Ive always relyed on "Fantasy" both as entertainment and as a coping mechanism. Growing up I often escaped into my own little "fantasy" daydreams to help me deal with bad situations. Ive always loved emersing myself into a wonderful fantasy novel. As I grew up I started having issues with major insomnia..when i couldnt sleep I would just lay there and build up long and wonderful fantasy worlds. I still find myself often escaping away into short little fantasy daydreams whenever I have a few moments to relax. Ive always found that it is so super relaxing and calming to me. But on that matter..ive always wondered if its a good thing..or if it was just another way to avoid reality in my personal situation? Either way..i have to say its always enjoyable lol
I had a deep sleep yesterday after a late night chore, and couldn't sleep after about 7 hours, and continued to rest knowing it would be a long and unproductive day if I didn't finish getting my minimal 9 hours of sleep.
As I rested, my mind lead me to some of the wonderful places I've travelled, and the exotic locales I missed.
I wonder how what others do with "fantasy", and if it is part of your lives? With computing, wireless devices and less so with television, there are so many triggers to detract from connecting with "real" people....
