Is it normal to fantasize about another you while listening to music?

When I listen to music, I often imagine I'm someone else in a different world.

For example, I've been on a history kick (mainly the Revolutionary War) and sometimes I imagine I'm someone in that time and making a life for myself. It can be different each time. If I'm happy, I imagine things that'd be joyous (like getting pregnant). If I'm sad, I imagine tragedies (like finding out I have malignant breast cancer).

I can't listen to music without doing this. I don't even listen to the words most of the time. Just the music and the sound of the singing. I can't even imagine just listening to music with no alternate universe.

Oh and I have to moving. I can't sit an listen to music. Even on my computer, I can't listen to it. I have to be walking.

IIN?

    Its a little different for me, but I totally get it. I feel everything I listen to, with scenerios in my head. I'm not musically talented in any way, so I have to make believe, but that just makes it more awesomer :)

    I know what you mean. As I type this I'm listening to a song that just really makes me imagine something hardcore. Anyways, I think you're normal.

    I do that all the time. I zone out and have the freedom in my head to be whomever I want to be

    I'm the exact same way. I almost never pay attention to lyrics - the melody sets the tone for my daydreams. I even have to be moving around when I daydream! Ideally I like to run, but I will also pace if running isn't possible. I like to daydream about my favorite fictional characters and what it would be like to be friends with them.

    I make a lot of scenarios when listening to music about myself. Some are unrealistic, and some are well in the real of capable for anyone to do.

    I think it's normal, different but you sound like you have a n active imagination.
