So I am not really well versed on this topic but there is also 'immersive daydreaming'. From what I understand both have similarities- pacing, detailed daydreams and all that- but in immersive daydreaming you can choose to start and stop, and it generally does not have much of a negative effect on their life.

Yeah, I learned this a while back last year. I have it too, but I don't find it to be a nuisance, in fact I'd call it a good thing for me seeing how I want to become an author and I've felt happier in my own mind than in real life.   reply

Oof I’ve been waking up at like, what? 6:00 am to act out scenes (more like just pacing and talking to myself) in the kitchen and I do it early so my family doesn’t see me. But it had a name?

Maladaptive daydreaming, also called excessive daydreaming, is a proposed diagnosis of a disordered form of dissociative absorption associated with excessive fantasy that is not recognized by any major medical or psychological criteria. It can result in distress, can replace human interaction and may interfere with normal functioning such as social life or work.[1][unreliable medical source?][2] Maladaptive daydreaming is not a widely recognized diagnosis, and is not found in any major diagnostic manual of psychiatry or medicine.[3] The term was coined in 2002 by Professor Eli Somer of University of Haifa.[2] Somer's definition of the proposed condition is “extensive fantasy activity that replaces human interaction and/or interferes with academic, interpersonal, or vocational functioning.”[2] There has been limited research outside of Somer's.

Please tell me if some of y’all do this too I feel weird-
