It was like this. I think it is similar to the first image you posted.

We must have found the same image if you check back on my previous.
The Mark 2

My stepfather had an Anglia in the same blue, but that wasnt a happy place.

I know

I don't think my Dad intended for me to like the smell of his cigarettes but I just did.

I think of relaxing on a beach resort somewhere in the French Polynesia, maybe in Bora Bora.That's my ideal place that hopefully one day, I will be able to travel to.

No, I've never had a "happy place". Closest thing I have is thinking of being with my pets, how it felt, but that's bittersweet since they're gone and will lead to sadness.

Does anyone else have a specific mental image or "place" they "go to" in their head; either for comfort or when feeling anxious or maybe to help with preventing a MeltDown?

I personally like to imagine myself in the middle of a forest somewhere, miles from anyone else, in a well-built shelter of some sort. I think about it when going to sleep, imagine myself tucked up under thick blankets, warmed by a camp-fire; nowhere near anyone else, and completely separated from the real world... something like this:

It sounds more to me like you want to escape the conceptual construct of society (hive-mind), and actually get more in contact with the real world.

As a child I had a real place located in a dip in a White Pine forest where I used sections of logs and dead tree limbs to construct a type of fort in the shape of a square, that I called "the compass" because I had designed it to point in each of four directions. It was heavily shaded, covered in 3 to 4 inches of pine straw all around, and very quiet and peaceful but for some bird song. All around it was surrounded by some Christmas Ferns, Pink Lady's Slipper Orchids, and many patches of White Indian Pipes like in this picture below. The dipped shape of the forest apparently encouraged the spores/seeds of these plants to gather in this area. It always gave me a special feeling being there.

When I was about ten I remember my mom telling me that if I thought of my crush I wouldn't be as scared at night. I still do that a lot. It's often Anna and Elsa but there are other characters I like that make me feel better too. It can also be the actresses themselves.

Sometimes I imagine how Anna and Elsa's life would continue. I think Kristoff would develop a strong friendship with Elsa. They would laugh in good humor about how Anna is. Anna likes adventure so they'd probably end up helping people and making more friends. They'd be happy together.

My happy place is walking up and down Carnaby Street and surrounding areas in 1960s London, hearing many Kinks songs on the radios each day dressed like The Kinks of course.

My happy place is mainly in my dreams that aren't nightmares, and aren't sad. The dreams I'm mainly talking about take place in this big house that I some how created in my dreams, and I only visit in my dreams sometimes. It's very hard to explain how the house looks, since I vaguely remember how it looks, I get a castle funeral home vibe from it. (Even though it has nothing to do with a funeral home. Maybe a castle? I'm not sure, I don't remember.)

I do. I used to imagine that I have a grand castle that I had it all by myself in an isolated isle. As I grow older, I imagine living in a middle of a forest, by a waterfall, doing a normal routine and preparing for the next day again and again.
And sometimes, something, somewhere everyone called "Pleasant Past Memories", which is warm, and sad sometimes.
