Fantasy prone personality

Have you ever pretended to be a princess, a superhero, or a wizard? That's called "fantasy play" and it's normal for kids to do. But some grown-ups take it really seriously and often think that their fantasies are real.

People who have a "fantasy prone personality" are adults who have very vivid and intense fantasies. They might imagine that they have special powers, that they can talk to ghosts or fairies, or that they have been abducted by aliens. They might even believe that they have had past lives or that they are psychic.

It's important to understand that people with a fantasy prone personality are not crazy, but sometimes they might have trouble distinguishing between what is real and what is not. They tend to daydream a lot and might spend a lot of time in their own world instead of paying attention to the real world around them.

While it can be fun to have a rich imagination, some people with fantasy prone personalities can become so caught up in their fantasies that it interferes with their daily life or relationships. It's important for them to learn how to balance their fantasies with reality and to seek help if they feel their fantasies are getting out of control.
