When I lay down to go to sleep I always pretend that I am a king in a larg protected castle to help me feel safe and secure in bed. I'm 22 years old and would consider myself pretty mature for the most part. Does anyone else pretend to be a Well protected leader while they are trying to go to be or am I a freak of nature?
I don't think it's weird. I'm almost 24 and I still jump on the bed at night so that nothing grabs my feet from under the bed. I also have to use covers on my whole body because when I was little I had this idea that a man would chop off my arms and legs if they weren't covered up. If that makes you feel safe just do it.

haha I did the same thing. Where you cover yourself in bed because you were afraid someone would take your feet off. I am so glad I am not the only one that thought that.
Well I do some prtty weird stuff in my bed. Do you wear a cape and crown lol. It does seema bit odd for someone of your age though.
but how do you pretend, what do you actually do while pretending to be a king?
Do you pretend that your mistresses are feeding you grapes and drumsticks too?
While your particular actions are probably uncommon, it is quite normal to employ some type of relaxation/security technique while falling asleep. Furthermore, it is VERY common to employ some type of ritual before falling asleep, such as thinking about your future, or looking forward to something fun, or imagining yourself doing something exciting. I used to imagine myself on a medieval battlefield when I was a teenager. Why? Hell if I know. It was just an interesting fantasy, I guess.
Not normal..
But have you done it all throughout your life? It could be your safety crutch.
