I personally have suffered a condition known as maladaptive daydreaming, and this is something I feel as if I should share. The condition I listed is best described as an addiction to daydreaming, and from nearly the age of 6, I daydreamed most of the day, and for many years my life was only dreams, this may sound like bliss, but that is until you realise there is no life in your dreams. I lived in a fantasy, my world did not exist, because a dream is only that, a dream. Dreams embody our desires, our fears, our dreams are manifestations of things that lay deep in our minds. People describe a certain darkness within themselves, but I have spent a lot of time in my own mind and can tell you that the darkness you see is only yourself. It's what you may fear, dislike, regret, disgust, dislike, but that darkness is not darkness, it is often something we do not wish to acknowledge, and so we hide from ourselves. We are beings of light, there is no darkness within us, what we perceive as darkness is only a figment of our imagination, some memories cause pain, others guilt, some memories are almost too much to bear, so our mind locks it away, and I warn you of the consequences of doing this. For a time it will give reprieve, but the face it when you are able, if left alone, it will fester, and grow, and in some cases, it will even spiral out of control. To run from ourselves is to run in vain, because eventually what we run from will grow larger and larger until it surrounds us. To deny reality is to ignore a potential solution. I understand the desire to run, but I can assure, it is something I advise you not to do, in my honest opinion, it is a waste of time. If you have dream, face it, and do not be afraid question it, is this what I truly want? Is this truly the solution I seek? Ask and then when you have an answer, follow that path, you may be wrong, you may be right, but you will never know if you run and never try, to try is far better than to not try at all. Do not live your dreams, no, learn from, and then they will become reality.

Listening to this makes me think of how little time we still have left... It scares me because my Dad doesnât have much time left, and I wish I could be there to support him through this difficult time right now. I hope Iâll be able to see him again before he passes, but I donât see that happening. Iâm at least able to give him a phone call every day which is great. Every time I do talk to him, I always tell him about Imagine Dragons and the new songs and albums theyâve released. He loves Imagine Dragons just as much as I do, and he feels their meaning just as much as I do. Iâm thankful that I have a Dad like him, because I know I wouldnât be here without him. Thank you Imagine Dragons for all of these wonderful heartfelt songs. You guys have really opened my eyes to how meaningful life truly is. Iâll never forget about you guys ever, and I surely will not ever forget about the man who helped create me. â€

My Dad's laying on his deathbed and I've been visiting him every single day to try make him feel better. What makes me really happy though is that he still listens to Imagine Dragons a lot. He's specifically played this song every time I walk into his room. I cry every time I listen to it and when I see my Dad laying there helpless. I know that his time is almost up, so that's why I'm gonna stay with him every single day until it's time to say goodbye. I know that I'm really going to miss him because he's the best father I'll ever have in this cursed world. I'm tearing up as I write this, so I don't have much to say now except that I hope you people will be blessed by our Lord and saviour and live a happy life like my father did. We all deserve to live happy just like my Dad did. đ„Čâ€ïž
(Second edit.)
My Dad died yesterday on Christmas... This is the most saddest Christmas I've ever had. I couldn't even open my presents because he's gone. I loved him so much and I wish he were still here. I listened to this song again today because I knew he liked it so much before he died. Maybe sometime I'll see him again if there's an afterlife. Of course I just gotta keep hope. It's what my Dad would want for me right now. It just feels like I'm lost without him, he made everything feel so easy. Now it feels hard to continue on without him. I hope he's resting well now, and I hope he's in a better place... â€

âŹDream lyricsâŹ
In the dark, and I'm right on the middle mark
I'm just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
And I watch from a distance seventeen
And I'm short of the others' dreams of being golden and on top
It's not what you painted in my head
There's so much there instead of all the colors that I saw
[Chorus]
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
[Post-Chorus]
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
[Verse 2]
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Oh, the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They don't keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed
[Chorus]
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
[Post-Chorus]
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
[Bridge]
I know all your reasons
To keep me from seeing
Everything is actually a mess
But now I am leaving
All of us were only dreaming
Everything is actually a mess
[Chorus]
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
[Post-Chorus]
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream

In the dark, and Iâm right on the middle mark
Iâm just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
And I watch from a distance seventeen
And Iâm short of the others dreams of being golden and on top
Itâs not what you painted in my head
Thereâs so much there instead of all the colors that I saw
We all are living in a dream
But life ainât what it seems
Oh everythingâs a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everythingâs a mess
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Oh, the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They donât keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed
We all are living in a dream
But life ainât what it seems
Oh everythingâs a mess

All of us were only dreaming
Everything is actually a mess
We all are living in a dream
But life ainât what it seems
Oh everythingâs a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everythingâs a mess
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
