Daydreams is a graphic novel about a young artist suffering from Maladaptive Daydreaming and his journey through different dreams to return to reality. Modern life with many worries can make people turn to daydreams and other worlds inside their heads in the hope of being relieved from difficulties, even if for only a brief moment. But with the help of friends and their own efforts, they can still find hope in the present to leave behind non-existent dreams and move on.
“You lost all interest in this world
You were disappointed and discouraged
So you abandoned your physical body
You went to a world apart and lived a different life there
In a world inside your heart” - 1Q84 | Haruki Murakami
