Q: Fantasy Prone Personality

I just found out about something called a fantasy- prone personality. And I just have a few questions about it because I think I might have it. It's described as a personality type that daydreams for half of their waking life. People basically live in a dream of fantasy and can see hallucinations or just live experiences very vividly and live paranormal lives where they think they can receive subliminal messaging that connect themselves to a different world...They also say because they have such strong fantasies they can have an orgasm without touching themselves. I can do this. I also daydream way more than other people, and I also sometimes see more than what is really there...But not quite to the extent to a full hallucination...I usually know what is real and what isn't. I'm 18 and beginning to write novels...But i've always written when I was little about fantasy worlds...Sometimes I just think I live in my own world separate from everything else or....A world between the world that everyone lives in. I guess this kind of scares me. Is this is form of schizophrenia?

First off, i'm not going to try and say my word's gold. I daydream quite a bit as well. I also write and have been doing it for several years off and on. I think, for the most part, as long as one's obligations are not neglected and one is not hurting anyone else, then it shouldn't be anything to worry about it. But if someone is seeing things that aren't there and can't distinguish between real and fantasy, I might suggest speaking with a doctor.

I often "escape"into a world of my own, whether it be at the movies or in a world i'm world-building for a book. It's easy, fun, and if one is content in doing so, quite pleasent.

By the way, if people only saw what was in front of them and didn't drift in their thoughts, the realm of literary fiction would suffer deep wounds. Again, i'm only a 20 year old guy who can't sleep. Good luck! if you want to share your work with someone or writing.Com.

Ummm

Other than the orgasm thing I fit it all, but I only hallucenate cause I get so caught up in my daydream I kinda drift off to sleep, but I also got adhd so I think its just that, but I do daydream more than not, and I like to write but I always "tear" myself out of this daydreaming state if I catch myself in it, its a pretty big buzz killer too
