Is it normal that i sometimes make up scenarios in my head?

I sometimes think up random scenarios (been doing this since I was a child) it could be a great moment, or a bad one. One time I thought of a scenario where I was beaten half to death, and I knew it wasn't real. But it still freaked me out. Is it normal?

  • It's called daydreaming, and it's very normal.

  • Depends on the situation I guess.

    Gaming out what to do if a gunman started shooting up the restaurant you are at, ya that I'd say is normal. If you are thinking of how to evade capture by the CIA while you are at a wedding, no likely not normal.

    At least unless you pissed off the CIA.

  • I was talking about this on another question a few seconds ago. I think it is normal to play out scenarios for problem solving, it would be a useful instinct to have in caveman/hunter gatherer days.
