Is it normal to have tacticle paronoid dulosional vivid daydreams?

I Have very vivid daydreams as if it were really happening and then I try to make my way out of them alive for example I daydream someone is breaking in my house I can picture it in my mind with my eyes wide open I play it out in my mind but it seems so real at times it starts with him coming in the door I start thinking whos home my child my husband and then what do I do with them first I hide my child If she is found my dream starts over if I die the dream starts over if anyone is harmed it starts over I continue to play it out in my mind it ends when I either kill the intruder or everyone makes it out unharmed
this would be one of my better daydreams they get worse I call them "what ifs" or "tactical paranoid delusions"
Is this normal? Is there anyone else out there like me?

    Schizophrenia? If you are having hallucinations of things that are not really happening while you are awake on normal bases you might have this issue.

    I do this too its call mental preparation and can help the out come if this ever happens. The rest is just having a good imagination. I suggest physical preparation.

    actually, just yesterday i was thinking to myself while having a bbq at friends house 'having a nice fun bbq? lets think of all the horrible things that could happen with that hot hot cole'

    i do that as well, i think it doesnt bother me as much though, but yeah sometimes i find myself really angry or scared just imagining scenarios

    It's okay, nothing really unusual, but you should talk to a doctor about it if it's really bothering you.
    I think it's very common to picture bad scenarios in your head and then see what you would do in that situation, but if they become obsessive or disturbing, then you have a problem.

      Agreed here.
      I think like you do. Always daydreaming and developing the dream as I go by exploring every possible outcome. They replay and replay. And you know what? It's fun :D
      When I'm bored and I start having a good daydream then I don't want it to end. I WANT to explore the other possbilities. It's like my own personal movie with alternate endings!
      But ya, if they are obsessive or disturbing then that's where the problems start.

        Thanks you make it sound awesome I have good ones to. Some are disturbing but I just feel like its an instinct to protect myself or child in a situation. In developing these kinds of daydreams I to can change the good ones for alternate endings and if there really good i can press replay its not bad to me I ust thought it was strange. I thought I was weird and the only one on earth. lol
