    Aanchal..!! @_@ Ketla questions ehh?? inside 1 question? :D lol

    Yeah! I believe dreams are more about similar to fantasies!!

    As the word "Dream" itself means imagination unrestricted by reality..or illusion of something not actually happening.. or "FANTASY" ..?!

    Alright, hitting the next one! Yes i feel that dreams are slightly simillar to fantasies.. as there is a fiction with a large amount of imagination in it.. & again it has a rare chance to happen for real..!!

    Like my fantasy is that i'm dating Katrina & Preity both together but on a different tables.. =))..lol So thats how it works..!!

    I dream a lot btw.. its the speciality of a Piscean.. ;)

    Fiction & illusion is almost half of what i always be in!!

    Aanchal....this question is beautiful:)

    well....i consider there are two dimensions of our existence...

    in fantasy....

    and in reality....

    everyone knows about reality...it is what is real...it is what we see around us...it is what we live in...

    about fantasy.....who can explain the true meaning???????its so vast...it contains both reality as well as the others!!!it includes our dreams...our thoughts...our feelings...our emotions....our intuitions...our senses...our imagination..our creativity...

    there's so much to be told...but words fail...

    i think dreams are fantasies...a type of fantasy...something non-existent,but really affecting the existence...

    They are not similar really; dreams you have no control over, they happen when you are asleep. I dreamt about a spider running inside someone's shirt last night, it was horrible, I dreamt that because I found a spider in my car the other day and I was afraid it would run up my leg. Dreams are your brain's way of working things through.

    Fantasies you have complete control over, you purposefully think about them while you are awake and you choose what to fantasise about.

    Both are beautiful

    Dreams can be achieved but fantasies are not attainable

    I would live in this world but i would be a grim warrior/defender who has seen to much battle over the years and would give his life to maintain peace within the lands that i protect, I would have short close cut hair, grim expression all the time, i would wear padded cloth Armour under my chain-mail Armour, and my battle axe would be a holy weapon, my only travelling companion would be a snow leopard with a spiked collar that is also enchanted to grant skin of steel when in combat with his master.

    I would say yes, both dreams and fantasies are from your sub-conscious so they are very similar

    Yes, I think dreams shows us what we desire (or in another word, fantasies) but also depict what our greatest fears are.

    Oh, are you talking about dreams as in those we get from sleeping or dreams as in goals?

  • 1 decade ago

    yes but only good dreams, some times we dream about something that we can't even think of and we fantasy about we can't achieve, i will say things we day dream about are our fantasies.

    good night!!!

    Hmmm....interesting. Dreams are more than just fantasy...They are our minds dealing with our everyday lives. Our supressions and unconscious downloading from activity. There is the idea that nightmares are our minds dealing with the stressful issues that we refuse to consciously...willingly.
