I really live vicariously through my "fantasy world" to say. I feel as though I am experiencing what most people most people call "adolescent changes" through my imagination. But, are these really my experiences? For example, if I fall in love through my imagination, am I actually in love?

Ok, I don't think you people are quite getting it. It's not like Idon't feel anything, and I'm pretending that I love someone just to think that I love them, I feel something. I mean I really do.

No not really speaking. you have a wild imagination. One that not many are blessed with. You have good imagery. and to say that you can fall in love with someone or something in your mind, then I don't think that is possible but falling in love with your talent, YES!!

To love one's imagination is to live an easy life despite reality.
In other words, make the best of reality. The majority of
people define their own reality in terms of what they
perceive to be real. Therefore, regardless how imaginary
or how real an individual perceives their reality to be, other
individuals will use their own discretion to decide what
is real. In other words, if imagination is the path to
sustainable living then it doesn't matter how many
experiences are real, so long as the individual is content
and other individuals have their own discretion to evaluate
reality. The separation between imagination and reality
is the opportunity to think convenience while simultaneously
living with inconvenience.

When you are imagining things (or persons) all by yourself without any external influence, that is fantasizing, but when you are reacting to a real situation, or in contact with a real person using your 5 senses that may generate love, hate, etc, then that is the actual thing.

No, it's fantasy, not reality. You must have the real life experience for it to be real. In your imagination, you are only feeling what you think it should feel like.

Sorry but, no. It's good to have an imagination that is active but life experiences only count if you can life it..ie..take a picture of it, or document it somehow. Use your imagination to write a book which can count towards life experiences.

If the initial experience occurs in your fantasy, then no, you have no idea of what it's like to fall in love.
If the fantasy is the secondary experience, then yes.

Consious or unconcious, the brain does not differenciate the two. You should join the rest of us in the real world though before you dive into permenant schitzophrenia.

Not really. If you do all of that stuff in your fantasy world, it's just your escape zone. Since anything can technically happen there, it's not really experience.

It's helpful to separate feelings and experience.
