Fantasy is either extremely destructive or helpful. All depends on the approach. Am I dreaming that I can switch jobs because I am a little sissy whiner and find comfort in control in my mind? Or because I'm imagining the possibilities God might use with all the free time and energy I would gain from switching jobs to something that is more natural for me.....
Am I dreaming of how I can serve a future spouse and the potential synergy we might have in loving each other and people around us, or am I consumed with thoughts of how they will serve and comfort me?
One last example: a heist movie vs an allegory like Lord of the Rings. One type of escape runs from reality, one seeks to explain it in a creative way (either could be misused or used well, but at face value they will tend towards these extremes)
