Fantasy Prone Personality Posted: 03-10-06 14:57pm
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! G

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
