I don't just randomly daydream. I either think of a new daydream plot or "rewatch" one of my favourites and schedule to daydream at a particular moment.

All my letters and numbers have colours, personalities and genders. I also give these characteristics to days of the week, months, the periodic table, symbols, colours etc. Numbers have a lot more drama going on compared to everything else with personalities. For me, numbers 3,5 and 7 are male and 4,6,8 are females. The numbers 1,2,0 and 9 change gender depending on what’s happening around them. 2 has a crush on 4 and has a love-hate relationship with 3 and 5. 6 and 4 are very kind and understanding people but people always take advantage of them. 6 knows how to deal with such people but 4 is very naive and unaware of all that so her friends 2,6 and 8 go behind those people. 7 used to date 8 when they were young but now 7 is a perv and he always tries to take advantage of 4. 9 is a full on bully constantly picking on numbers and they influenced 5 to behave rudely with even numbers. 3 is a spoilt brat who always wants everything to go his way and throws tantrums a lot so 1,2,4,5,6,7 and 9 have to always fulfil his demands even though it takes a toll on them. 8 doesn’t believe in doing that so 3 hates her. 1 and 0 always keep company with each other because of how small they are. Sometimes, they like to form big numbers like 10 and 100 so that they can multiply other numbers and make them big so that they feel better about themselves. 1 on their own goofs up a lot so they hate being multiplied on their own. 0 is kind of depressed but sometimes becomes a full on a*****e and turns everyone into 0 so that they feel bad. Negative numbers are a whole other story that I don’t feel like getting into at the moment

I never get bored. Like, ever. I'm an author and I will make up little scenes or even re-write existing ones when I zone out. I'll be walking down the hallway at school and I'll do that. It's just natural now. I've been doing it for over a year.

Also, I assign colors to numbers and letters. T is dark green. A is red. E is maybe a light pink. P is green. 9 is red. 4 is purple. Me and my sister love arguing over the colors of letters and numbers.

i call it "going elsewhere". if i am bored or angry or stressed or otherwise unable to engage with what's going on around me, i go "elsewhere" deliberately. (i don't mean like in medical emergencies or a fire or something. just like where where i'm at and the environment i have isn't something i can engage in) Like my body is just a shell and my mind is hovering somewhere else inventing scenarios or changes to my life or sometimes even just replaying a cartoon or song i know fairly well. it does happen involuntarily every once and a while, and those ones suck more because forced "elsewhere" is replaying every possible negative scenario that can happen, but over all i've always thought it was kinda cool. didn't realize everyone didn't do this until my sister looked at me like i was crazy as an adult.

I slip out of realistic bad dreams easily. For example, I had a dream where I crashed my car into someone. While I was waiting for the police to approach me, I was very distraught and I couldn't tell if it was a dream but I had to try to not have this be real. My life and others would be horribly affected. So I started to lower myself to the ground thinking I'm either out of here or they will think I'm nuts. I laid my back on that rough pavement and sunk right into it. I was extremely relieved and grateful. Immediately popped into the next dream.

I have a library of internal happy places. One is a simple flowering willow looking tree that grows by a stream. One is a complex house I've built in my head since I was 8ish, the center (main) room is giant manicured garden that opens up through all three stories and the ceiling is a clear stain glass window whose design reflects the design pattern of the plants on the floor. The lead between the panels is actually lead pipes cut in half with holes drilled in them, so when it rains it rains in a pattern on the floor/garden below. There are also streams throughout the house in the floor under glass. There is one happy place on another planet the main colors are kind of water color pastels. There is one happy place that is a balcony grown from a giant tree towards the top, it is in a forest of giant trees. Everyones tree apartment connects with an eclectic variety of bridges, and if you look down (if the mist clears) you see the forrest floor with dappled light. So many many more.

Sometimes, I pick something from my wide selection of fantasies and just pick a moment out on purpose just to daydream about it. I love being a breadstick, but I always have to go out in fear of getting eaten by a human. Even though I resent them for having devoured my fellow breadstick brethren, I still have always wanted to be a human. I imagine how this would feel by daydreaming.

(Seriously though, sometimes I tell people I'm unavailable because I'm right in the middle of a daydream. I don't have the effort to write down my daydreams but I've created quite a few worlds that I keep myself.)

Posted this before but I think it's still relevant.

Whenever I hear a sentence spoken aloud, I count the crosses and dots within that sentence in my head. A dot is either an 'I' or a 'J' because you have to dot them when physically writing and a cross is a 'T', 'Q' or an 'F'; again, because you have to add a line or 'cross them' them when writing by hand. Following so far?

An example sentence might be: 'There wasn't anything I could do about it'. So, I will hear the sentence and immediately think to myself 'Triple cross, dot, cross, dot, cross'.

And yes, I'm neurodivergent.

I visualize my mind as a library. All my thoughts, worries and ideas are books in the shelves. The library has shelves from floor to ceiling. There are plants in hanging pots against the walls, with vines draping all the way to the floor. There is also a little balcony with pillows and blankets halfway up the wall of bookshelves. When I am happy, at peace and am not stressed or really thinking about anything, that is where I am in the library. Usually though, I am at the large table in the center of the room. Whatever I have on my mind at the time takes the form of books spread around the table. Usually I will have one specific book open in front of me, representing one thought, worry or idea, and then several more scattered around or stacked beside me. When I am trying to meditate or fall asleep, I visualize closing whatever books I have open and putting them back on the shelves, then climbing up to the balcony and lying down on the pillows. After I lie down on the pillows, the library kind of goes away, as I am not thinking about anything, even the library. Kind of weird I guess. I started doing it after starting middle school as a way to hang on to my sanity.

Whenever I eat something, It will always "remind" me of something. Even if I've never had it before.

Saturday morning in our garden. I don't know why.

I have so many I don't even know which of them to write here.

Two jump to mind immediately, so I'll just go with those.

1.) Whenever I have to go into my fridge or freezer, when I close the door, I kiss my fridge and say "thank you" - why, I dunno.

2.) Whenever I hear police, ambulance or firetruck sirens (which is often in my neighborhood sadly), I always cross myself and say, "I hope everybody and everything is okay." Which is silly because if you hear sirens obviously things AREN'T okay, but my hope is that they will be.

It's funny because I'm not religious at all. I was raised Catholic until I was about 5 when we just stopped going to church. I was never baptized, never had communion, catechism lessons, etc. None of that. My Mom always used to do it though, so I started to do it too and still do, to this day.

It really hit home when I was riding in the ambulance with my Mom, when they were taking her to a bigger hospital after she had her aneurysm. They'd stabilized her in our small local hospital but had to transfer her. Speeding, full sirens blaring, etc. I couldn't help but wonder if there were other people out there who heard the noise and might wish her well, like she always did.

Despite "blue light" from electronic devices interrupting seratonin/melatonin levels causing people to not be able to sleep as readily, if I can't sleep, all I need to do is use an electronic device like a phone or computer and within minutes, I can hardly keep my eyes open. Makes it difficult to read anything lengthier online without stepping away frequently. Good thing I don't have a computer oriented job.

Also, people in my life who are deceased come to me in my dreams often. Also in my dreams I see and interact with people I have never met, seen or encountered in my life, as though in my dreams I'm experiencing someone elses life. It's often not pleasant, to put it lightly though at other times as ordinary as daily life gets. Sometimes I wonder if it is premonition or possibly past or future lives encroaching. I feel that dreams are the closest the living gets to the afterlife without crossing over and that death is just the doorway into that other existance we think of as dreams.

Lastly, I have learned to not let it run my life, but when I was a child, I thought that every single choice no matter how trivial or mundane would affect future outcomes in profound ways. It was exhausting and I eventually learned to let go of that anxiety.

Referring to daydreams and dreams, here you go. I cannot visualize "organically", such as I can't mentally picture something I've never seen or have a reference for, and when I can visualize something it's often not fully there, such as on the reflection of a tv screen. While I logically know what things look like, and could easily recognize faces or objects, I can't picture specific details. In dreams I am usually aware I'm dreaming, and my dreams usually follow one of three patterns. The first is something wrong is happening with my fish, such as his tank is empty of water and I can't find water, and he's struggling to breathe, the second is I need to make it to a class, but I can't find it, and the school is too big, and nothing is in the right place, the third is that either everybody, or a specific person or people are out to get me, and I need to escape, I can't be found. It's not always one of those types of dreams, but I only dream a couple times a week, and I can't remember them well when I wake up.

• I’ve developed a habit where if I have nothing to do I will: Recite the alphabet in ASL, rotate my forearm rapidly, tilt my head to the right to pop my spine there (awful I know, I wanna explain why I do that), or mumble my thoughts out loud.

• I tilt my head to the right because… hmm… well, it started when I heard my uncle was getting surgery for his jaw, since he got punched there younger and it was still bothering him… at that news, I inexplicably twitched my jaw to the right, making a satisfying popping sound. For at least a year I did that as my nervous habit, until lockdown occurred and left… somehow I emerged with the neck popping habit, and it will always pop at least a little when I tilt my head.

In the right situation I can literally entertain myself for hours just daydreaming (hyperfantasia) but the second I go to try and do something like play a video game or watch tv my brain just stops and I have to go do something else within 20 minutes or i get bored. I write a lot but I have to have a youtube video playing on the side of my screen while I write, because it keeps my brain entertained while I write. I knit while watching tv with my friend or family because I will get distracted otherwise and stop watching. I take activities like drawing or cross stitching into theaters to watch movies because I literally can't focus on them without another brainless task keeping me focused. But if I try knitting, drawing, etc without the tv, the movie, the YouTube video, i get bored easily and will quit. I can't sleep sometimes because I get so distracted, and I don't hyperfocus on anything. Going on long flights is a nightmare for me because I can't use any of my usual focusing methods and I end up switching between things every five minutes for however long the flight takes. Its an actual nightmare and it means I take triple the time to finish a task. I assume i must have some form off adhd but I don't think its meant to be so bad that I literally cannot maintain focus on anything without having multiple things entertaining me. None of my friends with adhd are this bad, and they can hyperfocus, a skill which i am unable to attain. I honestly don't know why I am like this. I can't get a diagnosis because its apparently very likely that I sugger from adhd and I can't become a pilot with adhd. I honestly don't know.

I have the uncannily ability to make awkward situations even more awkward. I laugh when things are awkward or the situation feels uncomfortable. I accidentally backed into your car… laugh. I think someone broke into your house… laugh. A good example is one time I broke the door to a skid steer at work, it literally shattered in my hand when I tried to pull it closed. At the time it was just my Forman and I on the site. So the next day when the big boss came back and I had to tell him, my Forman made sure to tell me NOT TO LAUGH when I explained what happened. It didn’t work. I still ended up chuckling at the end. And then had to apologize and explain myself and then laughed again. This is just one example of many moments I made even more awkward for myself!! And I look like a total jerk for it. I swear I’m a super nice and genuine person. I just despise the way it feels!

I smack my fast food burgers before unwraping them, then lick the excess condiments off the edges.
I also eat all the way around in a circle saving the middle for last.

Tbh I do it to squish out any condiments that would have dripped while eating.

I'm ambidextrous when shooting, no matter if it's meant to be ambidextrous or not. My accuracy is just about the same either way too.

I associate random things with each other: 7, two straight black lines and smooth gray stones all go together for instance

When I'm in a car, I put my teeth together when there's a stretch of just nature and no human interference (poles, fence, etc.) to "capture" that spot--I don't know why I do it I just do

I constantly have a song in my head and usually I have to have it in sync with something going on around me--one of the weird ones is the blinker lights on cars I always find a song where the beats line up with the blinks

I move my bottom set of teeth up and down when there's an elevation change and I'm in the car

When I write anything, everything has to fit inside the aesthetic. I'm writing something set it rural Scotland and I'm so hung up on the grass that I can't have a redhead in the story because the character wouldn't fit inside the aesthetic I created. It's really annoying because I think there should be a redhead but there just can't. Also no combat boots on black rocks by the sea

I work from home and schedule radiology appointments for patients I sometimes wave to my computer as I am saying bye to the caller.

I’m very weird and have several things but the top 3 are that I can wiggle both my pinky toes on command without moving any of my other toes, when I write or draw my head tilts to the side without fail, and I can flip both my elbows to face the wrong way! Anyone else?

I have a few
1. I'll draw a character just randomly and in the next five minutes I'll have their entire backstory, their friends, their world, what they're doing that day, and their schedule
2. I repeat things that people say. like if someone says "goodbye lophi" I will also say "goodbye lophi"
3. I can wiggle my ears
4. I'm double jointed in both my shoulders
5. everything has to have a personality see that table he was made of a rare tree and has experienced it all and now he's just trying to get back the the forest to die in peace
6. I write left handed but I do everything else with my right hand
there's more but I can't remember it.

I randomly create stories in my mind and say "I'll make a story or a show about this!" Start writing, and forget it after about a day or 2, maybe a week if lucky I remember lol

I cry when I drop off my kids on the first day of school. Every year. My oldest is in 11th grade. And by cry, I mean sob, weep, it’s not pretty.

I have to read the entire pamphlet that comes with prescription meds. All of it. Also, I have to read the manual to whatever it is I just bought before setting it up, operating it, etc... doesn't matter that I already know how to use the hair bleach/color and have been doing my hair for the last 36 yrs. I know the instructions are still the same, I still have to read them first.

i will make strange little squeaky noises and not notice to the point where i get yelled at

i assign everything and everyone a color, number, letter, and special things/people get a shape.

i have multiple people in my head that have nothing to do with me and they have lots of conversations about things and i am rarely invited into them (jokes on them i can hear all of it hehe 😈)

i associate almost everything with music (as in the ticking of a clock or the lines in the road)

and much, much more
