Age Dreaming

What is Age Dreaming?

Age Dreaming is an umbrella term for those who’s Headspace does not fit beneath the Age Regression umbrella. it is a diverse, individualistic experience, which is different for each person. the headspace is usually controlled by the individual and voluntary. it may encompass those who go into a child-like headspace for fun, those who act/behave like a child non-sexually, those who’s headspace is both “child” and “adult” (aka not fully ‘regressed’), those who consider themselves to be a child and partake in a lifestyle of reliving childhood, and those who just enjoy the aesthetics and comfort of childish things. in all cases, age dreaming is a nonsexual act, not related to kink or NSFW activities.

Who can Age Dream?

"Ageplayers" who do not comfortably ID with the term “ageplay” as it has been highly sexualized and also used as kink term. “ageplayers” who are completely nonsexual and nonkink related can use age dreaming instead.

Age regressors who don’t necessarily “regress” because they are always in the headspace of a child and living their lives as a child again and do not have an adult headspace.

Those who regress for fun.

Those who enjoy the aesthetic and the act of being small but may not actually regress.

Anyone who feels as though they have a mindset or headspace similar to regression but not exactly regression, or their regression fits outside of the definition of what regression is.

Anyone who feels age dreaming fits them because their headspace differs from the normally accepted regression headspace.
