thank you for sharing your truth. This is one of the most interesting posts I've read.

My first Q would be: is this something you actually can control/stop/reduce or does it just sort of happen?

If so, why do you want to stop? Is it interfering with your non-daydreaming world? If so, in what ways and to what extent?

I think since you're a creative person, that will continue on regardless...part of your nature. I would say the only things that could potentially really dampen or destroy someone's creativity would be cognitive decline (neural disorder or disease), cognitive deprivation, intense chronic pain, intense depression, malnutrition etc. Not that those are guaranteed to destroy creativity but they could certainly increase the likelihood. Note I didn't include reduced daydreaming on the list.

I don't know if this helps. I am a daydreamer too but perhaps in a different way from yourself.

I wish you peace and hope.
