It comes from my Insomnia since I was a kid, provoked by sleep paralysis, which made me understand how sleeping/dreaming works. That + having really good memory helps me thinking (remembering, thinking and imaginating stuff). Problem with my sleep schedule, which is fucked up by itself by the insomnia/terrors, is the ''thinking in bed''. Sometimes I found myself thinking on god knows what story which snowballed so hard the sun is already up. ZZzz
I like it, im good at it. And I dont wanna stop. Addictions are in base a way to escape ''reality'', even if your reality isnt bad. Just a way to be ''free'', at least IMHO.

Not to be a dick, but being a daydreamer, and having an addiction aren't really even in the same ballpark. And if you think to an unhealthy level of excess, it would then be a mental health issue before it would be addiction.
Lucid dreams are really awesome. It's much more fun than taking drugs. I can imagine someone getting obsessed with it since I personally know someone who is. But I wouldn't call it an addiction either.
Not to be a dick, but @Heathen, thats why I said ''problem/addiction/dependency''. But from my point of view, is the only thing that really makes me want more/need more. Not alcohol, not tobacco, not sex (idk about hard drugs cause I dont really care about those/tried them)
Like @HechtHeftig said, lucid dreams are simply perfection for me. You have no idea how many times I relived the same fucking dream over and over and wanted more of it. And as stated on my first reply, it's not a ''problem/addiction/dependency'', but it's the closest thing I know to it.
