I think it's normal, provided you don't let it detract from your real life.

its totaly normal
i also hav my own world in my head

its great cuz its releaves stress for me

OMG I do that too! I think about a guy raping me (NOT masturbating! I'm just thinking about it) and how it would effect me (like I'll imagine myself crying, if people touch me I would jump and when I see the rapist I would crumble and become vulnerable). I think of having conversations with my ideal boyfriend (he's not real) but I make him up. I pretend I'm in a surreal world and all that. Totally normal! But I also love video games because it takes me away from reality and reading...and dreaming! I hate reality...but what if reality, anyways?

Wow i do that as well, all the time. Surprising to see so many other people do it as well. I have whole made up story lines that I continue with and reinvent and stuff. I guess its not a problem until you start believing the things you think about are real.

yes its totally normal it happens to me all the time

same here. i rpg a lot so thats the cause for me. i always do romance and stuff like that. i thought i was the only one.ha.

I do this too. I've had the same made up sort of life for about 4 years now. The same characters generally appear but the scenarios change drastically. I think it's really just like reading books though. Authors imagine up whole other worlds and people and make money from it.

I don't make up a world in my head... but I do lucid dream a fair bit and I have sort of trained myself to go back to my favourite dreams again and again.

I do roleplay out conversations or situations like, out loud though. Like, I'll re-run some incident in my head and roleplay out what would have happened if I'd really acted on how I felt. Lately I roleplayed out suicide, although I'm sure that's normal.

Yeah i wouldn't worry about it, all good. Reality sucks, use your imagination. It's one of the things that makes us human.

I don't do this exact thing, I have recently started to explain things out loud to myself and pretend I am talking to people I know. And what I wish I could say to them. It makes me feel good to be able to speak my mind for once. I am alone all the time and have no friends whatsoever. I sometimes wish it was different, but so many people have stolen from me and hurt me I cannot trust anyone but myself anymore.

i do the exact same thing, you know, im starting to like this site, there are so many freaks like me in here.

anyway i have a great imangonary life, i love it, i have people that are my favorite people ever in it, but its no one i know, and its not that dude from twilight, i hate him.

I honestly thought that I was the only person doing this. Ive had a made up world in my head for the last three years. My acuality is not one that I want. So ive created a dream world and a better version of me in that world. It feels so real to me and sometimes I even forget that its made up. My world is realistic but at the same time dream like. How I wanna look, how I wanna be, and how I wanna live is reflected in my world. And its funny because I have actual conversations and realtionships with people. My dream land me knows what to say and when to say it, but my actual me would never know what to say if I was faced with the same situation that I face in my dream world.
I really wish that I could bring this character to surface but I cant seem to be that person unless im daydreaming. It also really consumes me. I find myself randomly jumping back and forth between worlds. I do it when im laying in my bed, when Im going on my way somewhere, walking, warming up my food, just anytime because it feels so real.

oh my GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i didnt want to post all that cause it would make me more of a freak, but its like you read my mind, in your world do you have speical powers? i do.

OMG!!!! I seriously am going through the same thing constantly, sometimes it shows that I'm obviously living in another world, when I was little it was really bad, but now that i've grown older it's just gotten a little more interesting. I even go by a different name in my world. Seriouly you are NOT weird i'm going through the same thing, if you're weird so am i. I saw this post and I had to read the story, I really thought i was the only person in the world like this!!!

Wow, I googled this topic and was braught here. I thought I was the only one too. I can remember the exact moment I started making up characters and places in my head, I was around 7 or 8, And I guess I was bored with no one to play with, and was walking around my yard. I go back to reality but it always came back to me whenever I was alone. And now I'm 20,and thinking whether to start writing things down about this. Same people and situations, I really wonder why I started doing this..

i do the exact same thing too and i was wondering what i should do about it so i decided to write it all down and actually i've already done about four unpublished books and it feels so good to have everything that i've thought of saved on my computer

its not wierd at all! It means you have a good imagination.When you next think of things like that,write them down and put them all together and make a story out of them,you could become a writer.

SAME HERE.EVEN I GOT MARRID IN MY DREAMS AND DID ALL TAT STUFF.CRAZY NA

It may even be a form of meditation.

Ooh, me too! I'm turning my world into a book trilogy. ^_^

Totally normal. I totally have these characters in my head with their own pasts and personality quirks and everything. As long as you're not really convinced it's real, because then you'd be sort of detached from reality, which is kind of bad. *Understatement*
