have you ever stared off into space(zone out) and let your mind wonder?

[Crimson Loyalty Dash 29]

have you ever caught yourself stating into space? I have. when I stare into space, I usually don't think about anything in particular, but at the same time I do but I don't realize it until I truly think about it. like the other day my friends where talking about black rock shooter or bleach and I started to think about some of my favorite songs. none that are too outlandish like leek spin or anything like that, mostly just dub step songs like flight by tristam and braken, or  beyond her tomb remixed by TLS. but as I started thinking of these songs I started to remember flight's rhythm of beat, whatever you want to call it and I started to hear rainbow factory by WoodenToaster. I love the song but when I think about the rhythm I start to just loose myself in the song. when this happens I tune out everything around me an only focus on the rhythm of rainbow factory, if someone needs to get my attention they literally need to shake me out of this trance-like state. this has only happened about 3 times so far, but I was curious if anyone else gets so absorbed in the song that they kind of tune out reality. or am I the only one?

I have once! It was weird. It was when I was younger at a basket ball game I was playing for fun. I decided to take a break from playing. While I was just laying there, thinking about nothing, everything started turning black like at a pixel at a time. Of course, It got my attention and I quickly snapped out of it.

oh yeah i do that all the time in maths. and school in general.

[Lollipop 16]

I am guilty of this. Everyday on the bus to and from school I completely zone out and stare out the window with my head phones in. Sometimes I can be in class listening to the teacher, somewhere in there I blank and I realize I wasted ten minutes without realizing! You are definitely not alone.

[Larkybird~ 734]

Quite often actually. Usually when I'm incredibly bored or starting to grow tired.

[Pando cookie 38]

I do it all the time! I have ADHD though.. .-. So that's normal for me... but yeah, it's weird. I normally think "How long was I out?" because I go wayyyyy off somewhere in my head. Most of the time, I can't even remember what I was thinking about. Sometimes I find I play games better when I'm spaced out xD Not sure why. Maybe I'm just that good.

good so I'm not the only one XD

[The Leafeon Pinkeh 3,603]

All the time xD And apparently I look spaced out when I'm simply thinking. I'm very absent-minded so I can get easily lost in thought and not hear things being said right be me.

@@Crimson Loyalty Dash,

I've done that before. Often times, while I'm at school, a teacher will start to give a lecture. After what I think is a minute or two, I realize I have no idea what the teacher is talking about, and I'll snap back into reality.

 

I've had hallucinations while like this, though. One time, for some reason, I thought that we were doing an assignment where we got transported into an alternate reality that was really minecraft. What's odd, though, is that I can FEEL these hallucinations happening. Like I could feel the wood in my hands, the grass on my feet, ect.

 

I've only had one Pony one, though. I thought that our assignment was to Turn into Pegasus and fly up to the sky and control the weather, and that Twilight was my teacher, with RD as an assistant teacher. I snapped back into reality and was disappointed. Turns out I had been in Science and we had been talking about the Stratosphere. I had been knocked out for pretty much the whole class. <- that's EXACTLY the look I got from my teacher.

I usually do my best thinking during or after I zone out, actually. I always zone out when I'm trying to sleep, and it can make me an insomniac sometimes, though.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

All the time, many times were people are calling out my name and I realize I was. Often I don't really realize it, it happens a lot to me. I'm a rather absent minded person.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

I do it...a lot. Sometimes people have to snap me back into reality. It one time happened in piano lessons. 

[Bastion 414]

It lets me clear my mind, And I make sure its at night to let the cool breeze brush through and if I see the moon, I think of Luna mainly and I think, I'm not alone out here.

Concept of reality shatters in the process

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

Happens to me all the time. When I was in school, people would often get mad at me for staring at them. I never realized I was staring, I just zoned out while looking in their general direction. I still do it quite a bit.

[Adorkable 2,737]

That's usually when some of my deepest daydreaming occurs. I sometimes zone out so hard, I'm confused when I come back to reality. ^^"

[Crimson Loyalty Dash 29]

it happens to the best of us adorkable

[Scootalove 10,689]

I'm always staring off and letting my mind wander when I'm in school, due to so much boredom.

[Star-Gazer 202]

Happens to me all the time. Hell, I can do it on command. Whenever I want. :3

[Colorful Respawn 399]

Well, you're not really staring into space, probably either out a window or at the ceiling, but not into space. Yes sometimes I do that.  

[Envy 6,162]

I don't even have to zone out for my mind to wander. My mind almost never stays in one place. lol Even when I'm working, I'm constantly daydreaming... Unless the work is so frustrating I'm thinking about how frustrating it is, instead, and that's how things have been lately. *sigh*

[Yozer247 1,006]

I manage to that a lot during school and even while walking home, my entire body just goes into autopilot ^^

 

Although it gets a bit annoying sometimes when im trying to understand something at school, I try to stop it by thinking to myself "don't fade off, pay attention" and doing that thought involuntarily triggers a string of thoughts that then set me off staring at the wall.

[Looking Glass 197]

i do it quite often, both intentionally and otherwise. sometimes i even think about space when i stare into it!

 

(of course, i also think about alcohol and drinking when I'm drunk, but that's another story! )

[Hovershy 3,814]

I do this all the time, especially in school. People sometimes get annoyed with me because I zone out when they are talking.

[Graveyard Duck 150]

As a student in research, this is practically my job.

[inactive_user 367]

I do this on pretty much a daily basis... Usually when I'm around a bunch of people and have to try to be social... It's just so much more satisfying to just... Think to myself in such an instance.
