Is it normal for a 22 yr old to think of an imagniary life?

So I put this under dreams cause im not sure where it fits. So anyways it's not like I talk out loud but I still imagine things when I'm bored, alone or when I can't sleep. Like I would imagine me being someone else with a totally different name, life ect. and it would change sometimes but I mostly stick to one "personality" and i think of other imaginary people to go with the story or what ever and sometimes I would connect emotionally with it as I would cry or like act it out. On another note when i'm actually sleep dreaming it's never me who is in the dream, it's always someone who doesn't look like me who is supposed to be me but in the dream it self I believe it's me, so I dunno if these two things are related :S I know i sound crazy but I just wanna know if it's normal or if I should seek help.
Do you think it's normal?

yep, my parent got a divorce when i was 8 and never seen my dad since "he was my fav" and almost got rapped when i was 7 and then when i was 11, but fortunately i was spotted just in time... anyway, but like i think it's just fantasizing about the life i wish i lived or would be living? but the only thing that scares me is what if in time i mix it with reality giving that i get emotionally involved sometimes!

It's normal to think like that sometimes.
Try & make your own life as similar to the life you 'dream of' as possible...
it is probably because you aren't satisfied with your own life & you feel the need to pretend you're someone else in a different body/life etc.

Well I do imagine a diffrent life, when I am alone and have nothing to do. Part of the reason I took up writing.
