Not from us, but from a scientific/psychological point of view, of course.
I have never read anything about daydreaming anywhere being tied in with mental illness. I know we all seem to think we daydream to escape reality. But I think we daydream because we have to...that we don't really have control over it (kind of like the suicidal thoughts or even like depression itself). I guess it's the chicken and the egg thing.Maybe it's a topic waiting for a researcher with money.
me, I tell stories to myself all the time. I make life more interesting, more glamourous, less mundane, less stupid.
It's good for me to know all you people are out there, Janice
