Is your imagination the most powerful force you have ever encountered?

Do you have stories in your head that are more exciting and compelling than reality could ever be?

Are your deepest and most authentic relationships with people who don’t exist?

If so, you may have a trait called immersive daydreaming. But if the epic movie that’s playing in your mind is getting in the way of real life, and you’re finding it difficult to work or study or connect with people, then your harmless immersive daydreaming may have turned into destructive maladaptive daydreaming.
