I daydream alot. I have the attention span of a goldfish, aswell as the short term memory. mainly while somethings going on ill dream of something (e.g. some one talking to me, tv, just about anything actuly) I can stair into space for hours, dreaming. my eyes actuly lose focus when doing so. I dont know how much time i spend doing this, i do it quite offen and i dont notice im doing it until like half way through the dream. i some times change facial positions and the way im standing or sitting, depending on the dream.

When Daydreaming i dont take in what is said or happens around me. I've gotten quite good at guessing the right response to say without knowing anything thats been said.

Im pritty sure its not normal but i dont think its abnormal ether. Lots of people daydream. But i guess what i want to know is if its normal daydreaming or something i can see a dr about and get rid of. It tends to get in the way alot.

Also. While typeing this i daydreamed a couple times, about jedi... or something. I tend to forget.

    I day dream soooo much, you seem to do it easier though, because I have to be in class or driving in a car.

    It's really weird because i will be reading a text book or just a normal book and then after like 15 minutes I realize I just took none of the book in. I often day dream about the same thing for like a week until it gets boring.

    Maybe we should see a doctor it is very distracting.

    It sounds like maladaptive daydreaming to me, I have the same thing.

    i daydream about nothing. literally. i just build certain scenarios in my head using words instead of images. or i'll just think about something that happened, think about something i could've said and figure out how the person probably would've replyed. it can get a little irratating. i know it's not as bad as yours though. it's not abnormal really so don't worry about it to much.

    I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Can you focus when you need to? ADD has become a bit of an overused explanation for a lot of things - including just being bored and distractible. I think this is very true in schools - where we use psychological explanations of students to explain dull curriculums & teaching styles designed for "everyone" and interesting to few in reality because everyone is an individual learner. If you got to the end of that sentence you don't have ADD!!!

    Thats my opinion.

      I thought it could be A.D.D. too. But i dont match the other symptoms. Funny thing is even when playing video games i day dream lol. I start daydreaming and playing the game on a subconsious level. It happens all the time and i cant do anything to stop it nor prevent it. I was doing while replying to youre comment.... About gnomes.
