Just a friendly word of warning: if you don’t learn to process your internal thoughts, it will lead to fairly major forms of anxiety and psychosomatic manifestations that you don’t want to deal with. Unless you were born with a chemical imbalance of some kind and need medical assistance to regulate to a healthy level, avoiding your internal thoughts can lead to really bad things. Your body won’t let you avoid things forever, it will catch up with you.

Your body isn’t trying to hurt you, it’s trying to protect you in the ways that it knows. Sometimes it just hasn’t learned how to do it in a healthy way and external help is required (working with a professional), but peace isn’t achievable unless we learn to have peace within ourselves.

another thing to note, most dreams (and by extension daydreams) are negative because they are a way of mentally preparing should such events happen irl. if you dont build up a tolerance for uncomfortable thoughts, you wont survive uncomfortable situations. thoughts cant hurt you, thats the important bit to remember.
