A Breathtaking Life Lived in Daydreams: A Novel About Daydreaming

By Sergio Silveira

This is a book on my own personal experience with Maladaptive Daydreaming, which afflicted my life for many years and the central thing that impelled me to continually go back to it. I describe in it the method of construction and the richly detailed "reality" of daydreams, the circumstances that often triggered them, how daydreaming actually lessened my feelings for other people, and the reason for my daydreams' "unparalleled" thrill, and why it does not last, leading to my creation of brand-new daydreams. I felt it fitting to carefully describe my own personal experience with Maladaptive Daydreaming in the form of a novel with aspects of fantasy, since it was fantasy what I spent so much of my life immersed in, and through the experience of a fictional character, who is in so many ways different from me, but shares my own experience and journey out of Maladaptive Daydreaming.
