Suggest Ways To Deal With Fantasy Prone Personality

I talk to myself a lot. Sometimes I imagine that I am going on an adventure in one of the many fantasy worlds I have invented as a writer. Some times I imagine that there are people in front of me talking to me or going on an adventure with me. Sometimes I talk out loud, but most times I just move my lips. I have trained myself to do this in private. I am a HUGE Doctor Who fan, so that is a common thing to imagine. I move around my room (where most of these fantasies take place because it s the only private space in my house) as I would do if I were in the fantasy I am imagining. Music usually helps me get into this place of self talk. I have avoiding the things that make me want to talk to myself, but I have a photographic memory, so there is to much stuff floating around in my mind. I have tried to dtop watching Doctor Who, but that is my favorite show and I don t see it fair to stop. As mentioned earlier, I am a writer. I write fantasy, so I usually imagine that I am in a fantasy world I have written about. I have tried to get this out through writing but it doesn t seem to work. When I imagine people in front of me or around me, I can usually see just the wall i m facing, but if I look through my imagination or minds eye I can see them. Is this normal or am I daft? Should I keep going or not? If not, how do I get myself to stop (preferably with no one finding out that I do this.) PLEASE HELP! : (
