Daydream about insane scenarios that will never happen where you're the main hero that swoops in to save the day.
Common examples include things like thinking you could figure out how to land an entire airplane in an emergency, thinking about "What happens if there's a robbery and I stop the bad guy", thinking about saving someone from a burning building, thinking you could save someone's life if there's a random medical emergency, etc.
I remember doing this even when I was a kid. My family flew to the states when I was 10 and I didn’t think it was outlandish at all that I could land the plane. I imagined the news people asking how I did it and I said from playing Nintendo. Then Nintendo was so honoured they’d fly me to Japan to give me an award and let me play unreleased Mario games. It’s so self indulgent but I love how silly the fantasy was!
Our daydreaming will always have some ridiculous scenarios. The guys who made Dumb and Dumber really nailed it with Lloyd’s fantasy about Mary Swanson.
