Is it normal to sometimes think that you are in a fictional universe?

Or a post-apocalyptic (where things were yet to happen) universe set in a ficticial book universe, like Harry Potter

When i was younger i thought that the world of Harry Potter, Homestuck, Doctor who, Mad Max and others could potentially be true, and that i was living in one of them and i just had to wait untill something extraordinary happened and just grab it.

A friend used to also think like this and i used to pull a lot of pranks on him like "making REAL magic", "Time Traveling"...
just fucking around.

I could just get so caught up in that situation that i couldnt think of anything else.

Is it normal or my experience as a child was pretty snowflakey?

    We all live in a fictional world created by our brain. I don't know about the mad max stuff but everything we think is real, is just our interpretation of reality, if it exists at all.

        a friend of mine told me to try LSD or mushrooms, not leaving them out of the question, heard pretty crazy stories about trips, even VSauce did a peyote trip

            And in terms of clarification, they really make you change your perspective on life and not in a gradual subtle way. The day before you take them you feel as you do now the day after everything changes it's scary but it's such an adventure I'd advise you to do research on them go on YouTube and Watch some of the videos there you'll learn some pretty cool things about drugs you may not have even heard of, for instance DMT, I'd recommend you listen to Terrence MC Kenna watch some of 'psyched Substance's videos they explain it all far better than I could
