Alright, I'm 18 years old, female. Well ever since i was like 6 years old, i lay down and i pretend i'm somewhere else. I pretend I'm someone else. Usually the most beautiful girl in the world or something like that. I will just lay there and move around or squirm or pretend i'm running or pointing at something, whilst laying down. Like i'm acting in a movie or something. I come up with lines i say, but i don't actually speak, i mouth the words because i don't want to wake anybody in the house up.
I like to pretend that i'm kidnapped or tied up or something, and a really handsome guy comes around and saves me, or something. And in my imagination, we usually kiss, but i pretend to kiss him, i kiss my hand or something :P
These days, i pretend i'm the hottest guy in the world, and every girl wants me, but i pretend i'm not interested in them. But eventually they find a way to make me like them and we end up..yeah :P
So does anyone else do this? I haven't found anyone anywhere that talks about anything like this. It's something i can't help, i have to. I wonder maybe it's because i want to feel wanted, or want something exciting to happen in my life.. but is it normal?

    This is near exactly what I do. Whether or not it's normal, you're not alone(:

    I sometimes act out scenarios in my head while I'm falling asleep but I've never physically acted them out. That's giving me a funny mental image. Haha.

    Yes I do this but with Video Games. Yup, I add myself to the game either as the main character (if a sandbox game), or as a main side character next to the main characters side.
    For example I will be the guy walking around the fallout apocyliptic wasyeland with my buddies improving the world and being a bad ass at the same time.
    But I can also be Commander Shepards left hand man (because obviously his right hand man is Garrus).

    That... and some other stuff to compensate... you know... forever alone and all that.

    haha i had similar fantasies and would always think up dramatic plots starring myself, as I was falling asleep. but i never acted them out in my bed. we all do weird cooky stuff like this, if this isnt adorably normal, I don't know what is...
