When I was a kid I have this fantasy to be an uber genius scientist who will become an astronaut and explore alien planets. I also have the fantasy of of having a spaceship. Then suddenly some changes happen to the dream. I had that dream to fly and be a superhero with incredible powers and beat the bad guys. for sure as we grow up the dreams are getting less crazy and more realistic. I also did have an imaginary friend as a kid,.... I dont know if having ADHD and aspergers have something to do with it. I also remember as a kid, when I get to watch a movie I like, i was imagining I was there talking to the characters and stuff. What are the crazy stuff you think about as child?

I had a lot of crazy stuff in my head when I was a kid because there was a whole groups of who played the game of pretend: Me and all my cousins in my age group. We would all climb this tree and pretend it was out battle spaceship and fight off robotic invaders from another planet. Then we'd shift into this other game where we're all anthropomorphic representation of something in nature and pretend to fight off pollution. Next, we'd play this game where we can control certain elements and give ourselves the most ridiculous names, which were basically a mash-up of all our elements in one long pronounce-able word. There were others too. I never had to imagine alone when I was younger because I had peers to play them out with. I still play pretend games in my mind till now, although I never act them out. Instead, I write them, and they make for fairly good stories.

I remember my self fighting aliens from outer space in my childhood, But I was too damn overpowered they have no hard time fighting them. Also i rememebr my self being the new villain in some of my favorite anime and No one can beat me but they will do somethign to make me good and I will take over as the leader of the superhero team. I also did imagine my self a superhero who can fly, have super strength and invisibility and I try to save people's lives. I also imagine mys elf beign super rich and I have lots of candy bars....

You had a very active imagination. Imagining things usually help me get through a boring day/class/wait. When I'm standing in line nowadays, I usually imagine the most fantastic things happening. It's pretty fun. Imagining and playing pretend are things I never outgrew from childhood.

I wanted to be a famous archeologist or an astronaut. I wanted to go to places where nobody has been before, dig up mummies, be an explorer go anaconda hunting, pretty much everything that can kill me instantly, is not so much about getting killed, but the thrills, seeing things that nobody will ever believe you-- think of it, as being the next Indiana Jones, more like Adalie Jones, hehe. I wanted to be just like him.

Yep, I wonder the same thing, why I was never good in math. I also dream about being a famous actor and acting on horror movies. My cousin and I would dress up and act like we were famous Oh, god looking back, I was a silly kid, but I had lots of fun.

about the acting part, Why you didnt pursue it.... I was always active in stage plays at school before but being an actor is not part of my childhood dream. But there is a painful part though when reality starts to bite when you realize your dream is not for you. I dreamed of being famous too but for a different industry but it changed when I see the dirty truth of about that industry, yeah I'm talking about the music industry.

So you kinda dreamed to be like lara croft before (in a way she is the female Indiana Jones) Being chased by a giant bolder surely sounds fun. I also dreamed of being an astronaut to, damn it Why God didnt make me a genius....I guess because of my desire to rule the world....LOL

I think most if not all Anime series that being shown here don't actually have their endings, coz I remember that I am just watching the same over and over again. I guess they are showing the same episodes every other week. so frustrating. Bioman, Mask Rider Black, Shaider would be my favorites coz I grow up watching them...hehe but not finishing any of them. lol! Nah, not really, in my stories I am a fighter. Sometimes its like I am totally different from the real me...and I always have a happy ending.

Bioman is one of the 2 Sentai series (Japanese calls them Sentai, Americans calls them Power rangers) That I get to finish. The others never get to air their endings.... specially masked man.... Screw IBC 13 and I'm happy their network collapsed for not airing the ends of 4 Anime serials. I felt like my childhood is nto complete. I cant find dvd's and torrents, I cant watch those anime the legal and illegal way, no options for me... :( So you get to imagine your self as the poor girl who will meet her rich guy prince charming and be a cinderella...

I think ABSCBN and GMA have better reputation of finishing anime series(they finish serials except from the controversial ones), But Sentais like Shaider, Maskman and Mask Rider..... We never get to finish them because RPN 9 and IBC 13s are the ones that aired them. Though i get to finish Bioman. I heard that Maskman have only 3 episodes not aired in the Phillippines, because IBC 13 then was to greedy to loop episodes once we were close to ending.

I loved Indiana Jones and anything like. I was often digging around in the woods looking for treasures. Lucky for me I lived in an area that had been used and abandoned many times since the late 1600's so I was always able to find arrow heads, bottles, nails, jugs, dishes etc. I play archaeologist all the time. (Geeky I know) and I still want to be one day when I can finally finish schooling. Though now my attention has turned to recreating the objects found. Watching my kids now is fun too. One wants to grow up and make fake fins for sharks that are hurt or hunted. One wants to make cakes that look like tattoos and the other switches by the day! It's fun.

Speaking of sharks, When I was a kid, the VHS tape of jaws makes me afraid of the water, even if its swimming pool. I don't know if I shared this story before, but when i was around 3 (yes i remember things when I was 3 years old) I saw the nestea icetea commercial, that commercial makes me thought that drinking ice tea will turn the floor into a swimming pool. so When i saw a pitcher of ice tea, I drinking a glass of ice tea... I tried diving in the floor because I thought it will turn into a swimming pool.

I also wanted to be a superhero like Superman, to be able to fly and explore the universe. Well, the reality is sad : I never knew how to develop my super powers, so I have had to do something else. Have you heard about some night schools ?

I completely forget this : indeed I would enjoy to try a time machine, to be able to see great people from the past and speak to them. A dream ! Sadly, Einstein said it is not possible : this one was a dream spoiler. Hope he was wrong.

When I was still a kid I always dream that I will be flying like tinkerbell in the movie peter pan someday. I guess its impossible to happen. I also dream of being a cinderella one time. I will have a pumpkin and it will be a carriage that will take me to my prince.. I have lots of imaginations.

I think most little girls have the fantasy of being a princess, the moment they have their first fairytale, being a princess instantly gives them the fantasy.

I used to dream a lot about aliens, got addicted to it actually, and when I was a kid, I was so afraid of going out to our garden or any open space during nights because I am convinced that an alien spaceship will just appear and they will kidnap me.

Its so funny and weird that aliens became my obsession as an adult. I think as a kid I was obsessed with dinosaurs too, Well I think most little boys did like dinosaurs specially the T-rex. My nanny then uses dinosaur gimmicks (like I will turn into T-rex if I will finish my meal)
