Odd question, but do ya'll ever plan out other lives for yourself? Occasionally I'll just sit on realestate and and look shit up. Might be like "alright, if I split with the mrs can I afford to buy a unit? where am I gonna live?" or "Fuckit, lets all move up to bright! I hate it here, alright what can we afford?"
I find it really therapeutic for some reason. These alternate lives I'll never live out.
I sometimes find my daydreaming self inserting myself into works of fiction - such a Sherlock Holmes, the Vorkosiverse etc. Probably a symptom of deep psychosis.
I am OFTEN on the bridge of a warship protecting the earth. Usually heroically telling the crew to abandon ship as I fight impossible odds bravely sacrificing myself.
Good to know its not just me.
That's so cool - what's your battle soundtrack?!
Usually just a bunch of alarms, explosions ect. Despite the lack of sound in space it sure is a loud experience. I'm CONVINCED its linked to my anxiety cause I dissociate hard.
