Fantasy comes from the same place in the mind / brain dreams and creativity come from. This is what seperates us from the animals which only have basic survival functions. Fantasy and dreams are a higher form of functioning which allow us to see things that dont exist and allow us to strive forward and to achieve

Your fantasies are quite revealing, and many of your darkest fantasies could reveal things about you that make you feel anxious or guilty. So what do a lot of people do with their fantasies? They bury them like a dirty secret—something to be fearful and ashamed of. Unfortunately, if you were to truly stamp out all the fantasy in your life, the result would be a life full of monotony and boredom. This is why you really do need a little fantasy in your life.
Studies suggest that when fantasy is steered in the right direction, it can illicit better sex, a higher paying job, more recognition for your talents and more respect from your colleagues. The true magic behind its power is in the goals and incentives it inspires. In a sense, your fantasies serve as a chalkboard from which to test out possible life changes, in order to decide which ones are worth your attention.

'Fantasy'.. ah well OK.. To me fantasy is no different from reality... the irrelevance of fantasy is no less than the irrelevance of reality... Just as you ultimately have no control over reality (Do you really think your ACTIONS have anything to do with it ? :) ) and have all sorts of characters playing around you as if they were enacting a play... you have no control over fantasy ( Do you really think your THOUGHTS have anything to do with it ? :) ) .... The parallelism of fantasy and reality makes both of them complementary in nature. And regarding the need of fantasy...to some its an escape from the parallel world of reality... to some its an extention to a new world in what can be improved in the world of reality... and to others like me.... ah well OK... its just another topic to blabber :D

Yes, because fantasy is a dream, and dreams are possible, so it's what inspires us
