Have you ever heard of maladaptive daydreaming? There are a couple of on-line groups which discuss this and I think there is much debate about what it all is, but I thought I'd pass along the idea to you. You can google "excessive daydreaming" and a link comes up with the title "are you daydreaming your life away." That might be a good place to start if you're interested in this.

There is no way for me to know what's going on with your daughter, but if she identifies with this group, it might be helpful for her to read about it. Of course, it could be something totally different with your daughter. I would caution you to not jump to any conclusions as the teenage years brings many changes.

Here's the link:
