Living in the world of fantasy is not a bad thing, just different than living in reality. There
are many reasons why people like to spend time in dreams, and they can be divided into
two types: a) The desire to escape from everyday life and b) The longing for the purest
form of playfulness. That’s how I define it and can help you understand why the idea seems
attractive to me as well. Let me start with a brief introduction to fantasy.
Fantasy is an artistic expression that creates a “fantasy world” (the imaginary place), where
“real” people or places are used only as vehicle characters and their relationships are solely
based on these imaginary situations as characters. It includes literature writing, storytelling
, fiction, and art that is focused on creating imaginary worlds rather than creating fictional
experiences and characters
There are also many other genres with elements that overlap both fiction and non-fiction
like sci-fi, mystery, comedy, and drama (I am sure there are more). However, I want to
concentrate on fantasy and its role as entertainment.
Fantasy is about imagining what people can do in a situation, the purpose of certain actions,
and what we can experience. This might sound pretty boring but imagine if you could have
been able to travel into di
fferent realms and see what was impossible to imagine for
yourself and others. Imagine the feeling if you had dreamed of moving into another realm
and seeing everything else that wasn’t possible. Now imagine how difficult this must have
been to achieve and even how much money had been spent…
The main difference between fantasy from real life is the setting. You can’t imagine a world
without some kind of setting. Cosmos on the other hand is about exploring the possibilities
of space, the mind, and time.
When living in a fantasy, every day is yours alone. No one can intervene to influence your
decisions. This makes it quite tempting for us. But the best part? This sort of freedom gives
us a fresh opportunity to explore new horizons in a way that it wouldn’t be if it were
limited by real limits. We would never dream of traveling into realms beyond our
imagination. Even though I don’t know anyone who doesn’t share my sentiments, I hope
some of these benefits of working in the imagination will convince you to do so too.
There are several elements of fantasy; some are related more directly to personal life and
less directly to personal experiences. Some of them are associated more directly with
religion and the spiritual world, whereas others are merely abstract conceptions of nature
and humanity, that are not very important to explore at all. For instance, wonder is often
connected to spirituality and sometimes it has to work with mythic beliefs.
Another distinction can be made with the use of symbols. When people are interacting in a
fantasy, they create images in their minds that symbolize things. These images represent the
underlying realities of reality and thus a symbol is used to convey specific ideas from the
subconscious. All these things can be expressed through imagery and metaphor, which is the most popular element at present.
The next distinction can be made using metaphors. Fantasy can be understood almost
entirely by a good analogy. If someone wanted to explain something to you by talking
about apples and oranges, you would say “by apple she means the fruit.” By comparing two
objects that don’t belong to the same category, the reader can better comprehend the
meaning of being in the environment, for example. This is the case with animals too. If you
tell somebody that they are a fox and a dog, it makes it clear that they come from different species. Another common example is given by people who try to think logically by saying ‘you have to assume that he knows that he isn’t right.’ In reality, it would be impossible to say what the logic behind this might be. So, instead of thinking logically, those who engage in fantasy activities can learn how to deal with uncertainty.
The last important distinction can be made in terms of human interaction. Unlike real life in
which we are naturally emotional and sometimes physically weak, fantasy does not require
people to be emotionally strong and capable. Many elements of virtual interaction resemble
this: having the ability to communicate with other virtual creatures and also having no need
to go to a physical meeting. Moreover, unlike real life, we can explore our feelings about
other humans. Perhaps the closest real-life comes to this is love. Sometimes we feel very
upset when somebody isn’t listening to us and there’s no chance to talk, but in fantasy interaction, it is quite easy.
Myths and stories of fantastical creatures are common enough. They usually show up in pop
culture, which can reach huge audiences. for example Star Wars (or Star Trek). Disney’s
famous animated movies and series are full of fantastic creatures and powerful beings that
we often hear about, imagining themselves in various ways. As usual, these depictions of
unbelievable creatures serve as a basis for myths and stories on various topics. Such
narratives can inspire children to explore new possibilities and to believe those possibilities
.
In summary, it seems that working in the imagination is great fun, it is exciting and
challenging but there is always a need to keep realistic limitations in mind, even though
people can sometimes find it hard to stay focused on their goals and responsibilities.
Working in the imagination brings a fresh perspective and lets us explore possibilities far
beyond the reach of our imagination.
