Holy smoke we can get rid of some fantasies, we really can. But then being stupido we create new ones. We need to guard that. That guarding is a big part of the work to dissolve fantasy.
Basically we want to feel good about ourselves and so we use fantasy for that. That's why we find it hard to get rid of fantasy because we have a 'good' use for it.
We can use fantasy to know what makes us feel good. Usually getting things done, achieving something and being something is what makes us feel good. Really just 'being' is what makes us feel good in reality. We forget that. If we remember this we can put fantasy aside more and more. The more we do it the more we understand that we don't need fantasy.
Most of our fantasies are about doing something towards a result that we are usually too lazy or too weak to do or too impatient to work for.
So when we start to do it, we feel good and fantasy drops off to the way side.
This post has some clues in it that helps to displace the fantasy generated by any ego but more in particular those generated by pride. where the fantasy is about achieving, doing something and being something special etc.
