Me too. I have an uncle who's voice tells him that apple computers are evil, and now he throws apples outta windows... Huh... That sounded a lot better in my head... Anyway, whether these daemons are signs of skitzafrenia, or an imaginary friend, I kinda like the idea of having someone there when you feel like being yourself.

Everybody has a daemon. A lot of people just don't know it.

Maybe I'm not old enough for mine to truely reveal itself, but how do you know when it's your daemon, and not just your imagination playing tricks on you cause you want to have a daemon?

Technically speaking, a daemon is your mind playing tricks on you. o.- If you're seeing an animal that speaks with you then that is your daemon. It might change forms until you're entirely comfortable with a certain one, so don't be surprised if it appears differently each time.

I've been trying to imagine an animal, but it hasn't been working. :-(

Hmm. I'm not really the one to believe in Deamons and stuff, but hey, thats just my opinion. I reckon its just like your self concious talking to you. But hey ho different people have different beliefs. Honestly, when i was around 14 i believed the moon was made of cheese! =P I think its kinda cool you guys have daemon companions, if you do truely believe in them as you guys obviously do, which to no offence or anthing ^^ , you should have a good friend to help you through the hardest of times. =]

hmmm....this is getting too complicated for me. I RP in a daemon site, and my charrie's daemon always changes shapes there. He won't stay one shape for more than one post, normally. Maybe that's why I'm having a hard time deciding what mine should be....
But anyway, good for you guys. I'll see what I can do about 'finding' mine.

For those of you who want it, here's what I tried, and it sort of works:
1) Imagine your daemon as a small animal that can somehow hold on to you. Only imagine him/her when you don't have anything else to do. I started out with a tiny squirrel that held onto my upper arm. I would say a small bird on your shoulder would work. Don't try to imagine him/her moving or talking; just go about normal activities while imagining your daemon.
2) When you're used to that, start imagining him/her jumping around and moving. My little squirrel "loves" to run along fences that I'm walking by and then, when the fence ends, just back onto my arm.
3) That's as far as I am. I think next I'll try to imagine him speaking when I have conversations inside my head. But somehow I can't picture that. idk.

Oh! Those are some great tips! Infact, its really easy for me, cause I used to have a cockatiel that would sit on my head and shoulder. *sigh* I really miss her- maybe my daemon will be a cockatiel.

I suggest looking at The Daemon Page or joining the forums if you want to learn more about daemons.

Cheese, Whitey? xD Well, I guess if astronauts ever got hungry while on the moon... That's funny. Thanks for posting a daethiest's opinion, I was beginning to wonder if there were any. >>
Woo! Go Cindy! xD Those were awesome tips. Like seriously. Hope you don't mind if I add something...If you're having trouble visualizing your daemon speaking to you with the lips moving just have him keep his mouth closed and stare directly at you with an intense look whenever they are speaking.
Seasle, you don't necessarily have to settle. It's not like a requirement or anything, most people just like having a solid form that they can rely on to be the same always. You could just be a Changeling, or rather, someone who has a daemon with a form it goes to the most, but still changes frequently. There's nothing wrong with that. If you are projecting an animal - any animal - talking to you frequently and keeping the same personality and name no matter what the change of form then you have mastered your daemon.
A cockatiel daemon? x3 That'd be awesome! I hope that works out for you.
I'm interested in hearing names if you guys stick with projecting >.>

I'm totally a daethiest... Strangely, I don't think you have to. It's like an imaginary friend for me: I know he doesn't exist, but that doesn't stop me from imagining him. If he's real, which I doubt (but that's just me), it will become apparent, won't it? xD I'm a weird person, I suppose.

For now, my daemon's name is Downy, cause that was the name of my cockatiel. Right now, she's grey and white and likes to sit on my shoulder and cuddle with me, or preen my hair. Sometime, she'll fly off and land on one of the dogs for some reason. She occasionally flys off my shoulder or pecks at me if I'm doing something she doesn't like.
