I'm actually impressed and a little jealous that you can delve so deeply into your imaginary world as an adult. I used to have a very intense imagination as a child, but the intensity has been gradually fading as I have gotten older. It actually takes effort for me to use my imagination these days, as opposed to when I was a child and it would happen so easily and spontaneously. I worry that I will eventually lose my ability to daydream altogether.
Anyway, I would love to be in your position - I miss the days of getting lost in my imagination for hours. Something does concern me though, and that is that you said that you sometimes have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy and that it interferes with your job. Those can be signs that maybe your imagination is getting hard to control. If it continues to get worse, then t wouldn't hurt to get a psychologist's opinion.
IIN that I live in a fantasy world that gets in the way of my life?
