The Beatles wrote about things and places in their lives, and Strawberry Fields is a real place in England, in Liverpool if I remember correctly. I love their music and recently read a great book on them by Derek Taylor.

John wrote this song as a representation of a place that he goes in his head to escape his troubles. When he was younger, he often took refuge in Strawberry Field. This song is using Strawberry Field as a metaphor for a place he mentally wanders to forget his stress.

John Lennon wrote it because as a child, he used to play with some children who lived in an orphanage named "Strawberry Fields".
Interesting. I always thought it was written after an acid trip.
