New Member seeks advice.

Hi,
I never thought I would ever openly discuss my "secret". I have been daydreaming and living fantasy lives since I was a small child, I am now in my fifties. I thought I was unique! I cant believe there are people out there like me.
As a child I was a cowboy and my schoolfriends were the townsfolk and I was the sheriff. As I grew into adulthood I lived a fantasy life as a singer/movie star married to a real life hollywood actress. This lasted for quite a few years, I'm now a famous and sucessful sportsman ( I'm 20yrs old in this life)
                    In reality  I am married, with children, and have always held a fulltime job in the construction industry. I have never been particulaly happy in my real life, but of course I have been very happy and content in my fantasy life. I daydream in bed, until I fall asleep, (which can sometimes be into the early hours) I also daydream when I awake and whenever I am alone. I am the singer on my favourite music, I star in movies I watch, it is now I believe affecting my life.
                 I have considered, albeit briefly what would happen if I was to permanently live in a fantasy life, and would it be possible. I have never been able to discuss this with anyone, ever, and would love to talk to someone who knows and understands the life I lead. Thanks.

Hey, I don't understand what advice you are seeking. When you say would it be possible to live permantly in the fantasy life, do you mean retreat into your subconsious and completely lose touch with the outside world? or to magically pass into the other world and vanish from this one. I have to admit I have had those thoughts. Those are the times I am probably borderline delusional.  I mean, I would wonder what I would do if a portal opened up in front of me, would I go through? what would the missing persons report say? even to the point of wondering if what I was wearing would be appropreate in the other world. Those are the times when my sanity is at it's thinnest. Can't believe I admitted that. Oh, well, that may not be what you're talking about at all. Anyway, welcome.

Thanks for the welcome,

I'm thinking more if, at very old age, when you're infirm and seeing out your days in a old folks home, spending long days immobilised in a chair or in bed, then I would like to retreat into my subconsious completely.

  I'm not sure about any portals opening up, I did try astral projection a while back without any success sadly. If it were possible for me to vanish permanently into my fantasy world, I would'nt hesitate, I'd be gone!
