Abstract：
We conducted a qualitative study investigating traumatic daydreaming themes among individuals with maladaptive daydreaming (MD). Forty-one participants were interviewed regarding connections between their traumatic daydreams and real-life adversity. Specifically, we asked participants about 1) childhood trauma experiences, 2) trauma-related daydreaming, 3) perceived relationships between such daydreams and authentic experiences, and 4) difficulty distinguishing traumatic memories originating from daydreams versus actual events. Many participants reported past trauma and frequent traumatic daydream themes. However, participants also noted their daydreams often depicted corrected, more positive versions of experienced events. Finally, most participants stated they did not confuse daydreaming with actual experiences. This study provides new data on the complex interplay between trauma, memory, and daydreaming in MD.
摘要：
我们进行了一项定性研究，调查了适应性不良白日梦（MD）个体中的创伤性白日梦主题。41名参与者接受了采访，了解他们的创伤白日梦与现实生活中的逆境之间的联系。具体来说,我们向参与者询问了1）童年创伤经历，2）与创伤有关的白日梦，3）这种白日梦和真实体验之间的感知关系，和4）难以区分源自白日梦与实际事件的创伤记忆。许多参与者报告了过去的创伤和频繁的创伤白日梦主题。然而,参与者还注意到他们的白日梦经常被描述为纠正，经验事件的更积极版本。最后,大多数参与者表示，他们并没有将白日梦与实际经历混为一谈。这项研究提供了关于创伤之间复杂相互作用的新数据，记忆,在MD做白日梦。
