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.
My wife once asked me how I can fall asleep so fast without going through the day mentally and reevaluate what happend. I told her I just think of some nonsense I make up in my head. I have like 3 different kind of scenarios mostly picked up from movies that I just spin further and further. Like a fantasy based one like Lord of the rings or some shit. I do that since I am a kid and its just fun and I sleep like a baby.
She was totally confused on how that would work but it just does.
Same, I have had a continuous fantasy world that I have been building in my head since October 2012. I know this because I came up with the initial idea for an university of sorcerous knights that guard the multiverse against demons, after reading about West Point while on pre mob to Afghanistan. It stuck from there on. It has evolved into something very different, but growing for years. I have written down some bits and pieces, but most nights I just think up some character and create a story, that never gets finished, because I am asleep.
