What is a busy mind?

Posted by Phyl on January 6, 2003, at 10:28:04

From when I was very young, I would find myself making up stories in my head when I was alone, mostly when it was bedtime. Usually, I'd be a great ballerina, or some great artist and I would revel in the "applause" I was usually a heroine of some sort, saving someone from some major catastrophe about to happen. If I couldn't continue the "story" for some reason, I would pick it up again later. I always have something going on in my brain. When I am trying to sleep now, I go over dumb things; I make up conversations with people, or go over conversations I have had in the past. I still fabricate stories just for my own private satisfaction.
I just wonder if some of you do and have done the same thing, and what you call this? I have difficulty sleeping and I asked my husband if he ever "thought conversations" and he couldn't understand it at all. He said he just gets into bed, gets into a comfortable position, and goes off to sleep. I am unable to do this; I am unable to stop "creating" stories, putting myself in imagined situations,etc., creating dialogue.
When I am up, I don't do this at all and am not a daydreamer. It's just at bedtime or when I am alone. Is this something many people do, but we just don't know it?
Thanks for your input.
