Is it normal to have imaginary worlds?

My whole life I am quite imaginative. People say I'm intelligent, but I'm not a genius or anything, I'm pretty much average.

I was always imaginating worlds and universes and that is the case today too (now I'm 18). There are always two types of them, ones which are completely fictional (fictional lands, races, languages etc.) and ones which are basically our world, just with some imaginative characters (they're usually what I would like to be or what people I would like to have around me). I'm usually getting really deep in that, in the first ones I'm creating states, races, money, languages (complete grammar...) and in the second complete biographies of those persons, and I'm usually going to the details. Sometimes i write down some of that, but usually I forget everything after a time period and then imagine new ones.

I have friends and normal life, and no one knows about that, cause I keep everything to myself.
Am I just normally imaginative, or I need help?

    Put that world inside a novel. I think you have a great imagination and I would love to hear more about it. Seriously I think you should write a novel.

      Good idea, but at the moment I have no time nor concentration to do anything bigger. But I started to write down the ideas, so we'll see in the future...

    Totally normal as long as it doesn't interfere with /or substitute your real life relationships or feel as an escape mechanism .

    I'm same and I started writing some stories... only problem is that they seem childish and stupid when I read them again after 1 year or such because I really change in 1 year -.-

    However, it's fun to invent stories...
    But I'm not really good in writing constantly because I usually stop at some point and don't write again within the next few weeks so it's kinda hard to finish a story -.-

      Same with me, I can't write anything that sounds good to me later, probably cause I change my ideas a lot through time...

    Make a book better yet make a game or make a movie! Would love to read it if you do make a book.

    I have an imaginary world too. Mine isn't very detailed though - I just like daydreaming about my favorite fictional characters.
