my imagination tends to get the best of me, and sometimes i find myself living in an alternate reality, unable to tell fact from fiction.
some of the things i am about to say might sound totally ridiculous... it may cause alot of you to roll your eyes and sneer at how juvenile i am, but i'll post anyways...
when i was a child, and even now, i would have dreams about flying. my dreams were so realistic, that when i was younger i once believed i really could fly....
call it peter pan syndrome... you can imagine how much trouble it got me into..
anyways... the dreams that i have are so realistic and intense that it becomes hard for me to seperate them from reality...
another example is something both my sister and i have in common. we swear to have both been able to breath underwater several times when we were little...
the problem is, i still do not know whether or not this really happened... i mean i know it is not physically possible for a human being to breath underwater... but truthfully i still do [totally ridiculous i know] to this day believe that i once was able too when i was a child.
the issue is that this whole memory/ experience i had, may have, probably was, a dream, and i was not able to realize it was.
now that i am older sometimes i catch myself doing things... and this may sound really strange... but i will stop in the middle of it and ask myself whether or not i am dreaming... of couse im not.. sometimes.lol
also when i was younger i used to get in trouble with my teachers and have my parents called because i was reading during class, all the time....
i still have the same problems, i cannot focus in school... im usually desperate for something that is actually stimulating ( books imo)..
as a result my grades are horrible... it is sooo hard for me to turn my focus to something that is not interesting to me.
but anywho, i was wondering if there are certain aspects that would cause a person to blurr the line between fantasy and reality?
does anyone else have this problem?
here is my chart
