Daydreaming About Imaginary Scenarios

Does anyone else think up of imaginary scenarios in their head while at work, eating or commuting? I know that's a pretty common occurence, but all the scenarios I dream of involve prestige.

One dream I had a week ago was me watching American Psycho in theatres, while a super hot college broad sitting near me whispers "I love your hair, it looks identical to Patrick Bateman's hairdo." To which I respond "Thanks, by the way, I graduated with a first from Oxford and summa cum laude from Wharton, top bucket at GS TMT and currently a rainmaker at KKR."

I honestly come up with some of the cringiest scenarios involving me interjecting a monologue about my prestigious life into a conversation with hot women.

Anyone else had this happen to them?
