Research: Definition of Fantasy

Definition from Oxford dictionary: A fanciful mental image, typically one on which a person often dwells and which reflects their conscious or unconscious wishes:
The notion of being independent is a child’s ultimate fantasy

A fantasy is something you imagine, which might involve dragons, unicorns, an imaginary best friend or mythical creatures. If you live in a fantasy world, you're not worrying much about reality.

Fantasy is dreams and imagination. In a football fantasy league, you can create your own dream team. In literature, fantasy — a genre similar to science fiction — might include a story about a three-headed squirrel and a bionic aardvark that fall in love on a planet made entirely of strawberries. Romance can be fantasy, too, according to a Billy Joel song: "It's just a fantasy. It's not the real thing. But sometimes a fantasy is all you need."
