FANTASIES

little personal definition of fantasies

The difference between a fantasy and a dream?

It is difficult to totally separate the two of them. But maybe a dream is a goal, a mindset, an ideal, an objective that we want to achieve at one point in our life. A moment, an action, a feeling, we want to be able to reach.

While a fantasy is what goes on in our mind when no one is watching.

A fantasy, is our deepest, rawest thoughts. They are not necessarily something that we want to see happen. They grow by themselves, taking their resources in our sentiments, our emotions, our vulnerability, our curiosity. We don't entertain them, they entertain us, they feed our imagination, our creativity. They don’t necessarily fill us with a feeling of accomplishment. Like dreams, they can change, evolve, disappear. They are not always positives though, not always helpful or useful. They can be dark and oppressive.

That might be why the say is ‘follow your dreams’, and not follow your fantasies.
