stopped daydreaming because i have control over me i use to daydream when i listen music or sometimes randomly roaming around but i kinda addict but i just stop doing it one day whem I realised its not normal but now sometimes i regret how i use to waste my time now i am 😨 scared to daydream once daydream and i am teen
Where to find therapist?
🙆i will never find the man perfect and handsome like him
so i just wanna assume he's mine and feel loved
With me it was having NO friends growing up. My imaginary friends never went away with age.
Can i get your email to pay for a zoom consult? I can pay a fair amount
Whenever i try to control it my head pains too much
try mindfullness meditation
What do you think if you’re not day dreaming?
I tend to obsess over things if I’m not day dreaming and if I’m doing neither, I literally have nothing else to think about. Is that okay and Norma or should I worry if I have nothing to think?
you can think about your comprehension of life

Hi, I haven't had time to work on videos for a while. I have slowly been writing some more but have had to prioritise other life stuff for now.
my brain/ADHD:
2% focus on potentially life-changing mental health advice
90% on the FREAKY WHITE CIRCLES in this guy's eyeballs from his lighting
8% to how I'm going to word this Pulitzer-worthy comment when I scroll down
Yeah. My daydreams are a fantasy story about an oppressed people living in diaspora but then they came together and sailed to a faraway peninsula that they now call home. They now work to protect it and so far there have been 3 wars over protecting their people.
Goodness gracious that’s deep.

I started daydreming while watching this video lmaoo
I started daydreaming when I was 13 and now I’m 25. These whole years I fed my conscious and sub conscious mind with fake scenarios, with the things I desired to have in reality. Surprisingly, whatever I daydreamed about in past years became reality. As I’m aware of the never ending cycle of desires and wishes, I still daydream about things I want, In the hope that it will become reality one day.
