I've often wondered if those who write true fantasy don't glimpse and dream in other worlds. The worlds I read seem far more real to me than my own, their colors brighter and clearer, and their lives more vigorous than this dull and dreary world in which I toil.

I often dream, that one day I will find my own door into summer, the passage through which I may attain my own world in which to dream and live a hero's life. And then I wake, and am sad that my dreaming had to end.

How wonderful it must be, to know your dream and live in it. How truly divine the life perfected, the dream fulfilled.

And then I look, and see once more the pages, not the world. Mere ink and paper, where before there was flesh and sunlight and sound.

And I long for my dreams once more.

and that, is really what fantasy is; a dream come real in the confounds of your mind, the writer neednt do more then tell you where his or her mind is and your mind follows instantly; filling in- you'll notice- everything that the author forgot to tell you about, like the curious shine of the apples in the orchard, or how delicate a morning person must look after she's lost her one true love.

If im not mistaken, its called [i cant quite recall what it was called --_--]Its when you begin to believe that your actually there. Its that heart pounding moment you feel when the heroins have encountered a particularly evil villian for the umpteenth time and its the tears you shed for the the sacrifice of a warrior that never was.

the mind is a magical thing, and this segment was particularly lovely, thank you.

It's called 'suspension of disbelief', the goal of every bit of fiction ever meant to be taken seriously.

no no, not that, when you feel like your actually there. I mean you believe it. Im fairly certain it had something to do with converting text into images.
