To put a different slant on things... I think most people already live in an imaginary world of their own making, living out their lives oblivious to their own social conditioning, fulfilling roles that they were born into and educated into, conforming to what is expected by their peers, seldom questioning what life really is and what it is all about. Unhappy with their lot people then look for more fantasy worlds to inhabit.


This is pretty much how I view the world, too. When everything works out easily for someone, it's unlikely they'll ever develop or try to look at anything in a different way. It's as if true growth needs friction to push against.

Yup, same here. This is a relatively new quest though, as I was only diagnosed a year ago (at age 45). Until then, my aim (it failed, of course) was to hide my real self to fit in with the so-called "real" world. Swapping one fantasy world (albeit one that millions of people buy into) for another seems pointlesss and just wrong. For now I'd like to stop hiding away like I'm some sort of secret agent and unearth a more real me who was buried decades ago. It ain't easy, though and, as you say, I can see this occupying the rest of my life!

A place where people would shutup and get along.

A world of my own creation, where my word is law. Where no one is treated badly for being "different."

The X-men world in which I could be one of mutants, hiding my power (preferably power of reality warping like Scarlet Witch or such a power like Cessily Kincaid).

Star Wars universe, especially if i could be a Jedi.

Star Trek. I'm surpised more aspies didn't pick this. It's the most adventurous exploring in the most structured possible way. Plus their uniforms look so aspie friendly :) Replicators, transporters, humans reaching a moral and social evolutionary plateu. What's not to like about that? Frankly I'm surprised so many people picked dystopias. Love to get disturbed reading about them, would hate to live in one.

Kingdom Hearts, all worlds included. It's one of the few games I'm not sure I'll ever get tired of.

Dinotopia. A utopia with dinosaur friends?? Enough said.

Otherland. I'm so ready for VR. Even though the whole story was kind of a techno criticism, it had a sort of irresistable childlike wonder to it, looking at a very believable not too distant future through the eyes of so many different characters including children. The moral issues in it weren't forced, it told a really great story in a very captivting yet plausible universe, and let you see it from so many angles.

Star Wars : I would want to be really strong in the Force and both Sith and Jedi would try to convince me to join their sides. But which one I would pick would presently be unknown. It would be in the regular Universe, or it would be in an Alternate Universe where I could become Darth Maul's Apprentice.

G1 Transformers: I know mostly the Earth there would be just like the Earth here, but except with some big transforming robots on it. I would like to be one of the humans that know of their existance and gets to fight along with the Autobots. I would like to see what the Decepticons are up to if I were to side with them, but I would try to stay away from both Starscream and Megatron. (Starscream is a treacherous coward who will turn on someone if it benefits him. Megatron is somewhat honorable, but has a bad, bad temper.) Also I would love to be a scientist there, so I could make super gadgets and do lots of other neat stuff. Or especially if I was there, I would end up getting turned into a Transformer (a Seeker like Starscream) by mind transfer or nanotechnology.

Gremlins 1 and 2: Odd choice I know, but I would want to see as a scientist how the Mogwai and Gremlins live, grow, and especially reproduce. I would have those gene splicing liquids that are in the second movie, and I would make a girl Gremlin like they had in that same movie. Plus I would have the Smart Gremlin too.

As they have been mentioned before: Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Toril (Forgotten Realms) for various reasons.

Part of me, though would take what we have now, except I would have my own ship and be able to leave the planet and travel the stars. (I have been daydreaming about this again for the past two weeks. It is fun.)

Chrono Trigger. I don't care if it it's a video game.
