I've always done it as a way to escape from real life, so fixing things in real life is kind of the only way to go. I'm happy with my life in the present, but the past is hurting me and my daydreaming is very much centred on imagining a different past.
Therapy actually seems to be helping, because I think about therapy instead of daydreaming. I sometimes have fantasies about therapy, e.g. doing something in the room that I wouldn't do in real life, but it's the real me, in my real therapy room. I sometimes send my T to an imaginary supervisor in my head, but it's my real T, talking about our real sessions.
I think it's a step forward for me to fantasise about real people - me and my T - and not change us in my head.
