Is it normal to have a totally different life in my head?

So for almost 6 years I have fantasised in my mind about living a totally different life that is not real. I wont get into detail about what I have created in my head but it is like I have created a whole new life in my head. I think of stuff at random times of the day , especially when I am in bed at the end of the day. Is it normal to have these fantasies of a different life? I am often very optimistic about my goals in life and aim for the highest. Maybe thats why? Can anyone explain for me?

thank you!

    I'd say normal. I find myself doing the same thing at times. I still think it's important to see things how they are and not how you like them to be.

    I feel you should have shared what you have "created" in your head. It would help in determining if the fantasizing is entirely fictitious? Spurred by hindsight? About making uncharacteristic decisions?

    Of course, all the above is only relevant if you want to do something about your daydreaming. If you just want to know if there are others like you, there are. And this is normal. Esp. fantasizing at the end of the day -- incredibly common.

    I would suggest you watch the movie: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Nothing spectacular, but neat and thought provoking :-)
