My mind wanders to worlds of my own?

[Sarah]

I find very often that when my mind has the chance to wander that I drift off into my own little world. They tend to vary, sometimes being built around television series or books and involving characters from those or bringing my own in. Others it can be made up of entirely original places and people. Sometimes I just pretend I am having conversations with the people in my life in ways I can't ever seem to communicate in reality.

I generally tend to do this when I'm alone, and walking is what allows me to trigger it easiest. For instance, I can probably walk two or three miles through my house and not even realise it until I've finished and become aware that so much time has gone by. If I don't have the opportunities to drift into my worlds, like if I'm with friends for an extended period of time or I'm occupied with something to the point where I don't have sufficient time, I can get very aggitated and will be desperate for solitude no matter how much I may enjoy the company of those currently around me. Is there something specifically wrong with me, as in a disorder? Or am I just overly imaginative? I do many other strange things too but I feel I should keep my question focused for here. Can anyone tell me what this is or if they do it too?

It's perfectly normal. What you are doing is called Imagining. It's actually good, to the extent that you don't think about bad stuff. It stretches your creativity and lets you have an open mindset. I do it too.

I do that all the time. You are putting your self in a world better than reality. Perfectly normal. Although I ussualy do it right before I go to sleep. I just sit there with my eyes closed and in my own world. Sometime I even do it when I wake up, i dont even realize i am awake because I immediatly went into my dream world. I walk around thinking about it to, totally normal
