I imagine I have been through tough events or others have. I imagine my fantasy husband dies ... very weird I know, but I think it's because I have had to deal with abandonment in my life and by imaging a loved one who's died I can focus the real grief I have on an imaginary scenary where it wasn't someone's choice to leave.
I don't think I am an emotionally/mentally strong person so by imaging that I've been through bad things I can pretend that I am a tough cookie who can deal with bad things. Also I think I channel some of my real life negative emotions into the fantasy: I haven't worked out all my issues yet, I'm not in touch with myself at all, so it's easier pretending a reason for how I feel to deal with the effects.
I hope this makes some sort of sense!
Ayee James. Do you daydream about negative things happening to you or around you that you would never ever want to actually happen? Like traumatic things happening, but you don't ever want it to happen, and know you wouldn't be able to deal with it if it did?
