Ours are almost always struggle or frustration. Don't know why. We hardly ever daydream about good things. We sometimes use that daydreaming to act out things that we are wanting to do in real life but shouldn't... Kind of a way to keep ourselves from doing certain things. But we wonder the same thing... Is it keeping us sick to daydream about these things or is it helping in some way?
