This month (well until my honeymoon :D), I will be participating in Blogme MAYbe. This wonderful idea is the brainchild of SaraMcClung and is a weekly blog format with an easy schedule to follow.

On Wednesdays, the prompt is: May I ask something about you?
I have always daydreamed. As a child and as a teenager, I used to tell stories out loud in my kitchen, even trying out my foreign language skills or I could just get lost in my thoughts. I still do it 😀
So tell me were you a daydreamer? What did you dream about?
What a great question! I am such a daydreamer. My daughter is too. My husband always teases us about being lost in space or space cadets. But I wouldn’t change it.
Thanks Alison 😀 Daydreaming is a nice way to step away for awhile, isn’t it?
Yes, definitely, often dreams are about people, long gone or still in my life, or strangers, but very vivid. Some become characters in my writing 🙂
I also dream about people or about places or about the possible future 😀
Definitely. I have always been. Am still. Sometimes, they get the better of me. Its why I can’t watch horror movies – when it gets quiet, my mind takes over and I scare myself silly! 🙂
Haha 😀 I can relate with scaring yourself silly…I still watch scary movies but sometimes I jump for no particular reason if the house “makes” a noise 😀 My hubby regularly makes fun of me for this!
Totally a daydreamer. I was as a child and still hold true.
I think it’s beautiful that we can still daydream today 😀
Oh my goodness, I was (and still am) a massive daydreamer. I created an alternative life for myself. I had a twin sister and I was adopted etc. etc. I even wrote this alternative reality down for a bit … makes for interesting reading!
Love this challenge, I’m doing it over on my blog too!
Before hubby and I got together but were already friends, I daydreamed about our future together, on how he would realize I was the one 😀 and it’s even better than in my dreams.
I daydream all the time, about anything and everything, but mostly, about my stories 😉
😀 I also daydream about my stories, about moments that may not have made it to the paper but still happen to my characters…
I don’t think I am, but I know I am. (does that make sense?) Like when I think about my day, I think about all the stuff I got done. I feel very accomplished, like my brain was on all day long thinking and planning and doing. But if I look deeper, about half of the day was spent daydreaming. LOL
Excellent question!
I’ve always been a daydreamer. I think I used to just daydream about cute boys when I was younger, but now I daydream about life and travel and stories, etc…
Ohhhh daydreaming about cute boys was a regular activity of mine as a teenager 😀
Great question! I was a daydreamer, and still am. That’s why I started writing — it’s an outlet for all the daydreams and stories in my head!
Thanks Katy 😀 Like you my daydream feeds into my writing…It is helpful to type away those stories when we have so many in our heads.
I think most of us, as a lover of books, would be daydreamers:) I often daydream about myself being inside the pages I’m reading!
This is true 😀 I also sometimes daydream about the stories I am reading…
Well, like I mentioned on my blog the other day, I had a zillion imaginary friends as a little kid, so I guess I was then. Now, I’m more likely to drift off into thinking about my real life in the middle of reading a novel–sort of a reverse daydream! I think it’s like how mathematicians discover formulas in their sleep or in the shower…reading fiction absorbs just enough of my brain to let me mull over other stuff in the background, and when it’s done cooking, it’s like it pops up over the words on my page.
I don’t remember imaginary friends but I did talk regularly to a little spider on my wall (before I got scared of them) and to my pets 😀 Funny also to see how the brain works…
I get my stories from my dreams. That sometimes means I daydream (as if watching a movie screen) what happens in my stories, but mostly they come from nighttime sleep.
