In Astra’s first run contributor, American novelist Leslie Jamison, published an essay called Dreamers in Broad Daylight; Ten Conversations, which showcases Maladaptive Daydreaming through conversations with ten people in the authors life.

In another essay, Daydreaming in Progress, Jamison explains how she landed on this topic and her experience of writing the piece. She says, in part:

So I started daydreaming (ha!) about writing about daydreams. I wondered: Did other people daydream like I did? How did people daydream differently? I started asking people about it. I started asking everyone about it. Their responses became part of my Daydream Dossier as well.
