Is your inner movie playing in your head also more interesting than the TV movie?

I have thoughts like movies in my head. It's a movie playing while reading a book - I see it in my head. I forget that what I read are words written with letters in lines. It's not just a 3d movie. It's a movie where i take part. Or my thoughts like scenarios in my head. I wonder if it's only me here not enjoying watching tv. It's for me sensory issues, overstimulation and too much information. It's hard for me to enjoying it.

  • I only do what you describe when going to sleep, although my dreams are often like very strange films, I wish I could show them to others somehow.

    I rarely watch films now, I've got so used to watching series and reading a series of books that I find the story lines of films incomplete somehow. I agree about there being little on TV worth watching, it's all sport and repeats, I think there's only about 2 or 3 things worth watching on TV this week.

    Only before bedtime... I can say I have them constantly all the time. I go shopping with a list, but I take from shelves not what I have on my list, but what I always buy. I do it automatically,  because there is a neverending movie playing in my head, it's idk maladaptive daydreaming and if someone or something interrupts my movie, I get upset and I play it from the beginning over again. Its usually related to my interest. Others find me pretty often sitting still like a statue and staring in a wall or rocking and staring in a wall, but what is happening in my head is deep. Then of course others think that I'm sad or depressed. Other things that make my head busy are past dialogues that I would like to rewrite or possible future dialogues or just my fantasies.  And they are all so intense that they play like movies in my head. 

    When I read a book, I don't read fiction very often, then I feel depressed after the story is over because I want more and I want to be in that movie again and the story to go on.
