Rêverie (Daydream), 1903, by Emmanuel Phillips Fox
In psychoanalytic theory, fantasy is a broad range of mental experiences, mediated by the faculty of imagination in the human brain, generally consisting of scenarios that are impossible or unlikely to happen. Often, they are an expression of certain desires through vivid mental imagery.
