I don't know you or your story, but I suspect that you have been doing this for a while. Perhaps you were abused as a child and escaped to a fantasy world where things were okay. Perhaps the ability to enact scenarios before they played out helped you to feel in control of any situation that might scare you.
Either way, this sounds like a mechanism of protection to me, either to get out of a current situation or to predict, control and cope with a possible future one.
I would look at what is going on around you and in your life during time you are most likely to fantasize. You might learn a lot about yourself.
