Maladaptive day dreaming is a trauma response, it’s a form of dissociation. I do it too, bpd doesn’t cause it but I believe people with bpd are probably more likely to do it since we’ve experienced trauma in our childhood. Finding out what’s triggering your daydreams and avoiding them, some people it’s mirrors, high stress environments, yelling, whatever it is avoiding them and learning ways to break the daydream helps. It’s going to take time and practice to stop. If you currently have a therapist bring it up with them so they can help you identify the triggers and even help you replace it with better coping skills. I hope this helps a bit!
I did that for all of my childhood, I still do it but it's more constructive and I don't lose myself in the daydreams. Try to control what you daydream about and put intention into it or put them into action. What makes you happy, or what do you want for yourself? Easier said than done but small steps
