Reality is a Lovely Place
Reality is a lovely place, isn't it? But what if you could make your own world and spend an entire day in it, with all of your crushes there to flirt with, things going as you please, and adventures to keep you busy. Yes, reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't wanna live there (unfortunately I do). Many a time have I felt more than a longing to go to my own world I have spent so much time in and spend the rest of my life there. Lor is my alternate universe, where I can escape the clutches of Reality and run free and be wild. Giant wolves, centaurs, creatures of my own design, and much, much more roam the wildlands of Lor, while griffins, dragons, and others of my making soar above the clouds. There are terrible storms to survive, and beautiful sunsets to view. Lor is my escape from Reality. I can do as I please within Lor and d.ie as many times as I want and still live out the life I imagine for myself. Don't judge me. Because this is half of what keeps me sane. Some may say I'm interesting, odd, or even peculiar, but that doesn't matter. I'll be in Lor by the time the words leave their mouth. I go to bed at night immersed in an adventure, then wake up to feel the chill of Reality. You can thank Owl City and his song Reality is a Lovely Place for this thread.
I'll see you aroung the forums.

Preach it!
Lol, I feel sad for the people who make their own fantasy world and all they can come up with is their crushes accidentally liking them!
Once, I was in math class (it is my last class of the day so...) And I had this wild and vivid fantasy where a giant attacked the school, ripped a hole in our classroom wall. And I spent the rest of the class day dreaming about what I would do. Have you ever had such a vivid day dream that you get so involved, you don't feel the time pass? And you suddenly see what you are thinking, and feel it's it's like you dreaming. But your conscious. That's the type of exetreme fantasy that was. They don't happen all the time but when they do... OOOOOOOHHHHHH Thor! It's good!
I have a certain fantasy where HTTYD dragon s are real, but in the modern world. So there were dragon training schools etc, and I was attending one. We get out through these series of tests to determine what dragon we should take etc.
Sometimes I am listening to music and I get mentally inspired. And my brain does this thing, I close my eyes and I indulge in the music. My imagination at this point is so powerful that I feel like I'm watching a movie. And I watch as I fly on a dragon, sometimes in first person sometimes in third. And these mental movies are so vivid and life like, it turns from me imagining them, to be physically seeing them! If you haven't already try it! I find it easiest when I'm listening to an upbeat song that I am compassionate about. It's hard to find the words, because I SEE it. It's not just a sketchy picture in my brain, it's detailed and like I am there. Idk how to explain it!
That is EXACTLY how I am. Both of your posts described me perfectly! Especially the music part <3
Everyday I get extremely excited to go to bed, not only to sleep, but to just imagine things without any interuptions. And of course car rides are THE BEST. I pretty much have to listen to some sort of music every car ride. My mind goes wild XD
(Also, I love Owl City too XP that's the reason I clicked on this thread because I recognized the song lyric)
You all are spot on!!! Amazing how someone you've never even met can describe your feelings and imagination so accurately while your own family members can't understand it or disagree! Wow .... I sometimes feel like I'm a part of something much bigger then just me when i get in special states like this. It's like my true personality is coming out. I can imagine at night and it seem so real. (Note: I do not dream of unicorns:/) I do my most figuring at night when everyone else is snoring...but I'm very much awake...in my mind and soul!:D My entire self IS the music that's playing some people let themselves sinc with it and let it flow. Others cover it up because it's not "who they are or what's expected". But all of us have a lovely song waiting to be played and a voice and legs ready and longing to sing and dance their heart out. Literally...
note: don't take this as rebellion or believing in something not right, depending on that. But as a feeling trying to be described in words and passion!;)
