Is it normal that i have created a dream life for myself in my head?

Almost every night while I'm trying to fall asleep or during times when I'm bored and doing absolutely nothing (yes, I've done it in class too), I think of my "other life". It basically revolves around me having a boyfriend. In my head, I play out dates, living together, doing things couples do together (e.g. travel, spending time with each other's friends and family), and even fights and sex.

    Oh yes.. I found myself doing that more and more lately.. It has to do with the fact that I'm not satisfied with my life right now. There are many things that are yet to happen, I want things to come and workout already.

    It's completely normal for every human to have their own daydreams and desires. After all, how can one stand the thought of cruel reality? What we can or cannot do..

    But sometimes it's better to have your life in your own hands.. Everything has it's limits.. don't drown in your own fantasy.

    completly normal. We all have fantasies about make our lives more colurful and plenty of people have made a good living from it, too imagine a world without soap operas! Continue on dreaming sweet heart it's free can take you anywhere, you can be who you want to be and they haven't taxed it yet xx

    Everyone has a dream life. Didn't you ever read "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"?

    I too do that in mine I have someone who loves me and shares the same feeling in life. Where we have our ups and downs. Where he's my world and the only one that makes me happy and its the same for him and I've finally moved on from the past and my past one-sided love. There are many sometimes it this day dream or the one where my one-sided love is not one sided anymore and we both share the same feelings... yeah, I think its normal. I think its our way of protecting our selves to attain something we dont have right now yet need. we go around the problem so its half solved and later to be delt upon.

    Yes it is. I have a fantastic medieval world/life built inside this mind of mine and when I actually dream of it, I'm sad to wake up :(

    I've been doing this for years. My dream life is a complicated one. Dreams are powerful things, so maybe, your dream life will come true eventually.

    dreammoods.com might help you decode them. Good luck:)

          Hey, I don't have gold so there is no way to have a private chat, but I figure that the OP of this post is long gone so perhaps we could talk here.

          I saw that on a recent post you said that you were feeling like a 1 out of 10.

          I just want to say that I care about you and want to ask, is everything alright?

            Thank you for your concern.

            No, not currently... However, I'm sure I'll get out of this rainy cloud eventually.

              It's actually been raining all week where I'm at so I can literally see where you're coming from. Whatever is troubling you I hope you can get past what's troubling :)

              Also, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm pretty anonymous and I'd like to help you in anyway that I can.
