When I got older, it focused around romantic attachments and romantic themes. Now it's a mix of both with bits about being a fabulous wedding cake designer (which I'm going to school for).

But I've always dreamed that I was destined for greatness and a great deal of my disappointment in life came when I realized that I was simply lying to myself.

Like radioactivegirl said, I think it's only dangerous when you can't differentiate between the fantasy and reality. Otherwise, I don't see the harm.
I've always thought everyone did it to and maybe others do to some extent; that's why I've never really given it a second thought, but I seem to do it to an extreme sometimes and I have gotten caught up with it like Radioactive Girl said, and it's usually most predominant when things are going really bad. They were gone or at least minimized for several months and are starting to come back....
