Very interesting! It is interestesting to think about where my experiences deviated from the norm due to external factors, and how I developed thereafter. Fascinating.

The fantasy self is most interesting here. In literature it has been utilized so successfully well as a counterbalance to the mundane, rules-driven and even wicked adult world. Peter Pan. Narnia. Alice in Wonderland. The arts have an enormous debt to the child's fantasy self.
