Daydreaming | ADHD Information

I tend to daydream about anything from one concept to the next..... almost like web surfing from one link to the next. Pretty soon I can't even remember what I was origonally thinking about be fore my mind began wandering, unless I trace it back to the beginning.

I first really noticed I did this when I was smoking pot, but it seems I've always done this and still do smoking or not.

I'm trying to understand if we do the same "zoning". Is it stuff you are thinking about doing tomorrow? Later that day? Things of the past, dreams of the future or maybe a great imagination of something you would like to take place. All of the above is what I do. So I can't afford two weeks in Hawaii. (I still go there anyway in my mind.)

I can also say that while driving, especially alone, I can be so deep in thought or daydreaming that I've totally missed the turn or suddenly am way down the road and I ask myself, "UH OH! Now, where am I?....Oh, that looks familar....uuuuuhhh...OH! OK, now I know where I am. Shoot! Gotta turn around!" ...or...."Oh, ok, I'm still going the right way, SHEW!" I daydream about everything from what I'll be doing later, to taking trips, to having a house/family/marriage, to how the desk I am sitting at was transported up the stairs. 

I do that while driving too. I can drive several blocks and suddenly realize that don't remember getting there.
I usually just daydream about the future and my plans. From what I am doing tomorrow to years ahead. Many times I just zone out and my mind goes from one thing to another. I never remember what thought started it all.

      Day Dream all the time, can't stop. I have accepted it and now enjoy it when I can. I find they come in two flavors, enjoyable, and conflict. Conflict is usually me daydreaming an argument or situation in my head before it happens, or wishing it would or could happen and what would I do about it.

      The enjoyable ones are more fun, I daydream sometimes to the rythm of the radio when driving as odd as it sounds, if its a fast song, then my daydream is fast and fun, if its a love song, it could be sad, Now that is just plain odd but true, and of course my mood effects them. But wether fun or Conflict, its part of me, and I might as well accept it, I learned that a while ago when I tried to get myself to stop.
