Yes, that is the way of growth. Even a student, while studying a subject, his feeling is immersed in such 'fairy' idea. All hindu myths pave way for human growth with such fairy tales of different ancient works, called Panchtantra, Jataka, and so on. Associating whole life is nothing better than the non-living as the worldly life is in one way is a fairy tale, taking into consideration of the life of 1000 or more years.

Absolutely! Life is your own; it is for you to live, dream or fantasize about whatever you want. There are many things people associate their life with, and there really is no "limit" or "restrictions" as to what you associate it to.
I recommend that you watch "Pan's Labyrinth" an excellent movie about a little girl and her love for fairy tales, a love so meaningful that she becomes part of the fantasy - it is a excellent film by Mexican movie director Guillermo del Toro - I truly recommend it - It will totally answer your question.
I hope this answered your question.

Very likely.
Fairy tales are not the cute twee fluffy things we think of them as today. They began their lives as visceral, cruel and gory tales from the depths of the oral tradition. They were tales told around a nomadic campfire or outside a log hut deep in the past, designed to teach children by fear and example.
The Red Riding Hood story, for instance, isn't a nice story about a little girl in a red coat who goes out taking a basket of jam to her granny, gets eaten by the wolf and rescued by a woodcutter; it began its existence as a horrible warning to pre-pubescent girls, about the dangers of walking out on your own and being raped by stranger in the woods - and the original ending was not a happy one...
Likewise, the French mis-translation of the 'glass' slipper in the Cinderella story rendered it much more palatable to the refined palate of the Victorian era...
Charles Perrault, who collated the Mother Goose Stories (the biggest, but sadly also most bowdlerised collection of fairy tales in recent centuries) sanitised the story by mistranslating 'verre' instead of 'vair', which means fur in French (also a colloquialism for pubic hair) - the Cinderella story wasn't actually what you'd think of as a fairy tale at all, but a story about a fairly average and randy prince, who took advantage of our poor Cinders, then rampaged around the villages, trying to find the girl who fitted... i.e. he just wanted an excuse to sleep with lots of pretty peasant girls until he found the right one again.
The list goes on...
So yes, most people can equate their lives to a fairy tale, given that the fairy tales were originally based on life!
Of course... on the other hand, it is nice to have that feeling, very occasionally, that someone has waved that magic wand, and just for one golden hour or two, you are that prince, that princess, who has found love or joy after a trial and is powerful, benevolent and beautiful... I think only love can really give that fairy tale feeling because the nice ones do tend to focus on what happens when love or abiding friendship works. Ah, romance...
