#linear daydream

Do any of your para's sing? If they do, I'd like to know if I'm not the only one who does this.

Quite a few of my para's have good voices, and I usually find an irl band/singer that sounds like them, and I make that band/singer my para's voice . . and they're [somewhat] famous for it sometimes.

So take Tossing Copper, and I The Mighty for example, I use their voices for Ellen.

And sometimes I use multiple bands/singers. For example, I use Tonight Alive, We Are The In Crowd, Digital Daggers, and Envoi, for Nesset.

Sometimes I use multiple cos I don't know which one would fit them better.

So I was just experiencing daydream crash a couple days ago, and I realized some things that actually made me feel comforted.

This will be a list of ways to get over daydream crash.

1.) If you have a large stuffed animal (small works too I guess), just hold it like you're holding your para.

The reason I thought of this was because I have this stuffed bunny that I named after my para Nesset, and this stuffed platypus that I named after Ellen. And when I hug them, it makes me think that I'm actually hugging my para's. I don't know if it'll work for any of you, but it helped me when I was curled in a ball covered in tears haha. I just felt better I guess. Not to mention I always have to sleep with these stuffed animals, and since they're about medium-sized, it makes me feel like my para's are right next to me.

2.) Listening to music.

Now I'm not just talking about any kind of music. I'm talking about songs that would normally bring joy to your para's. Or a song that made you extremely happy about a daydream you had. I know daydream crash is where you realize this stuff isn't real and it can never be real, but if you think about it, you want the best for your para's, and if anything, I'm sure all of your para's want the best for you. They wouldn't want to see you upset. So maybe listening to one of their favorite songs will make you happier because you know how happy it makes your para's. Just because they aren't real, it doesn't mean they don't care about your emotions.

3.) Listen to your para's sing!

This one is kind of related to the last tip. But its kind of different. If you saw my post about how I give my para's a famous singers voice, you should understand what I'm talking about here. If you don't, I'll explain. I have certain bands/singers that I listen to for comfort when I'm experiencing daydream crash. But the reason I listen to just a couple specific bands/singers is because I use those voices as my escape. Since I use Tossing Copper, and I The Mighty as Ellen's voice claim. I picture Ellen singing those songs to me. And its extremely comforting because their voices are amazing, and mellow (mellow depending on the song). And if you have a para that has a voicelcaim. Use that band/singer as your escape! Like I said, its basically like your para is singing to you. Its the most comforting feeling ever I swear!

4.) The Multi Universe Theory!!

If you haven't heard of the Multi Universe theory, I strongly suggest and highly recommend that you look it up!!

If you're lazy and don't want to, then I'll explain! Basically what it is is scientists have studied that there may be more than just this universe. Because the universe goes so far out into nothing basically, obviously it has to lead to something. So if you think about it, these dreamverses that we have, these para's that we have, they could possibly be real! Not to mention studies showed that "more likely than not" there are DEFINITELY more universes out there. If this doesn't help you with your crash, I don't know what will. I was super relieved when I heard about it.

The only question is how do we get there? They haven't figured that out yet, but it was confirmed that they could most likely exist.

The one good thing about having MaDD is we'd all be excellent actors! 😂

So I'm sure most of you saw my post about coming out to my brother about having madd. But the only reason it was easy was because he's Spiritual. He's always been interested in the Universe, the Solar System, Science, the MIND, Aliens, life after death, etc. He came in my room last night and said "I know you were talking to your friends." And the confession kind of just took off from there.

The point I'm trying to get to is, if you know someone who Spiritual, or is just interested in different universes, or meditation, you should mention MaDD to them. Chances are they'll be immensely intrigued and would want to know more. My brother kept asking me questions, he was talking about this Multi Universe that means that these daydreams I have could actually be real somewhere outside this earth.

I've told my parents about my para's, but instead of actually listening, they just assumed I was Schizophrenic and/or had DID (personality disorder), and said that my para's were just "The voices in my head." 😒😒 My parents never listen to anything me and/or my siblings try to tell them. Its the most frustrating thing because I'm sure they'll never understand.

For anybody who can relate, I suggest that you just keep bringing your para's up every now and then. Maybe eventually your parent(s) will ask what it is you're talking about.

For me, when I mention them to my younger brother, my mom will listen and say,

"Who are you talking about?"

And I'll just say "A good friend of mine."

She usually goes along with it. But yeah, for anyone who actually wants to mention it to their parent(s), just try to bring your MaDD up little by little. Whether you mention what happened in a daydream, or you just gush about your favorite para. I'm sure they'll show some kind of interest eventually.

Do any of you guys have para's who are trans, or nonbinary, and like you still love them a whole bunch, but you feel like they just aren't the same person anymore? Like their whole demeanor (outward behavior, attitude, look, conduct, manner, etc.) changes. Cos I have this para who changed completely over the years and I just feel as if the connection with them isn't the same.

Like they used to be the sweetest little thing ever, and they still are, its just . . I feel like something is missing and something is different. They used to go by Leo, then Léah, and now Nesset after they figured out they weren't trans, but nonbinary. I don't know, I totally accept them for who they are, but I kind of miss Leo.
