Daydreaming to the point where it’s interfering with your day to day life

Maladaptive daydreaming, also called excessive daydreaming, is when an individual experiences excessive daydreaming that interferes with daily life. It is a proposed diagnosis of a disordered form of dissociative absorption, associated with excessive fantasy that is not recognized by any major medical or psychological criteria.

I think it’s just the name given to “extreme” day dreaming. It’s like having a TV on in the background for me. Sometimes I’ll just blink and realize I’ve been gone for a bit. 😅
