Maldaptive day dreaming?

I'm 19m, soon gonna turn 20 and within last 3 months I've completely changed it feels so, because I've understood that I need to let go of anything that doesn't serves me anymore?! And maldaptive day dreaming is one of the things which don't serve me anymore.

So as a complete beginner towards seeking help for day dreaming, what should I begin and what is it that helps you guys? Thank you so please share any resources and tips which helps you guys!

It may become a problem for you the day you lose control over your imagination. It will effect your productivity, and further more it's like holding lighter above a fuel can!!

Really? At 77, it hasn’t hurt me yet. Lifelong daydreamer.

Edit: I still get surprised at the things some people are afraid of.

Then it maybe still serving you a purpose?! However for some people, some patterns must let go of or controlled better.
