At least to my knowledge, I've always felt more drawn to the non-grounded, outlandish (to us, now) concepts and ideas that throughout history have developed and reject the dominant, grounded sandbox idea with strict, unbreakable rules. And it is normal, since that is how things seem to be; thinking otherwise requires imagination, dissatisfaction, and, most importantly, propension to believe. It manifests in fantasy, comics and the like. And I, too, have felt drawn to these representations in fiction. But, wanting to believe in fiction, and after realizing that it wasn't, but still wanting to, it led me to the non-fictional as well.
 Again, this dissatisfaction with this world, where apparently only grounded and trivial -- although marvelous -- things occur, creates the need to see beyond.
