Is it normal that i listen to music and run around and pretend things?

Okay, so ever since I was little I've had this made up world in my head. Sometimes I'll listen to music on my ipod late at night and run around my house pretending I'm a a celebrity singing or something weird like that. I have families made up in my head that don't exist and I incorporate movies I see into it. I feel like it's so freaking weird and I've never told anyone that I do it! Except my parents when I was little, because I went crying to them one night saying that when I listen to music I pretend I'm someone else and they told me it was perfectly normal and not to worry. Now I'm 20 and I still do it!!!!! I would do it in my dorm room as a freshman in college when my roommate wasn't there, and I did it in my apartment when my roommates weren't home. I just put in my headphones and run around. Does anyone else do this or know someone who does?

    I'm 21 and I do that, seriously. I'll stick some earphones in my ears and start running around the house, I like to stand in front of the fire place in the living room and pretend I'm playing a live show, I headbang & do signature moves that vocalist of my favourite bands do when they are on stage. Nobody knows I do this and it's not like I keep it a secret or anything. I think it's normal plus it burns calories (I usually dance around for an hour or two) besides there are stranger habits that some people have.

    Dude I do the same thing! I'm a huge anime/Marvel Super Hero fan, so I would listen to the themes of my favorite Superheros, or my favorite anime hero like Goku, Vegeta or Naruto and jump around the house imagining that I'm fighting as them or protecting people. I've been doing this since I was 10 (I'm 18 now) and the way it started is that I used to watch wrestling and whenever someone's entrance came up that I really liked, I would jump around the sofa and act. This spilled into fighting movies and such, and even now, when I watch a good Marvel movie I get the urge to run around.

    I run around and throw Molotov cocktail and listen to them gently exploding and pretend to be normal. It's a similar problem.

    I do the same thing. I spend more of my time daydreaming than I do in the real world, and music only intensifies it. And I can't listen to music and daydream without moving around too.

      OMG! I'm the same exact way!!!! I thought I had some strange problem, but I see I'm not the only one lol. I like daydream I'm a celeb and see who I'm dating, how it's going to happen, when, where everything!!! And like a user said above, I do sometimes incorporate movies I've seen into these moments. Sometimes, I may be myself, and I try to do things I wouldn't do in real life, or maybe would. But yeah like you said, music intensifies it lol! It's is seriously sooo awkward when you're caught too.

    Music promotes imagination in some people.
