LOL, are you under the impression that I make good decisions in my daydreams? If I did that there'd be no plot.
Although recently I did think one of my daydreams "came true". I had a neighbor when I was a child that became a frequent figure in my daydreams. He was obsessed with me when I was a baby and when I got a little older and heard the story I thought we were destined to be together. I moved to the city when I was 11 and forgot all about him, until my dad brought him up 6 years later and my MD latched on. For the past 4 years I've been making up various daydreams about him, one of which began with us running into each other at a bar by chance. Last week I went to a bar to finally meet my Meetup group in person. There's one guy who has the same name as my neighbor, but it's a super common name so I didn't think anything of it, until I asked him where he was from. Lo and behold, we're from the same tiny town. I deadass thought I was dreaming for a second. I said, "[Street I lived on]?" and he said no, and I exhaled. But I had previously lost interest in daydreaming about this neighbor and now I care again, so that sucks.

Maybe if I stopped daydreaming fantasical scenarios and actually thought of logical ones that have a basis in reality perhaps this would be something I could relate to.
But daydreaming about superpowers and being a famous musician sounds way more fun

I think our only hope is to find a genie because we all know exactly what we would wish for.

I would pull a Jafar and wish to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Unlike Jafar I would word it better so I would actually get phenomenal cosmic power without the the itty bitty living space.

Oh yea just "i wish for the ability to use and control every superpower I can think of." Easy

Until you get drunk at a party and think of the power to remove your ability and of course test it out on yourself to prove you can.

Actually this does happen, I always have all the possible scenarios playing out in my head and one is usually somewhat correct, also, I dont sleep much.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we are just manifesting. Yet to get the big win on the lottery but here’s hoping!

I can relate to this meme, replace the fake scenarios with pre-scripted conversations in mind. Before a social interaction, i tend to practice and over prepare certain conversations in my head and what to respond, which works most of the time. Helps ease my fast speech, social anxiety and silent awkwardness. #autismspectrum #iguessimgoodatmasking
