<p>I've invented characters that talk to me, I pretend that I 'm them, and through them I see various aspects of my character, my work, life in general.

<p>So, yes, I think that if daydreaming helps and inspires us, we should DEFINITELY keep it!</p>

it's not really about me but more of an autobiographical novel, but it's full of great intentions, my only problem is that i know the character is not real that's why i'm thinking it's better to write it.... to put it in reality somehow.

<p>fantasies and day dreaming are great- only the truly creativity- deprived don't day dream at all. between us, dreaming too little is probably worse than day dreaming too much. the problem is when it becomes excessive and keeps you away from the real world. if you learn how to keep the balance, it could be a gift, I guess. </p>

<p>I have not let go of mine partly for this reason. I'm trying to use my fantasies for better purposes such as writing a fun fanfic. Sometimes my fantasies reveal insights about myself that I didn't previous know about.</p>
