Is it normal to be obsessed with protecting someone

I often fantasize or dream about a situation where I could protect someone from harm. I fantasize that I would come across someone weak being picked on or threatened and then proceed to save them. I'm not sure why I think about it all the time. I just seem to be obsessed with idea. Is it normal?

    I do the opposite.

    You are my nemesis.

    We all would like to be heroes, it's quite normal.
    But obsessing about it and allowing it to take over our lives is not.
    You may get the opportunity one day, but don't think it will change anything in your life; it won't. You will still be the same person and whatever you thought you'd gain by becoming a hero, you won't.
    I've personally saved two people's lives (separate incidents) at some risk to my own, without even a thank you. No biggie, but......
