Is it normal to fantasize about a different life?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to imagine a different life. Daydreaming about other possibilities can be a way to explore what you want, or simply take a mental break from everyday routines.

Lots of people picture a different version of their life—another job, another home, a different set of choices, or just a day where everything goes smoothly. Sometimes it points to something you’d like more of; sometimes it’s just an entertaining escape, like making up a story in your head.

It’s not a problem unless the fantasies leave you feeling stuck or unhappy most of the time, or make it hard to show up for the life you have. Otherwise, your imagination is allowed to redecorate now and then.
