The concept sparked when Professor Eli treated six adults who had been subject to sexual abuse as children and employed imagination to enjoy traits they lacked in real life.
‘Maladaptive Daydreaming’ was first termed by Eli Somer, Israeli Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Haifa in the year 2002. Unlike the normal daydreams, this affects the day to day lives of the person.Īlmost all such maladaptive daydreamers spend 60% of their waking hours in their imaginary world, fully aware that they are fantasizing and without losing contact with their reality. Maladaptive daydreaming can be regarded as a psychiatric condition which removes the individual from his reality to a world fabricated in the realms of complex mental scenarios. However, this peculiarity is not to be taken lightly. When you notice the word ‘daydreaming’, you may perhaps dismiss the matter given its futility as a regular episode. If you can relate to this, then you are probably undergoing an absurd yet serious phase of Maladaptive Daydreaming. It can be mentally and physically perturbing. Now imagine how it will be like when this daydreaming feat is entitled as a full-time job, especially when it is out of compulsion. Have you ever caught yourself smiling at a blank wall imagining cheerful scenarios? Ah, that's very much normal.
