Using Fantasy to Imagine a Better Life Fantasy can serve as a tool to break free from feeling stuck and closed off from a better life, allowing people to imagine a different reality and peer over the walls to see what’s possible. This can help individuals see their way to a different class and explore new opportunities.

Dreaming about a life you should be living. The car you should be driving, the job you should have. In Wyatt’s case, it got him in trouble. But sometimes when you’re feeling stuck and closed off from a better life, fantasy is a tool that you can use. Imagining a different reality can help you peer over the walls and see what’s possible to see your way to a different class. Next time on Classy, we’ll talk to someone who did that, even named a record after it.
