A term used to describe some or all of the following symptoms:
- Excessive daydreaming, to the point where one cannot, or has difficulties with, functioning properly in real life
- Purposeful removal of oneself from situations that interrupt, prevent or otherwise disrupt daydreaming
- Creation of various storylines within daydreams, usually filling the holes in oneβs own life (arousal, feeling of purpose, heroism, a social life, etc.)
- Tiredness (often caused by preventing oneself from sleeping so there is more time to daydream)
- Inability, or hindered ability, to maintain focus on real life scenarios in favor of daydreaming
Maladaptive Daydreaming is often associated with other, official terms, such as depression, ADHD, PTSD, schizophrenia and more.
There is no prescription to take in order to solve maladaptive daydreaming. The best solution is to seek professional therapy. Therapy isnβt as scary as it sounds; they ask what the problem is, and then work with you to develop a solution. They will never judge you, and have several degrees on how to deal with these kinds of situations. If therapy is not an option, alternative solutions would be to create a vent for your ideas and desires to flow into (keeping a journal, sharing ideas with friends, achieving real life goals, etc.).
If you searched this because you think you have maladaptive daydreaming, please donβt ignore it. It can ruin your life.

When you zone out of something that you're supposed to be paying attention to, and start fantasizing that you are in bed, late at night, with the girl of your dreams.
