I'm pretty practical about things in just everyday life and even in my life dreams/goals. But I fantasize about random things all the time- becoming a singer or dancer, scenarios where I meet celebrities I adore, preforming, acting, doing interesting things. Being less fat. Having more money. Making wine, visiting all my faraway friends, moving to Manchester, living in a fictional world. Some of my idle daydreams will become reality- probably not exactly as imagined, but rather similar. Most won't. I know this and it does make me a bit sad that I am just not capable of certain things but that's okay. It's just wishful thinking.

Sometimes I will imagine scenarios I've been through turning out the way they should've or the way I want them to and I think everybody does this even if they say they are down to earth and practical. It's no secret that we often think of things in our lives happening differently and "what if" scenarios. This happens to me all the time.

I was more unrealistic with my goals when I was younger. Gradually, though, I shifted a lot of my focuses and started to become more level-headed and practical with decisions. There are still times when unrealistic thoughts pop up, but, like Anna said, it's only wishful thinking.


"I do not belong to the world. That is the world’s limit, the boundary between the world and the self."
I fantasize about things quite often. Lately I've been wondering, if I got transported into the Pokemon world, how would they treat me? Would they seek to understand this strange world I come from? Or would they treat me like a dirty foreigner and ostracize me, even experiment on me? Would they understand the concept of how evolution actually works in my world versus how it works in theirs? Will they be shocked to know free healthcare doesn't exist everywhere in my world? Would they know about heavy metal? God, I think of the weirdest things sometimes.

Anyone who doesn't fantasize about things from time to time definitely has something wrong with them. Fantasizing is the sign of a healthy imagination and sometimes breeds creativity.

Still, it's important to keep a grip and focus on reality, so I tend to do that as well.

I fantasize a lot. I really wish this world was different. I won't go through the whole list but there are several different cases. I fantasize about meeting certain people, about becoming closer to people, about changing myself, about exploring and travelling, about life being more like anime, about having someone to talk to about anything, about finding 'someone', about everything... I spend so much time day dreaming but I've never had anyone to share this stuff with so it all gets stored up, but meh. Realistically half this stuff could come true, but I don't think it's likely. :p

I fantasize about a lot, actually. Many of them being conversations with people, or situations.. but sometimes I fantasize about very odd concepts or places that I like to make up.

From time to time I like to fantasize about fictional automobiles and hotels (go figure xD) that I create in my head, and of course my grandiose plans of being supreme ruler of the galaxy, but other than that I'm pretty grounded in reality.

That's actually how I get the inspiration for my writing a lot of the time. I'll just walk around aimlessly and daydream about things, and maybe listen to music sometimes. I imagine I look really bizarre doing it, but at least I'm not out of it all the time. The way I see it is that if I have time to daydream then I won't be doing it when I need to be paying attention or something. (not that that's always how it works)

Sometimes I send myself on adventures when I do that too, or I'll think up situations and conversations and all sorts of elaborate outcomes. That never really carries over into real life, except for maybe that I don't want to spend my life sitting around doing nothing. Besides, a little creativity and a sense of adventure never hurt anyone.

I completely blow at fantasizing or anything (this is why I'm not a writer). I mostly "keep it real" I guess, unless we're talking about creating art/music. I dream up music and art pieces in my head all day long. Too bad I'm too lazy to really make them most times. I wish I could be more imaginative. I want to write fantastic stories. I guess you just have to be born with that XD

And I think I'm too focused on life (men.....XD) and work/commissions to sit around and daydream. And I don't think I'd ever trade lives with anyone (well except for someone right at this moment, I have daydreamed being her, but only because of a real life situation going on). I'm pretty comfortable here and now aside a few kinks~. Especially after I vent emotions and since I rarely do that irl, blogs are great. Keeps me in total check.

I probably spend more time fantasizing about the worlds of my writing than I do thinking about the real world. I don't think that's normal. ._.; Not that I never focus on real things, I do when I need to. But if I've got idle time I don't. It's how I've been for years and years now.

It's pathetic, but sometimes I'm glad I do because it prevents me from focusing on the bad things in my life. If I'm left alone, it'll stick in my mind and I'll start to panic more than necessary about it.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

I'm literally thinking about new ideas for video games 24/7. I go for walks 4 or 5 times a day specifically so I can do that. Once I've thought up a game world that I like, I tend to put myself into that world and actually play the game in my head. The most recent story has gone on for a couple weeks in a new RTS I thought up. Can't really say anything about it, because it's one of my favorite games so far, and I definitely want to make it asap. I do literally continue the story every chance I get though, whether it be on a walk, on the can, in the shower, or in bed. lol

Btw, brb going for a walk. lol

I've been fantasizing all day about being on TV. Not a real popular TV show, just a nice drama that enough people watch to keep on air.
Yesterday I was fantasizing about moving to Utah.

I fantasize a lot. Most of the time it's with things that are impossible in this world and deal with a lot of fantasy stuff. You know! I'm kind of a head-in-the-clouds type of person.

That surprises me because you don't strike me to be that kind of person from the limited amount of interactions and such I've had with you.

I think lots of people here probably think I have my head up in the clouds and while I can agree with that claim, I think they over exaggerate the extent to which I fantasize or they take me too seriously / literally when I do fantasize.

I'm huge on fantasy. People tend to love 'down to earth' people, but I can't imagine a bigger insult than being called down to earth. To me that's synonymous with boring. I fantasise about everything; I live better inside my head than I do outside of it.

I tend to put myself into fictional worlds I've seen or read about a lot. I've duelled with other wizards in Harry Potter, I've helped Willow destroy demons with magic in Buffy, I've read out spells with The Charmed Ones, I've been a sleeper agent that got triggered by something unsuspecting more times than you can count... I've also been a Pokemon master, a Super Saiyan and a Power Ranger (sometimes at the same time!)

As I'm introduced to new things I tend to fantasise about them. It's just in my pathology :P
