Yes, absolutely. "Saving the Day" scenarios can be very empowering. It's funny how a daydream about rescuing something can morph into realizing a solution for a real life situation.
I wouldn't have ever created any art without fantasy. Additionally, I don't get up in the morning energized about the fact that the most eventful thing in my day will be cleaning the bathroom. As the warm steam wafts onto my face from rinsing the tub I might think about being at a Japanese onsen instead. With hunky celebs lounging about is even better.
A rich fantasy life saves me from the repetitive tedium of my life. I've never understood, nor entirely believed, those who claim to live completely in the here and now.

Being a vane egotistical self-righteous prick doesn't get you any further, friend.
Who's the prick? Where is it? *looks around* 0_o

Wrong. It's sounds like you are dead inside. Your small and defeatist attitude is what gets you no where is life. Go cry in a corner.
The fantasizeers will cry in the corner since they are the ones who are so dead inside. There is no life inside or outside the self when all you have are illusions to comfort you.

They do when you are foreveralone and can't score pussy.
If you want something real badly enough, go and get it. Take the many failures along the way in order to have a win.

Hm... not something I've really fantasised about since I was ~15. I stopped around the time I realised that if I were the only person able to save a different world or whatever, they would be screwed.
My escapist fantasies go more along the lines of 'this is what I'll be doing one day once I have some success with my career'. They're oddly similar to reality, just with a slightly nicer home and more pets.  |

Thats just too much pressure. Id rather be support then the only one who can save a world. Cause all you see are ones where the good guy wins. What if the one you goto is different and its the bad guys turn to win. Atleast im im support id have a better chance of surviving.

I do it at random, but its more towards a problem I had or am scared I will have so I prepare my self to what I should do just in case a situation goes wrong if I feel like it might. To me thats pretty odd lol.

I do, but I don't imagine it happening to myself, but to characters I create. |

I don't, really. I usually only fantasize about myself when I'm not thinking about it. However, I do fantasize about other people and their lives if they were some heroic figure, among other things. It makes writing for other people not like myself a lot easier, I find.

Actually, they get you very far in life. Daydreaming is beneficial to our health, and increases productivity. |

You can't have something if its not there to begin with.

Technically if you can think of it, it exists.

It only exists in your imagination, not necessarily in the real world.

Nothing wrong as long as your imagination can feed you.
That's why I kinda envy loonies.

The world already depends on me. Everyday I am fighting against the ninja vampires who believe humans are scum. I am a ninja vampire myself, but I am part of the faction that believes we should coexist with humans, and not destroy them. I have to slay my fellow brothers and sisters everyday. My faction believes in me, and I must help keep the human race alive.
