Reality sucks, at least it can from time to time, while in fantasy land it is up to you to decide what turn it takes. Fantasies are ego castles and they will be grand, because you as the the creator of your fantasy world have the power to make them that way. Fantasies can be highly addictive. As you create your neurological pathways it takes little to trigger them to set off a chain reaction; the plots get thicker and more and more elaborate, and all these paths lead straight into the pleasure center of your brain. You must feel the increased blood flow to your brain as you spend longer and longer times in your mental kingdom, and when reality calls you to come back, you get irritable.
I remember once in elementary school discussing a boy who was in love with his comic book hero, and as he felt weak and lost in his real life, he compensated by getting increasingly lost in his fantasy world. " How sad!", my teacher said, and I honestly didn't understand then why it is a problem to get lost in a fantasy world. Today I do, life constantly invites you to play with it. Unless you make a profession selling 'prince charming fantasies', show up in real life and you will see no need to get lost in fantasy land.
