Too many daydreams!

Okay here's my story..
It started out like 2 years ago.. i used to daydream in class cause i was bored but over the years its become a really bad habit.
I can just start daydreaming about any random thing now at any time and it always ends up linking to personal issues. Like once i was staring at a coke bottle and ended up daydreaming about how i missed my boyfriend :/
What makes this worse is that when no ones around i start talking and acting out my daydreams as if wat i'm thinking is actually happening. I've caught myself laughing my head off and crying rivers a few times.. it actually affects my attitude and behaviour in real life. Once i someone pissed me off in a daydream and i actaully starting being moody and irritable to the people around me in reality. When people catch me its like i'm mad and i'm talking to myself o_O...
In the morning i never remember my night dreams but people always say that i was talking, yelling, kicking, screaming, crying or smiling in my sleep...
This keeps getting worse and worse everyday...AM I NORMALL PEOPLEEEE?!?!?!?!?

    Daydreaming? Don't ever feel alone.I know what that's like. I used to have a compulsive daydreaming problem too, which has become less severe over the last few years or so. But man, I can totally emphasize with this. When I was a kid I used to stare at pictures for ages to help me daydream better. It's like I got some sort of satisfaction out of it or something. I think it's weird but my staring at pictures habit is still there but it has an advantage. Over the years my observation skills became so advanced that I can draw and paint an exact likeness of absolutely anything which led to great talent. So, it's not all bad!
    Sad songs, a great for assisting daydreams depending on the subject matter, especially if it's a song you like.
    Acting out on daydreams is the hypnotic result of being totally absorbed in thought. I get accused of laughing at nothing when it was a thought I was laughing at. Strange, hey? I have caught myself running around in circles prancing about the house because of an exciting thought going through your head. Afterward, I feel like a complete dickhead! I say to myself, "Der, Why the the hell did I just do that for?" This is followed by an intense feeling of guilt. You're not alone.

    i don't know.
    apparently, day dreams are good. they slow down and relax your brain-waves.

    some people do that as a way to try to work out issues, even old issues that you can't manage to put to rest.

    WHOOAAAAAAA, thatss exactly wat i do! Didn't think i'd ever find i'm not the only.
    I do get some sort of satisfation out of my daydreams....I've never actually thought about it but it does actually help me with my art skills.. when i was younger i wasn't so keen on drawing, painting etc. but now i'm actually figure drawing classes in my schools art department. Don't know if i just grew to like and and be good at it but i think wat you said about observations seems to apply to me. I mean, before i start drawing i always spend just 5 minutes staring at the picture and my teachers are like "pencil to paper..".
    I think its helped me with my reading comprehension skills too.. i understand the book more if i read it then kind of dream out the whole scene....
    Songs like you said help me too, i ususally listen to a song that applies to the mood i'm in but sometimes if i don't have control over the music i can just kinda let go and get overwhelmed by it and go into a totally different mood.....
    Never looked at my daydreams as a good thing but i think you've helped me realise i can use them to my advantage ;)
    Thank You! :)

    I think its normal if youre unhappy about something or... about everything. OR maybe you dont feel as in control of your life as you want to be.
    I do the same thing too and i am kinda unhappy right now
    notice the name. :)

    I do the exact same thing... eccept I dont link most of them to my past. Since you dont manage with it very well I would sugest seeing a DR about it.

    Do you experience loss of time while daydreaming? Also have you ever caught yourself dressed up like the charicter in your daydream?

    Normal, to me atleast, I think others will say it isnt.

      @ComboBreaker
      I went to therapy once and the lady said i'm hiding something about myself to others and me daydreaming is a way of going of into a world where im confortable and don't have to hide anything...thing is i have no clue wat i'm hiding! It just happens!...Yeah i seem to lose a lot of time, i could spend hours in the shower doing nothing but daydreaming...The character in my daydream is me.. usually.. i play multiple roles in my daydreams..
