Did you have a childhood fantasy?

This is really pathetic.

I fantasised that I lived on my own.

I also fantasised about being a teacher.

I've only b***dy managed one of them.

I was 100% convinced that I was adopted and I spent a lot of time day dreaming about who my "real family" were and what it would be like when I found them. Events that followed in later years make me wish I had been.

I was an only child. I imagined I had 5 sisters called Sharon, Sarah, Samantha, Sheila and Sylvia. I suppose that would have made us sextuplets but I was too young to work that out. I actually enjoyed their company!! Ha ha.

I never expected to get married. I imaged myself living in a thatched cottage with a meadow in the country with a pony and goats and chickens and ducks. And I would grow things. I would earn money by making jam and know a lot about medicinal herbs and plants. (I think I’d have to grow very ‘special’ medicinal plants to make enough for the thatched cottage I had in mind.)

Yes, I had a very rich inner life which served me well.

Well, I was adopted so that knocked that one on the head.

My fantasy was to have fourteen children, including three sets of twins. I named them all and mapped out their personalities ?

Haha MamaCaz you were a sort of Billy Liar.?
My fantasy was more mundane.....I wished our family would win the pools ( that would really have been a miracle, since they didn’t ever do them.)
I was generous in this fantasy, and even the neighbours that I liked benefited.A lot of long bus rides were spent on this pleasant topic.
