That's interesting how you talk about it to yourself, out loud or in your head. I've done similar. I've even physically made the movements in my daydream "stories" and verbalized dialogue.
At my worst of maladaptive daydreaming, I would stay up most of the night, almost unable to stop...like not being able to put down a book. For me, it can also be tiring, in a way. Thoughts going on so intensely, non-stop. It's like, but not quite like, racing thoughts, for me. The main difference is that a story line can proceed in a linear fashion, while my true manic racing thoughts are like fireworks or thoughts moving like multiple balls bouncing around.
