Fantasy

from Mental Health Training · host Cerys

What is fantasy? Fantasy is a mental image of objects, people or scenarios, which is not present. Some experts distinguish between conscious fantasies, and daydreams, or unconscious fantasies. Who has fantasies? Almost everyone has fantasies, but they are usually experienced most intensely by young children and teenagers. Small children have very vivid inner lives, often inventing imaginary playmates or imaginary best friend. However, in their early years, they sometimes find it difficult to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Imaginative play is part of their emotional and intellectual development, helping them make sense of new experiences and relationships with family and friends. The fantasy media has certainty made money by franchising its merchandise to promote this illusion.  Nevertheless, this has produced some big box office events with fan-engagement with previous films and fantasy television drama box sets in demand.  Learn more: https://mentalhealthtraining.info/news/relationships/fantasy
