Summary

This quote suggests that fantasies serve not only as a means to escape from an undesirable reality but also as a way to envision and prepare for future actions. It implies that all actions taken in the real world first take shape in our imagination as plans or rehearsals. In other words, our fantasies are not just a form of entertainment but also a necessary aspect of human creativity and the foundation for tangible outcomes in the external world.
