Me, too, in the past. It was getting so bad I could have a conversation with someone else that I would drift off into dream land. My husband used to say "Earth to Gayle" when he saw I had drifted off. I finally, decided I needed to quit since I was wasting part of my life. So, I did a stop mantra. Every time i would catch myself going into dream land I would say stop, I continued this until I finally stoped. I was not easy since use it put me to sleep. but I finally won. it is like anything compulsive, when it enterfers with you day to day life, you will seek a solution. Good luck to you.

Needless to say I don't think you are a freak. You will find alot people here on PC that have the same problem.
