It just happens randomly and can last hours; whenever I recognise it the thoughts just drag me back in.
Yeah, that happens to me a lot, but I don't know if it's normal. When I'm in a class, or someone's talking to me, I can space out like 45 times in an hour period. I don't know if other people do it, but I always have.
It's called epilepsy. Go to the doctor before you kill someone whilst driving or drown in the bath.
Before I fall asleep and when I wake up, I sometimes daydream for an hour or more. For it to happen randomly and last hours? Not normal, I would seek professional help.
Compulsive in OCD is more like, "If I don't do this, bad things will happen".
Maybe there's an obsessive thing about the daydreaming? It's just a hunch, I could be wrong, I could be right.
I remember when I was a kid the teachers, and school counselor asked me if I daydreamed, but I lied, and said I didn't, because I could just tell that they thought it was a bad thing by the tone of their voices. I have a hard time paying attention to things that bore me like math classes, or business meetings at work.
