Is it normal to have a imaginary world in your head?

I'm just wondering, is it normal I have a whole fantasy universe (with characters, settings, different eras,etc) that I have created over the years?
It's not like I "live" in it, but I do it as an evasion to boredom, like daydreaming while washing dishes, etc. Anyone else doing it too?

    My imaginary world is the same as this world, except for me being being popular and happy and non-depressing.

    • Don't forget getting the girl! Aside from that, I think you and I live in the same fantasy world.

    I tend to do this on the bus or when I'm walking alone. As long as I don't have anything to entertain my mind I escape. I think that's a form of escapism really.

    I have an imaginary world too. I don't have a lot going on in my life, so I use it as a form of escapism so that I don't get bored or lonely.

    I used to do that all the time, but at some point it got so lost in my fantast world, I made myself beleive that one day i could go there, because i hate my real life so much :P I kept believeing that one day i could suddenly pop into fanttasy world and live happily ever after, but when i finally started becoming happy with my life, i grew out of it, and visited my fantasy world less and less.
    now i only go when truly bored and am not crazy with it XD

    ... and my friends called me crazy! xD

    Yeah, totally! It's an island and everyone lives in tree houses, plus, if you touch the sea you get a mermaid tail! 8D
    It's also where my imaginary friends live when they're not walking around with me.

    FFFFFFFFF Okay, I'm a just a little bit weird... o-o

    In my imaginary world Dave Grohl follows me around and plays awesome theme music for my life.

    My imaginary world would include Howard Wolowitz, from The Big Bang Theory! If he can't be existant in real life, at least he can be in my mind. ;)

    i do to. it is very normal. people usually make their own world, when they are stressed, or people bully them.
