I do that all the time. I mean it. ALL the time. It's kind of like a storyboard, if you know what I mean? "Then I say this, then he says that, then she does that, then that happens"... And I react on what I'm thinking, so suddenly I'm laughing/looking angry or something like that, out of nowhere. Really embarrasing, sometimes - but mostly I do it when I'm alone. Sometimes I talk to myself while doing it - even more akward, because I'm not always aware of what I'm doing when I'm in the middle of a fantasy, as you call it - so sometimes, out of the blue, I "wake up" and wonder if I have said anything out loud or something like that. I don't think I actually talk out loud when I'm out in "public" that much, but I'm sure it has happened... Let's just say, I'm not really that surprised when I hear other people talk to themselfes.

If I watch something boring on tv or something like that, then suddenly I realise that I've been living in my head for the past 10 minutes and have no idea what has happened on the show I was watching - even though I've been staring at the screen. These "episodes" happen every day, but I have never counted or anything like that... But I've been doing it as far back as I can remember. "Zoning out" is a symptom of ADD/ADHD, and having these "episodes" have made me wonder many times if I have ADD/ADHD... I haven't been tested. Not sure I want to, right now.

I know that people daydream, everybody does that. But I've always felt that "daydreaming" was a bad word for what I was doing... Daydreaming is more... Well, more "less" than what I'm doing, this storyboard-thing of mine, in my head. I think.
