One thing I believe is that the less you're involved in fantasy, the more realistic your dreams are. So if you're a simple, practical man without beliefs in supernatural, your dreams will be about daily life; but if you read fantasy and have superstitious beliefs and watch a lot of movies, you will have more complex and bizarre dreams. I mean, it's hard to dream about something you haven't encountered.

I guess it is very hard to not encounter fantasy in daily life (though most of it is marketed as reality).

Yes, I know what you mean, but you can say no to movies, social media, tv, and choose to live in the countryside for example (of course that depends on your financial situation and where you live). That alone makes a big difference.
