Personal Terms and Stuff
I don't see a list of common terms used by the Immersive Daydreaming Community, so here are my personal terms. If you like, you are welcome to use them.
Community terms I have seen:
-Paracosms- Highly developed inner worlds made from imagination. Tend to start from childhood but last a lifetime for some people.
-Author, Creator, Brainstormer, Daydreamer- Refer to a creator of a Paracosm or Paras.
-Paros/Paras, Imaginary Friends, Characters, OCs, Denizens- Terms to describe created imaginary entities or characters. They can be either interactive or story-based characters.
-Veritbond, Verit- Term from Foxglove-Burning's post on Verits. Paras sharing a very deep connection with their creator. So for the context for my paracosm blog, verits would be my most active interactive paras.
-Immersion/Dreaming/Daydreaming- To describe diving into the Paracosm for a period of time.
My personal terms in relation to my paracosms:
-Set-Pieces, landmarks, Settlements- Refer to created areas within a Paracosm like cities, villages, dungeons, or ruins. Also include areas in unpopulated lands and territories.
-Pocket-Sentience- Refer to how paras use a small portion of their creator's sentience to communicate and stay active with and without their input.
-Lore/Story-Sentience- Refer to how characters within a Paracosm who are not aware of their Author's existence and mostly rely on the rules of the Paracosm for function, communication, and activeness.
-Bandwidth- To describe how much mental work to keep up with Paras, Paracosms, and other imaginary constructs.
-Brainstorming/Tinkering/Worldbuilding- Paracosm management like currency, conlangs, environment upkeep, para group relationships, politics, conflicts, inventory checks, and concept test-builds. Mostly checking on important things in a paracosm that is heavily structured or story-driven.
-Present/Being Present- To be awake and present outside the paracosm.
Me: *excited to be a part of the MaDD Community, making pictures of my verits/paras all night and their relationships to me*
My brain the very next day:
In other news tho I'm letting my veritbonds proxy and react to my surrounding world in little amounts. I still have full control over their words and actions so I'm very sure it's not anything else but I'm gonna be honest this is just comforting. Dove is having a bit of a difficulty with technology as would be expected and Nova straight up doesn't like mcyt but I love both of them lots and lots
I sort of wish there were two different terms for what a verit is as I feel having autonomy and consciousness is such a different experience from a para you love so much and have a strong bond with.
Because paras (and like non-daydream people) having autonomy and consciousness and awareness is something I experience but it feels like the term 'verit' doesn't fit that in my case. For example it would be odd if I said the whole family in Packsong were verits idk.

Plz don't reblob this one- still feels odd posting about veritbonds
Of my two "main daydream" veritbonds (there's technically more but in a different context hard to explain), they each qualify in a different way
Seren because of how much he means to me
Joe/K because he is self-aware
Seren isn't at all self aware or autonomous, he just means a lot to me in a way I can't super explain.
And Joe also means the world to me (parabf) but i knew he was a verit straight away when he spoke directly to me, the dreamer. He hasn't existed outside his daydream or anything like that, but he is autonomous outside of a "scene". Also weird thing to note how all paras in that paracosm have shown themselves to be in the self aware territory 🤔
