Is it normal to feel like daydreaming can bring you to insanity

I'm a smart kid, so I've been told. But in my spare time I think. I have these daydreams or fantasies (not sexual) about my life going different if i had the powers of god. Or of me being a powerful illusionist. I think, too much. I feel like I have to slow down because I feel like I'm heading towards insanity. I should note that I think I have depression. Any thoughts? Please don't be mean and fyi I do have a great social life.

    lol you are not "heading towards insanity". You sound like an intelligent imaginative kid with perhaps too much time on your hands. You should channel your ideas into something productive, like writing short stories. I think you'd be brilliant at it.

    They say insane people don't know they're insane.When your daydreaming/thinking interferes with your social life or your overall health, then you should worry.

    When you think such things you begin to believe them that's why

    Don't worry, I think this is a typical daydream. You'll always hear people discussing which powers they would love to have; flying / invisibility / super strength / etc.

    Daydreaming is normal. Too many people think that just because they're adults, it means they have to stop using their imaginations. It's this attitude that causes those with vivid imaginations to question their sanity and not speak about their daydreams. But using your imagination is a great coping mechanism during hard times, and it makes good times even better. It also keeps you in touch with your inner child.

    So yes - normal, healthy, and something a lot more people need to do.
