Can I Join the MaDD Community Even If I Don't Have It?

@Freelion Sure thing! Not all paracosmists have MaDD but most MaDDers have a paracosm. Its all in the how it happens and if you can control it, if it affects your daily life and functioning. I've experienced dissociation before, very numb and detatched, and would personally describe my daydream experiences more like a really involved kid talking with imaginary friends type stuff, like I'm still aware and fully functional, can stop immediately at any time, but I'm engaging with my paras elsewhere (most of the time I take on the role of a para, the fictional version of me rarely makes appearances anymore as I've gotten older) I'm curious to know if others, like yourself, experience daydreams more dissociatively. That's very interesting to me and tbh a little scary, y'all are troopers for sure!!

@ItsJustARide Thank you so much!! I think I will add it because I'm just as interested in what you all have to say 😁

@MJ4E Yeah, for sure! I didn't know there was a name for any of this until I wrote a research paper about it a couple years ago. When I found out about paracosms it was a major moment because I realized I'm not alone. I also act things out! Lots of facial expressions, gestures, and whispering to myself, something my older brother used to make fun of me for when we were younger (that taught me to only daydream in private lol)
