      Good catch. Taking mine back. Killing isn’t necessary in a day dream. Literally anything could “happen”

        Sure. I could daydream Putin choking on a banana but it’s more fun to imagine me killing him personally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Well if there weren’t so many fascists in major positions of power then I wouldn’t spend so much time daydreaming about their death. I’m not killing random ass people in these daydreams

    I do this too, though I have one scenario that I replay variations of where a disgruntled employee comes back with a group of mercenaries to take revenge and “do damage to the company” and I take them down John McClane style.

    I of course am handsomely rewarded by the company and both respected and a little feared by my coworkers. That’s usually where I snap out of it since that’s the most unbelievable part.

        Nah, their high class, it would be a printed off certificate and a pizza party forgetting that I’m severely lactose intolerant.

    When I was growing up I sooo had this! It was a universe that had every character I liked from books, shows, movies, comics, etc. It lasted for well over a decade, but it became super draining on my mind as I got older since I couldn’t turn it off… And, most likely autism driven, I would often verbalize the sounds and actions playing in my mind. It took a lot of mental effort to finally end the story!

    I tried doing that but kept getting getting stuck trying to think of how to continue the story and just starting over endlessly.

    I used to think that everyone did this - wrote whole stories in their heads, with original characters, backstories, etc. I mentioned it to a non-ADHD friend and they were like “that sounds like a whole lot of work just to jerk off…”

    For the first 12 years of my life I had an ongoing “this is what reality is” story in my head that I worked on basically daily. It was a model, or an explanation.

    I stopped when I got seriously into videogames
