yes I escape into daydream world all the time. Playing out scenerios of me being a savior or being saved. Daydreams of what I would do if money was not an issue or if I had the powers to read minds or if I had the powers of suggestions or if I had the power of anything I wished for out loud would come true. Excessive daydreaming is an escape and a way of isolating and avoiding.
It has tappered off a lot since I started therapy but when severly stressed or depression takes me down I go back to it.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
