Anyone out there daydreams uncontrollably?

:salam2:

I sometimes daydream for a few hours at a time. I seriously need help on this. I want to start my school work but Daydreaming will just take over it. I cant stop it. I tried ways to help me stop daydreaming but they didnt work.I try remembering Allah but also daydreaming takes over.

Anyone with a good advice to help me?

I think many suffer of this matter...but it varies in degree from one person to another...since you seem to have exhausted ways to *stop* this issue...

Have you by any chance looked for what *triggers* it?!!!

Maybe if you figure that out..it would be easy for you to prevent it..or decrease it

In the US, many people are diagnosed with ADD each year. Now, I don't know if that is the case with you or not, but it is possible. My nephew has ADD and the best example I've heard is that it is like a TV inside your head and the channel is constantly switching.

I think there's ways to combat ADD without meds if you pick up on it early on, but a doctor would know more inshaAllah.

Well according to my psychiatry lecturer,Girls day dream more then boys,and its a kind of defence mechanism wch an individual choose from running away from thr present stressful situation,also day dreaming make the brain unnecessarly tired wch cud b used in a more productive ways.........lol....films do effect day dreaming

ok what you can do to stop it-

This is what u can do,whenever u feel like u hv started day dreaming or abt to begin it, just say the word "STOP" either slowly if ppl r arnd or bit loudly when u r alone.This will help u to control ur own thought processes the way u want.

lol well u know spiderman is way up there on the top of the list but i heard some friends in my high school that they wud always fantacize about being a hero in their community lol like someone breaking into their house and they beating the guy badly and being a hero lol

IM pretty sure lots of people fantacize about that without admitting it

But day dreaming itself is weird it can be good or bad ... it can be good cuz it helps a person aims high ( unless ur being crazy like spider man than NO lol) but if your thinking school work and u day dream about getting the highest marks in class or something
But on the other hand it can be very time consuming and can waste alot of time
So we always need to weigh the benefit and the bad things,

Maybe the task that you are doing is boring? That's what happens to me all the time when i get bored or people are talking around me...i just doze off in my mind somewhere.....then i remind myself to come back and either leave the conversation or stop doing what i was doing like watching a boring movie or documentary.

I've never heard of something like this. I pray that your condition gets better.

I can't day dream not especially since all the caffeinated drinks I consume!

brother psp, hope benefecial and relevant to your problem.

Make a schedule of your time and arrange your activities and work on paper. You would be amazed to see ,hardly any spared time. This will make yourself more conscious regarding routine and atleast you would be thoughtful of your time. If you will miss your prescribed activity format, than atleast you would try to act accordingly. And your mind will be occupied with work of deen or useful work of dunya, leaving no time to think else – InshaAllah. To remember you cannot be punctual at word ‘go’, so it might take time varying from person to person.


As you plan to do assignment, it would be suitable that you fix the date and plan of work. Or either by division of work , dividing total time to complete the work into smaller working sessions. InshaAllah, you will not feel hectic in your work and probably you would be occupied with some work warding off those day-dreams. This will also help you, as less but consistent/ continuous effort is better than whole lum-sum one. And that would elevate your confidence to higher level in particular subject of assignment or studies.
