"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.
