Are you living in reality or are you living in a fantasy world?

I also have a fantasy boyfriend. I too have a fantasy work, a fantasy group of friends and a fantasy home, sometimes even fantasy dinners.

Is nothing else other than coloring reality.

In the end, the only way to be a visionary, is to allow space for these parts - not to take over to the degree where reality is losing its grip or its importance, but as many have pointed, to have one eye looking on the earth and the other looking towards God, or whatever that means to you. A better world.

We can be realistic about it and all things real, which is the preferred thing.

But instead of laying in misery, we can also become artists - alchemists and grow our way towards something beautiful.

Fantasy isn't always bad, although it has been judged by many traditions and cultures.

I understand the problems but I too see the gifts. Is a way, amongst many, isn't it

I have a fantasy life in New York City.
With a custom buildt sport trike.
Selling 3D printed sculptures.
And releasing a debut album.
And playing theatrical live shows.
With colored fire and a stage set based on my artwork.
As a masked and costumed stage character that breathes green fire.

All of the above needs to be financed by more $$$$$$ than what I presently have.
This is the first time I have said any of the above publicly.
First time revealing the inner dreams where others can see it.
And think and judge what they will.

It's considerably harder to daydream in my 30s than it was before. It's harder to trick my mind.

@CrazyMusicLover is it... Why though?
Maybe you need extra oxygen and some sexy motivation;)

@Boeing Life didn't feel like such a mess before, at least I had clear goals and aspirations. Now I feel like I need to fix this mess before I can let my fantasy loose. I was also meeting people before, now I live in isolation like a hermit, nowhere to get inspiration from, no feedback from other people to me as a person.

i'm trying to focus on reality more ☺

@GoFish that's also needed of course!

@Boeing yeah i like my dreams but trying to focus on implementing real stuff ☺
I write, and sometimes the characters live in my head, I can hear their voices, they talk to me. My favorite was Charlie Red Elk. I can still hear his quiet voice talking to me, teaching me words of wisdom and showing me how to be a better writer.

I get pulled out of reality at times,all while my feet are firmly grounded with secure footing. I am a dreamer.
Too much reality is unrealistic. 😉

@NudasPriest I love that, makes so much sense
ElyssTTTrucks · 100+, M
@NudasPriest Too much reality numbs and dulls one's inner life.

I think reality keeps our feet on the ground while imagination gives us a reason to look at the stars The beautiful part is finding someone who can appreciate both I'm curious do you think the right person can turn a little fantasy into something real?

Nothing is real until it receives your love.
Nothing provides happiness until it becomes fantasy.

I spend every day loving the world around me, but it does not flourish into happiness until I think of what that love means in the world not around me. So when I make believe it’s always based on what I know rather than what I don’t.

Great words to live by. Thanks for that!

I switch between the two worlds

My world is basically fantasy anymore. The real world has dealt me some harsh cards over the last few years so at least in fantasy I can imagine better things.

Our perceived reality is nothing more than our projection of our hidden fantasy, in all cases.

What we fantasize the most about is what we manifest into our reality.

If our life sucks big time, it's because we fantasize about our life sucking in a very big way... and then our vision of life is made manifest exactly as we envisioned it to be for ourselves.

Therefore, if you no longer want your current lot in life, then stop thinking it!

@swirlie very true, perspective counts for a lot.
