About This Quote

Fantasy is a constructive aspect of the child's experimental exploration of reality, or his progressive relating of himself to reality, of his trial-and-error attempts to solve his reality problems. Fantasy is a process by which the mind uses its imagination in order to understand the world and the human consciousness. Fantasy is not just ruminating on things that do not exist, or merely thinking up imaginary things that you have never seen or experienced before. Fantasy involves a mental process in which your mind takes a piece of information and tries to understand it in a way that makes sense in relation to all the other pieces of information you have learned about the subject matter. Through this process, your mind comes up with new ideas and insights, which can help you figure out what they are trying to tell you.
