<p>I once talked with one of my teachers about fantasy, who told me, people's imagination just like everything else, develops with time.</p>
<p>A child's story is much more like a fairy tale with dragons, heroes etc. while a grown up's is closer to reality. I read through some of your comments, blog posts, and realized, there are people among you, who daydreams about themselves as successful, ideal versions of their current selves, or there are maybe those whose daydreams aren't positive, but…</p>

<p>A child's story is much more like a fairy tale with dragons, heroes etc. while a grown up's is closer to reality. I read through some of your comments, blog posts, and realized, there are people among you, who daydreams about themselves as successful, ideal versions of their current selves, or there are maybe those whose daydreams aren't positive, but it's still stick to reality. (As the imaginary situation could happen in the real world, it's physically possible)</p>
<p>And of course there are people like me, with a complett, crazy fantasy world, full of magic and superpowers and different earths. I started daydreaming when I was very young, and my question is, do you think there's a pattern, and those who started DDing at a young age more likely have impossible daydreams, than those who started doing it later in their life? </p>

<p>Ps:</p>
<p>(My addition to the question is my own confusion, because honestly, until recently I categorized as daydreams only my complett fantasy world in a faraway land with nonexistent characters. Then I realized I do have daydreams about a different version of myself in the real world, like I imagine being born again as someone else and having a different real-life timeline. I spend a lot of time DDing that too. It's still impossible, because firstly I imagine myself as a boy, and secondly, I usually have magick, super intelligence or other abilities. But I also have thoughts about imaginary situations like: I want to be a writer (for real), and I imagine myself having a conversation with Graham Norton, where I'm already famous. - Now, I don't think this last one is bad, I think it's the normal way of thinking, planning ahead and maybe getting a bit carried away, but sometimes normal people imagine themselves having a conversation with famous people just for fun right? It's like thinking about the future for me. What do you think, is there different levels or categories of daydreaming?) </p>
