<p>Yes, I have incorporated the Olympics into my fantasies. There is so much media coverage of the events, and the world pays so much attention to the games, that it is very hard to ignore it as a venue for daydreams.

<p>Yes, I have incorporated the Olympics into my fantasies. There is so much media coverage of the events, and the world pays so much attention to the games, that it is very hard to ignore it as a venue for daydreams. I always found it easy to project my daydream characters into the Olympics. Better said, I always found it hard to <em>resist</em> projecting my fantasies onto the Olympic Games. There is the drama that embues the competitor's experience in training and competing, and of course, there is the glory of actually winning and even breaking world records. My most developed Olympic character was a female track and field star who won three gold medals. My fantasies are for the most part historical, so you could say she was a fantasy athlete of a past Olympic Games. But seriously, it is hard to think that even real athletes don't use their own inner vision of winning, to achieve their athletic feats. Imagining that one has done something is a tool to helping you carry it out.</p> Oh yes.
