I'd look at what else is going on in your life, treat the fantasy as if it were a dream? What happened 3 months ago to escalate the fantasy thinking instead of whatever it was being dealt with? Look also at clean/dirty and metaphors, "tumble" in the dryer (instead of the "sack") comes to mind? Someone else, one's mother being in charge of one and telling one what to do so we didn't have to think; being clean and fresh and neat, without wrinkles are all positive/pleasant thoughts. I enjoy the Febreze commercial where the animals get put away and the floor sprayed and she turns around and they're all out again, nose pressed to the floor There are some good smells and the warmth of freshly dried towels, etc.; what's not to like?

You are in charge of what you choose to think about. If you want to concentrate on looking at and working with your life as it actually is, you can; not easy if you have spent a lot of time thinking about a fantasy instead but still doable.
