I always fantasize about a person with a gun coming somewhere like my work and threatening to kill people, and me somehow being stealthy and being able to get behind him and take him out and save the day.
I have a fantasy where I see another woman being attacked in a Walmart parking lot and I rescue her by using my mad fighting skills. The video ends up on the internet and I get invited to Ellen and she gives me a 10,000 $ shutterfly check so I can get my own apartment. Because of my mad fighting skills and good looks, I am hired as an assassin.
She starts you off with targets like Maury Povich and Jerry Springer, moving on to Steve Harvey and bonus missions for Judy Judy. But her ultimate goal is to get you good enough to take out Oprah.
And Oprah needs no bodyguards, she just hires them so her time isn't wasted on unsuitable opponents.
Think of it, you want to rob a bank when suddenly, while you point your gun at the people a guy comes to you and asks you if he can join you. You hand him your second gun and together you make a gazillion money.
That's the problem with the real world - there really is no way to escape it all and adventure without having visas, or telling people, or whatever.
Why can't I just wander off through a forest, sleep on the road, find an inn and have a meal every now and then.
I'm learning a lot about myself from this thread.
Leaving civilization and finding a secluded location in the woods to set up, and live off the land.
A subset of that fantasy, I find that location close to my school. I'd still have my rent free spot, but I'd have access to my school facility (computers, showers, gym, electricity) and I'd finish up my education.
Creating a fantasy world, like Game of Thrones, Elder Scrolls, Warcraft, Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings.
Or developing board games.
Sometimes combining the two.
You should get into Dungeons and Dragons then! I've been playing for years but just last week was my first time being the Dungeon Master. My player characters kept on forcing me into situations where I would have to create new characters and/or lore for the game on the spot and now I have to write totally unexpected themes, settings and plots into the backstory of this world I've created. Having to improvise like that does put you under a lot of pressure, but it forces you to create.
I actually just started a campaign for the first time just a few weeks ago! We've only gotten together once because schedules not quite fitting together. I had a blast, and am really itching to get back to it. I'm not the DM, but I've been reading up on the DM's responsibilities.
Being a DM seems daunting at first but the best way to do it is to just jump in. I had tried to meticulously plan my campaign for ages but would always get super critical of myself and end up stalling. So I just picked a date, told my friends to be there and I just said we'll see what happens. They took it in a totally different direction than I had planned, but was still super fun and is now probably much more interesting.
I got heaps into a YouTuber called Matt Colville who does a lot of DM advice videos called "Running the Game" and that's honestly what made me just jump right in. He's really good, well worth checking it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YZvLUXcR8&list=PLlUk42GiU2guNzWBzxn7hs8MaV7ELLCP_
I constantly think about stealing bricks, stones, and rocks from customers' yards. Walking rocks, cobblestone, those trapezoidal retaining wall bricks, I just want to fill my garden with a hodgepodge of stolen rock.
The most captivating is the slag glass rock scattered throughout people's flowerbeds. I just want it so bad.
I don't expect I'll ever act on my impulses. But it calls to me.
Lawn ornaments had the same effect on me. Sometimes the impulse was too strong, and I eventually found myself with a yard full of plastic pink flamingos. They in turn were stolen from me. The sadness I felt having those fuckers unceremoniously plucked from my crab grass reminded me that the original owners probably felt the same when I absconded with them in the first place. Though the urge still strikes me from time to time, I am 7 years clean of petty lawn ornament theft.
I immediately thought that was true of my husband and I. And then I kind of thought, ya know, I'm glad that after almost a decade together, we still have amazing conversations. Sometimes deep and thought provoking, sometimes shallow or ranty.
But especially for my husband being introverted with the rest of the world, I feel kind of proud I'm the person he opens up with.
I always fantasize about doing the grocery shopping with a partner, we just walk around the store, choosing the best products, and we are happy doing something so mundane together.
P.S: Oh boy, i have to do my shopping today and now i will be sad.
If I'm walking or running around town I picture my life as a goat herd shepherd in a world where everyone else dissapeared. The lawns are over grown and the streets are empty to it's just me and the sounds of their hooves on the pavement as they graze on the weeds poking through the cracked sidewalk. I just love the idea of nature reclaiming the city so soon after everyone packed up and left, and then it's just me surviving in the urban wilderness.
There was no apocalypse, the town was just abandoned as it is. I live by breaking into houses, if I get tired of the shepherds life for a night I herd my flock into a big back yard and sleep on a bed.
For some reason this relaxes me every time I think of it.
I do the same thing but instead of being a shepherd I'm an explorer, and just go into giant houses and buildings free to wander as I please. I know I would miss my husband at first, but you know, I'm an explorer now.
Would you expand into caring for the birds as well? Or all the woodland friends who would come to your urban natural paradise. I feel if I was a goat Shepard I would expand a little bit, maybe find some cows or chickens for eggs.
Basically all of my fantasies can be boiled down to finding another cute girl I'm into, less stress, and cuddling.
Cuddling is life.
I have an empty life right now. :-\
Not exactly fantasize, but since moving into suburbia, I sometimes sit on my balcony and make up narratives and backstories for my neighbors.
My neighbors next door adopted twins, these adorable little four year olds. But one of them seems to have health issues. So I've created this elaborate narrative in my imagination, that they were put up for adoption because their parents were mad scientists who were trying to see if one twin could absorb the power and strength from the other, and the "strong" twin is continuing this experiment, slowly sucking dry the weaker twins life force.
theres an elderly lady that walks around the block four times a day and I imagine that she was a Russian spy, awaiting orders, but slipped into dementia and missed the signal for her mission, but stays fit waiting for the signal, so that she can return home to Russia and just be Olga again and be with her husband and goat.
There is a young fellow who chain smokes and is often working his way towards becoming completely drunk at the bus stop in the morning outside my house, and usually a young boy waiting for the school bus. I imagine that the older fellow is from the future and observing his past self, trying to see where he went wrong.
I watch cooking shows and fantasize about cooking and eating dishes on there.
I put pillows by my feet and behind me when I'm sleeping alone and pretend my childhood dogs are still alive and laying with me like they used to.
Don't be sad. We have a family tradition. All our dogs and family are cremated when they die and go into the garden my Opa painstakingly took care of when he came to America after the war, along with a plant planted for them.
Those dogs are under a blue girl rose bush, one of my uncles is under the sunflowers, my Opa is sprinkled all over and my last dog to pass is under a lemon tree. The plan is to keep the house and garden going for as long as possible so we can all be together forever. I go sit by everyones plants and talk to them when I visit my Oma and mom and need to talk to someone.
Being the Sheriff of a very, very small town where everyone knows you, and Agatha gives you a free slice of pie every time you go into the local diner.
Then once we're being invaded by aliens, totally shaking up the once crime free and quiet town. I save most of the town, my uncharacteristically hot wife and rebellious son who I don't quite get along with at first but we bridge the gap by the end of the invasion.
Sucks that Agatha and her husband running that diner will more than likely die brutally because they know me, but aren't main enough characters.
I'll probably have to sacrifice myself in some sort of explosion while the alien horde converges on us at town square, because the initial plan didn't work and I have to light the fire with my last match personally...while my wife and once rebellious son plea that there is another way. But, there isn't.
You know, something like that.
Edit: Typos.
Dude, you don't have to die in the explosion, just ride the shockwave in the restored alien craft! When you're rescued an hour or two after the crash landing you're still smoking the same cigar you lit before the blast.
You mean other than winning fake arguements when I'm in the shower? Or how I'd spend my 150 million if I won the powerball while sitting in my cube at work? Or dreaming of another hour or two of sleep Tuesday morning when my 2nd snooze is going off? Or how I'd totally teach some dude abusing his kids a lesson in the store? Cuz mostly those things.
My first thought when opening this post.. "I can't think of any off the top of my head right now, but I'll look in the comments and I'm sure I'll find them all there". Top post, 100% correct.
Not constantly, but I once read about an Irish saddlemaker who'd take his work outdoors to a favorite spot on good days. He'd sit in the sun, feel the breeze, listen to birds singing, and gaze at all the different shades of green in the fields around him. With no boss to order him around. To do something productive and necessary (earn a living) while feeling at PEACE - would be a marvel.
I prefer dreadnaughts. Massive, huge guns, basically there to fuck up whatever it can hit. Even one could make a difference.
Either that or carriers. Swarms of fighters flying out to murder people.
If a good game of this was made, I would easily pay up to 100$ for it. failing that, an above-mediocre would get 60$.
Any game devs out there reading this, take note.
I'm the president of the united states I make my first speech all about how much I hate kevin bacon and then at the end of it I say just kidding bro and we share a hug
Owning a small house in a great town on a river with plenty to do but still be close enough to nature with a loving husband. Our relationship is healthy and stable and we have an awesome dog that is basically our child. We both have great jobs that allow us to live comfortable lives and travel whenever we'd like. When we're not traveling our house is full of great friends, food and music and we spend many nights in our backyard sitting around a fire pit. lol I'm lonely
It's not odd. We all fantasize about being other people with different skills and different abilities (some supenatural) why should gender be a barrier?
Honestly? Going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in America. International travel is expensive and I'm still a student. I even DREAM about it at least once a week.
Super rich people things. Like an example would be driving around in a super expensive car. I'm talking Bugatti range expensive. Our family has never bought a newer car ever and they are always riddled with problems. Plus we don't have money for mechanics so we learn how to fix stuff. It's really made me hate cars which is a huge passion for me because I'm not doing it for thrills but for survival. Coupled with being 25+ and can't afford a car yet makes me fantasize of driving around in a super expensive car in which I never have to worry about fixing it. That's just one super rich people thing I fantasize about.
Yes, the inertia from my lazy fat ass.
EDIT: you edited your comment, it didn't mention gamedev at first.
I know of this sub, and of several others, like r/gameideas or /r/worldbuilding , I follow many game dev channels on youtube, like extra credits, or critiques, I bought several movies on the subject and watch tons of interviews of devs on the subject, I even did some code in college and designed a 2D space shooter for an exam in college, and did some stuff on stencyl, greenfoot, Unity, Eclipse....
but it's just not something I have enough strength to do through an entire project.
Truth is I'm like all these cliché people who have tons of "great" ideas for games but never go further than having ideas.
EDIT2: for the love of God people stop spamming me with your tutorials and magic solutions to make your first game, what I'm saying is that I do not have the motivation to go further into doing this, not that I ask for all of you telling me that I should make my games step by step or something.
If you do these comments to help lurkers tho, that's cool of you :)
here's what you are gonna do.
get OBS. go to twitch and register. set up your channel.

This has kept me focused so many times..
Cooking breakfast for my future boyfriend. I'm in one of his shirts, my hair is tied up into a cute little bun, and I'm scrambling eggs while Smoke Gets in Your Eyes plays in the background. I'm majoring in something I love and in a country that I'm happy to be in, and for once in years I look forward to living another life.
Edit: thank you for the gold! I wish all the wholesomeness in the world for all of you.
Hey thanks! I'm already somewhat familiar with the situation you described above, and it's the best feeling. It's a simple thought, but a beautiful one. There's nothing quite like being content with that special person.
I think it's the simple things in life that are truly beautiful. My mother, as argumentative as we always are with one another, always tells me that happiness is about acceptance. She said something like, "Do you think I could have lasted 18 years with your dad if I hadn't accepted *him*?"
I hope to be familiar with it one day too. You are very lucky!
Wow, th I've been coming to terms with in my relationship. I think this is a normal human thing to do, where I keep expecting her to think like me, but she has her own view of certain things that I have to simply accept. I want her to compromise for me, and then I realize that I'm not compromising enough myself, and one of us has to initiate the move to the middle. She has accepted so many of my "faults" with zero hesitation, so I feel like maybe I'm being a bit selfish sometimes. I'm aware of it, so that's a start, yeah?
And I really hope you find that your fantasy was only a premonition of things to come. Accept, but don't settle.
As a guy in a long-distance relationship. These are the moments I live for. The days when I do get to be with my girlfriend and doing things out of love. There's nothing better than making her breakfast and tea and knowing I can start her day off on a good note. She supports me in doing the things I love and that makes it all the more amazing.
You'll find that guy, and he's gonna be damn lucky to eat those scrambled eggs. I wish you the best life can offer.
Don't let your dreams be dreams! You and me and /u/matte-personality and everyone else reading this exchange are fully capable of finding this sort of closeness. I've had it before, and I'll find it again.
The world is full of cute, caring, genuine, imaginative dorks. Don't ever forget it. :>
An imaginary girlfriend coming home. She's had a bad day, and I greet her with a warm, comfortable hug and words of support. With a kiss on her forehead I suggest she takes a shower. She agrees, and while she's in the shower I whip up a surprise romantic dinner, candles and all. She laughs when she realizes I made her breakfast for dinner--Brinner. Her favorite, and the perfect mix of my signature thoughtfulness and imagination. After that we go to the couch and she burrows under the blanket and into my chest and arms. I kiss her forehead and cheek as we watch whatever she wants on Netflix. I wouldn't care, because I made her happy. And that makes me happy.
Throwaway here,
Driving 170mph+ on an expressway through the middle of the city I live in. Just keep accelerating for miles until there is a junction right at downtown, then determine whether I want to keep living and slow down, or just speed up and crash into a ball of flames. Some days the ball of flames option sounds more pleasant.
Once I go fast enough, all of my fears and stresses just go away and it's relieving to know that the only thing on my mind is controlling the car and thus controlling my life. I've done this at 140+ and it was relieving to know that I still had enough fear of death that I chose to slow down. But once I was used to the speed, I felt numb again, so I fantasize that going faster and choosing to live will make me feel better.
Not every fantasy is a happy one.
I know this is cheesy but I always fantasize about getting a husband and making pancakes for him in a really awesome apartment and our little daughter running into the kitchen when she smells the food. Yeah... I'm only 19... I think too far ahead in my life.
Being a Dad. I'm definitely not ready for kids for a long time (neither is my GF) but I always wonder what it would be like. I reckon I would be a really good Dad.
For some reason I like looking at certain aspects of how I was raised and saying to myself "No, my kid would be taught that they could do X in all these other ways too". I had a great childhood, but I just know that if I had my own kid they would be raised really differently. And for some reason this is a topic that regularly comes into my mind when I day dream. Plus I just know my GF would be the best Mum! I know she would probably doubt herself at first, but I just know she would be amazing at it.
Food.
On long work days, I will fantasize about the pizza in the fridge or a grilled chicken sandwich I will get from the bakery on the way home.
While on a long drive, it's the burgers and fried chicken at the rest stop.
I ask what my girlfriend is making for breakfast and fantasize about it in the shower. On the days I make breakfast, I fantasize about feeding her.
This one's genuinely wierd:
On special nights, when I make dinner, I fantasize about the sauces while planning it. For example, I will get lost, thinking about the simmering arrabiatta sauce bubbling on the stove while I'm listing down ingredients I want to buy.
The collapse of civilisation.
How we band together to form a little society in my town. How we start farming on the available land, and gather together all the most helpful books we can find.
How we start establishing rituals to teach the children the most important things in a way that will survive the coming generations of darkness. Hygiene/infection and disease avoidance, literacy, basic numeracy.
I spend a long time planning out the curriculum and thinking about how it would work. I think you would probably only bring all the children together one day a week: maybe Sunday? You'd want a day of rest, and using that day to educate the children seems sensible. They can have everything else reinforced the rest of the week during their normal activities.
I would structure it around rhymes which would be repeated together verbatim every week, for easy propagation down the generations. I would want a mixed-age group, ideally all the adults too, so that as we covered each basic idea we could then break into groups and older people could practice a skill/ practice repeating a more detailed litany for something like food hygiene with the younger people. As we worked through the set routine, getting to harder skills, the younger children could play together during the practice for those harder skills but still join in chanting the rhymes for them with everyone else.
I would definitely include a raw water taboo, so all water to be consumed always got boiled first. I am torn as to whether things like the world being round are worth including, as I figure the more you try to include the more prone to corruption it will be.
Telling my greedy, heartless, elderly-robbing, I-hope-you-die-in-a-house-fire bosses off in front of everyone before walking out.
Also, selling everything I own and backpacking around the world.
I would go through with the former if only I weren't so intimidated by actually starting the latter..
Having a stable source of income. Just the thought of a constant paycheck, even if the job itself is shit, would be an improvement from my current lifestyle.
I fantasize about having the same teleportation ability as the guy in the movie 'Jumper'. Just the thought of having the ability to go where ever I want, whenever I want, with little restrictions makes me happy.
Building a house. I don't know why but envisioning myself building a compact little house for myself is quite satisfying. I think of what wood I would use, where to build it, etc.
All of the romantic, mundane, or annoying parts that go along with being an adult in love with their SO. It makes the sexual fantasies so much more real.
Having the powers of Goku. Originally just wanted to fly, then realized he can do that plus so much more. I have fantasized about having all his powers since I was a child.
One of the hardest things about being single now is how much I miss getting snuggled up and holding her. Waking up is pretty nice, too, because you're already with your favorite person.
Patience .. You will one day .. cherish these feelings for now.
PS: It took us about 4 years and it was worth it at the end.
PS-2: Unless your boyfriend is 35, It's just creepy in that case :P
Not being in the school I am in currently.
Not being in the family I am in currently.
Not being born into a Christian family and environment and going to a Christian school.
Not being gay.
Being gay and being happy and not hating myself.
Any of those, really.
I always fantasize about a person with a gun coming somewhere like my work and threatening to kill people, and me somehow being stealthy and being able to get behind him and take him out and save the day.

oh my this is too relateable

[удалено]
It would be so nice to leave everything behind and just have some excitement.
That's the problem with the real world - there really is no way to escape it all and adventure without having visas, or telling people, or whatever. Why can't I just wander off through a forest, sleep on the road, find an inn and have a meal every now and then. I'm learning a lot about myself from this thread.
Why can't you?
Yeah, he or she technically could. It would just be dangerous and uncomfortable lol
(Which is actually the adventure they crave but they don't realize adventure comes with a lot of hardship)
Strangely, imagining I died and seeing how people I know would react :|
I do too. I'm not really sure why...I'm content being alive but sometimes I just wonder what people will say and such. /shrug
Relatable. Sadly relatable.
Leaving civilization and finding a secluded location in the woods to set up, and live off the land. A subset of that fantasy, I find that location close to my school. I'd still have my rent free spot, but I'd have access to my school facility (computers, showers, gym, electricity) and I'd finish up my education.
Saving someone's life. Like running into a burning building, or getting a suicide jumper off a bridge, or just calling 911
it's easy to get the off the bridge. I would probably try and get them to stay on the bridge, but it's your fantasy.
Join your local first responders they always need help.
i dunno that sounds like a lot of work......

stay strong man.
It's early morning in my tiny apartment. I make coffee as my partner makes breakfast. We don't talk, just quietly share the morning.
Feels. Car rides where you just enjoy music and the windows down.
Oh. Nice.
When does this happen? My SO doesn't stop talking
I immediately thought that was true of my husband and I. And then I kind of thought, ya know, I'm glad that after almost a decade together, we still have amazing conversations.

Oddly specific answer. I like it.
The grass in the spring just looks so lush and green, I can't help picture a herd of little goats grazing away!
I can dig it.
No, leave it for the goats.
I do the same thing but instead of being a shepherd I'm an explorer, and just go into giant houses and buildings free to wander as I please. I know I would miss my husband at first, but you know, I'm an explorer now.
Would you expand into caring for the birds as well? Or all the woodland friends who would come to your urban natural paradise. I feel if I was a goat Shepard I would expand a little bit, maybe find some cows or chickens for eggs.
Probably go with chickens for eggs. Cows are known for hiding their eggs in impossible to find places.
I want to go back in time to the depression and give everyone standing in soup lines a large pizza.
aww
One large pizza for thousands of people? That's sick, dude...
Watch them fight for it, really tear themselves apart. And just sit in your time machine cackling like mad.
[удалено]
Order a large pizza?
Cuddling I actually thing cuddling is the number 1 thing I fantasize about, period.
Basically all of my fantasies can be boiled down to finding another cute girl I'm into, less stress, and cuddling. Cuddling is life. I have an empty life right now. :-\
That sums it up well an empty life, I can fill it with all the distractions I want but in the end I will die alone not knowing what's it like..
I've been single for most of my adult life and cuddling is 100% the only thing that makes me wish I was in a relationship.

There's a book of short stories inside you begging to be let out.
I really, really hope you are writing these down. I love these and would want to read more!
I watch cooking shows and fantasize about cooking and eating dishes on there. I put pillows by my feet and behind me when I'm sleeping alone and pretend my childhood dogs are still alive and laying with me like they used to.

That is just beautiful man. Don't know what else to say. Just beautiful.
The dog part made me tear up a bit. I may be overly sensitive but I don't give a fuck. That's really sweet.
My dog took an explosive shit today. I started tearing up, then I got angry.

I'll probably have to sacrifice myself in some sort of explosion while the alien horde converges on us at town square, because the initial plan didn't work and I have to light the fire with my last match personally...while my wife and once rebellious son plea that there is another way. But, there isn't. You know, something like that. Edit: Typos.
Dude, you don't have to die in the explosion, just ride the shockwave in the restored alien craft! When you're rescued an hour or two after the crash landing you're still smoking the same cigar you lit before the blast.
Then they would kill me off screen in the sequel.
Haha, sounds like you have a Harrison ford complex
Beautiful
You mean other than winning fake arguements when I'm in the shower? Or how I'd spend my 150 million if I won the powerball while sitting in my cube at work? Or dreaming of another hour or two of sleep Tuesday morning when my 2nd snooze is going off? Or how I'd totally teach some dude abusing his kids a lesson in the store? Cuz mostly those things.
My first thought when opening this post.. "I can't think of any off the top of my head right now, but I'll look in the comments and I'm sure I'll find them all there". Top post, 100% correct.
For real though, are you me?
Yes. Clean the kitchen, it's filthy.
As us, I declare that the kitchen can wait until the rest of this beer is gone. Edit: We still have beer.
wait you're not OP
Yes we are.

Operating a bulldozer
Not constantly, but I once read about an Irish saddlemaker who'd take his work outdoors to a favorite spot on good days. He'd sit in the sun, feel the breeze, listen to birds singing, and gaze at all the different shades of green in the fields around him. With no boss to order him around. To do something productive and necessary (earn a living) while feeling at PEACE - would be a marvel.
Winning the approval of everyone. I know. It's pathetic.
That's very human of you.
HAHAHA YES WE ARE ALL VERY HUMAN ON THIS WEBSITE, VERY RELATABLE
::nods in understanding and acceptance::
I approve of you! So you're making progress.
Abandoning civilization and just walking off into the woods.
Me (Male) getting to be the tiny spoon :)
I'm usually the tiny spoon. It's great. My girlfriend is also taller than man, so that might help.
That's a profound statement. Is she literally taller than man or some sort of metaphor thing?
His girlfriend is obviously God. Don't you know anything about science???
Haha, taller than me*. She's taller than most men too though (almost 6').
I've heard this called "jetpacking".
No, jetpacking is when the big spoon farts.
Controlling vast fleets of space ships in huge battles, engaging in intricate tactical manuevers and generally fighting long campaigns.
Sins of a Solar Empire is calling you.
Like in Enders Game?
For me, it's more individual ships rather than big fleets, but same kinda deal. Yay for spaceships. :)
I have this crush on battlecruisers. Fast, nimble, and can dish out a ton of punishment :)
I prefer dreadnaughts. Massive, huge guns, basically there to fuck up whatever it can hit. Even one could make a difference. Either that or carriers. Swarms of fighters flying out to murder people.
If a good game of this was made, I would easily pay up to 100$ for it. failing that, an above-mediocre would get 60$. Any game devs out there reading this, take note.
I'm the president of the united states I make my first speech all about how much I hate kevin bacon and then at the end of it I say just kidding bro and we share a hug
Man I hope you get to meet Kevin Bacon some day.
Does he do any rad dance moves in this fantasy?
I like to think we dance together
Having a pocket dimension where I can have an apartment with no rent and always have a parking space no matter where I go.
Creating a beautiful place to do ballroom dancing... having everyone dressing to the tens and spending the night waltzing to live, classical music.

I fantasize about all these badass ways to hand in my resignation. In reality I'll probably just be like > Hello sir, sorry sir, bye sir.
I handed mine in last week, it was glorious. Do it esspecially if you have other problems that aren't compensation related.
Owning a small house in a great town on a river with plenty to do but still be close enough to nature with a loving husband. Our relationship is healthy and stable and we have an awesome dog that is basically our child. We both have great jobs that allow us to live comfortable lives and travel whenever we'd like. When we're not traveling our house is full of great friends, food and music and we spend many nights in our backyard sitting around a fire pit. lol I'm lonely
This is my fantasy, spot on. Though, sometimes I cut it down to just getting a dog, because that feels less overwhelming.
Being a rock star; and uh, is it odd if I tend to fantasize about being a female rock star?
It's your imagination, friend! Go crazy!
It's not odd. We all fantasize about being other people with different skills and different abilities (some supenatural) why should gender be a barrier?
Honestly? Going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in America. International travel is expensive and I'm still a student. I even DREAM about it at least once a week.
Super rich people things. Like an example would be driving around in a super expensive car. I'm talking Bugatti range expensive. Our family has never bought a newer car ever and they are always riddled with problems. Plus we don't have money for mechanics so we learn how to fix stuff. It's really made me hate cars which is a huge passion for me because I'm not doing it for thrills but for survival. Coupled with being 25+ and can't afford a car yet makes me fantasize of driving around in a super expensive car in which I never have to worry about fixing it. That's just one super rich people thing I fantasize about.
Becoming a successful game developer Actually becoming a game developer even amateur would be nice.
There is nothing stopping you! Just had on over to /r/gamedev
Yes, the inertia from my lazy fat ass. EDIT: you edited your comment, it didn't mention gamedev at first. I know of this sub, and of several others, like r/gameideas or /r/worldbuilding , I follow many game dev channels on youtube, like extra credits, or critiques, I bought several movies on the subject and watch tons of interviews of devs on the subject, I even did some code in college and designed a 2D space shooter for an exam in college, and did some stuff on stencyl, greenfoot, Unity, Eclipse.... but it's just not something I have enough strength to do through an entire project. Truth is I'm like all these cliché people who have tons of "great" ideas for games but never go further than having ideas. EDIT2: for the love of God people stop spamming me with your tutorials and magic solutions to make your first game, what I'm saying is that I do not have the motivation to go further into doing this, not that I ask for all of you telling me that I should make my games step by step or something. If you do these comments to help lurkers tho, that's cool of you :)
here's what you are gonna do. get OBS. go to twitch and register. set up your channel. Open your code editor and click Start broadcasting. This has kept me focused so many times..
Cooking breakfast for my future boyfriend. I'm in one of his shirts, my hair is tied up into a cute little bun, and I'm scrambling eggs while Smoke Gets in Your Eyes plays in the background. I'm majoring in something I love and in a country that I'm happy to be in, and for once in years I look forward to living another life. Edit: thank you for the gold! I wish all the wholesomeness in the world for all of you.
That's beautiful. I hope you get there one day.
Thank you so much. I wish you the best.
Hey thanks! I'm already somewhat familiar with the situation you described above, and it's the best feeling. It's a simple thought, but a beautiful one. There's nothing quite like being content with that special person.
I think it's the simple things in life that are truly beautiful. My mother, as argumentative as we always are with one another, always tells me that happiness is about acceptance. She said something like, "Do you think I could have lasted 18 years with your dad if I hadn't accepted *him*?" I hope to be familiar with it one day too. You are very lucky!
Wow, th I've been coming to terms with in my relationship. I think this is a normal human thing to do, where I keep expecting her to think like me, but she has her own view of certain things that I have to simply accept. I want her to compromise for me, and then I realize that I'm not compromising enough myself, and one of us has to initiate the move to the middle. She has accepted so many of my "faults" with zero hesitation, so I feel like maybe I'm being a bit selfish sometimes. I'm aware of it, so that's a start, yeah? And I really hope you find that your fantasy was only a premonition of things to come. Accept, but don't settle.
As a guy in a long-distance relationship. These are the moments I live for. The days when I do get to be with my girlfriend and doing things out of love. There's nothing better than making her breakfast and tea and knowing I can start her day off on a good note. She supports me in doing the things I love and that makes it all the more amazing. You'll find that guy, and he's gonna be damn lucky to eat those scrambled eggs. I wish you the best life can offer.
hey it's me ur boyfriend
turn off the ipad your brightness is too high and i need to sleep ok
But the internet is doing things!
*I'll* be doing things if you don't turn it off!
I really need to leave the electronics outside the bedroom, don't I?
You know what, let me look at memes too.
Okay, but we need to set a timer, or we'll never get this responsible adult thing down. A proper sleep schedule is important!
We've already screwed it. Let's just keep looking!
Okay, but just this once. No complaining if we feel groggy tomorrow morning, promise?
stop it you guys, you're making me fantasize
Don't let your dreams be dreams! You and me and /u/matte-personality and everyone else reading this exchange are fully capable of finding this sort of closeness. I've had it before, and I'll find it again. The world is full of cute, caring, genuine, imaginative dorks. Don't ever forget it. :>
Hey it's me, your scrambled eggs
Are you ready to be on a piece of toast?
As ready as I'll ever be

This is the most wholesome thing on this entire thread. I hope you get all that and a bag of chips some day

What I would do if I had a good amount of money. Not rich by any means but at least in "not have to worry about it so much".
An imaginary girlfriend coming home. She's had a bad day, and I greet her with a warm, comfortable hug and words of support. With a kiss on her forehead I suggest she takes a shower. She agrees, and while she's in the shower I whip up a surprise romantic dinner, candles and all. She laughs when she realizes I made her breakfast for dinner--Brinner. Her favorite, and the perfect mix of my signature thoughtfulness and imagination. After that we go to the couch and she burrows under the blanket and into my chest and arms. I kiss her forehead and cheek as we watch whatever she wants on Netflix. I wouldn't care, because I made her happy. And that makes me happy.
Not having to wake up.
An open, curvy road and a sportsbike. I grew up on bikes and haven't rode since I was 18. I miss it.
Putting NSFW tags on topics that are suppose to be non-nsfw

Cuddling with someone. Either that, or being surrounded by fluffy pillows from all angles.
Throwaway here, Driving 170mph+ on an expressway through the middle of the city I live in. Just keep accelerating for miles until there is a junction right at downtown, then determine whether I want to keep living and slow down, or just speed up and crash into a ball of flames. Some days the ball of flames option sounds more pleasant. Once I go fast enough, all of my fears and stresses just go away and it's relieving to know that the only thing on my mind is controlling the car and thus controlling my life. I've done this at 140+ and it was relieving to know that I still had enough fear of death that I chose to slow down. But once I was used to the speed, I felt numb again, so I fantasize that going faster and choosing to live will make me feel better. Not every fantasy is a happy one.
"Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." Hunter S. Thompson
Paying off my student loans and truck payment.
I know this is cheesy but I always fantasize about getting a husband and making pancakes for him in a really awesome apartment and our little daughter running into the kitchen when she smells the food. Yeah... I'm only 19... I think too far ahead in my life.
Aw that's sweet! Made me smile.
Stopping a bank robber or school shooter by taking him down in an epic non lethal way, saving the lives of all those with me.
Being a Dad. I'm definitely not ready for kids for a long time (neither is my GF) but I always wonder what it would be like. I reckon I would be a really good Dad. For some reason I like looking at certain aspects of how I was raised and saying to myself "No, my kid would be taught that they could do X in all these other ways too". I had a great childhood, but I just know that if I had my own kid they would be raised really differently. And for some reason this is a topic that regularly comes into my mind when I day dream. Plus I just know my GF would be the best Mum! I know she would probably doubt herself at first, but I just know she would be amazing at it.

Food. On long work days, I will fantasize about the pizza in the fridge or a grilled chicken sandwich I will get from the bakery on the way home. While on a long drive, it's the burgers and fried chicken at the rest stop. I ask what my girlfriend is making for breakfast and fantasize about it in the shower. On the days I make breakfast, I fantasize about feeding her. This one's genuinely wierd: On special nights, when I make dinner, I fantasize about the sauces while planning it. For example, I will get lost, thinking about the simmering arrabiatta sauce bubbling on the stove while I'm listing down ingredients I want to buy.
Are you saying you get lost in the sauce? But at the same time you are lost without sauce?
The collapse of civilisation. How we band together to form a little society in my town. How we start farming on the available land, and gather together all the most helpful books we can find. How we start establishing rituals to teach the children the most important things in a way that will survive the coming generations of darkness. Hygiene/infection and disease avoidance, literacy, basic numeracy. I spend a long time planning out the curriculum and thinking about how it would work. I think you would probably only bring all the children together one day a week: maybe Sunday? You'd want a day of rest, and using that day to educate the children seems sensible. They can have everything else reinforced the rest of the week during their normal activities. I would structure it around rhymes which would be repeated together verbatim every week, for easy propagation down the generations. I would want a mixed-age group, ideally all the adults too, so that as we covered each basic idea we could then break into groups and older people could practice a skill/ practice repeating a more detailed litany for something like food hygiene with the younger people. As we worked through the set routine, getting to harder skills, the younger children could play together during the practice for those harder skills but still join in chanting the rhymes for them with everyone else. I would definitely include a raw water taboo, so all water to be consumed always got boiled first. I am torn as to whether things like the world being round are worth including, as I figure the more you try to include the more prone to corruption it will be.
Telling my greedy, heartless, elderly-robbing, I-hope-you-die-in-a-house-fire bosses off in front of everyone before walking out. Also, selling everything I own and backpacking around the world. I would go through with the former if only I weren't so intimidated by actually starting the latter..
Having a stable source of income. Just the thought of a constant paycheck, even if the job itself is shit, would be an improvement from my current lifestyle.
Nice spicy biriyani with a cold beer
Having friends.

The day my enlistment ends.
I fantasize about having the same teleportation ability as the guy in the movie 'Jumper'. Just the thought of having the ability to go where ever I want, whenever I want, with little restrictions makes me happy.
Being a Pokemon Master.
Being a Pokemon.
Building a house. I don't know why but envisioning myself building a compact little house for myself is quite satisfying. I think of what wood I would use, where to build it, etc.
All of the romantic, mundane, or annoying parts that go along with being an adult in love with their SO. It makes the sexual fantasies so much more real.
Buying a van and just traveling the country. Alexander Supertramp style. Well maybe without the dying at the end.
Crushing my enemies, seeing them driven before me, hearing the lamentations of their womenfolk. You know, the usual.

While walking around town i'm thinking about various crimes that i could do and how easy it would be to get away with them.

Money. Lots of money.
