what is wrong with me?

So I have these fantasies where I have conversations with movie characters, and I find myself easily slipping into a mode where I feel like the characters are watching me (my parents work with survelliance cameras, so I know whats actually possible). It's not an unpleasant feeling, so I'm reluctant to call it paranoia, but the only unpleasant thing about this whole thing is that the fantasies are not real and I am spending valuable time thinking about them. I kind of go between thinkng they are real and snapping out of it and realizing they arent, and then slipping back into thinking they are real again until I actually stop to think about it. It's kind of like, I don't stop to think if my dog is real, I just assume he is. In the same way, I just assume the movie characters are real and out there somewhere, at least until I stop to really think about it. It's kind of like when you idolize a famous singer or actor and you actually start thinking there is some possibility of the two of you getting married, even though deep down you know there isn't.

This is so weird. I'm not acually hearing voices in my head or anything like that, but some of these movie characters are from animated movies! Am I delusional? and if I am, where can I get info on this and how can I stop doing it? I've done some research on delusional disorders, and I understand that there are many sub-catagories (delusions of gradeur, paranoid delusions, etc.), so what catagory am I?

by the way, I am seeing a therapist because I have OCD and various anxiety disorders and my father passed away about a year ago (I was fifteen when it happened). My therapist doesn't really understand this particular problem (although he is amazing with the anxiety disorders, so I don't want to change therapists). I wondered if maybe somebody here has any ideas as to what this may be.

thank you so much for reading all of that.

Hi, i'm not a psychiatrist or anything but this is what i think

I think you should get yourself assessed by a psychiatrist. Because this to me sounds like schizophrenia. Or a precursor to it. You can have these sorts of hallucination/delusions in a positive way. It doesn't all have to be negative and paranoia.

Only if your therapist doesn't think of them being of a psychotic nature then maybe they are not. Do you notice if stress has any impact on them?

Stress seems to be a trigger for all varieties of mental health problems.

Anyway if i were you, i would not engage in the fantasies because the more you do, the more you strengthen the pathways and you could risk losing touch with reality, potentially.

You say it wastes time. Because i have realised that all fantasy wastes time, i now no longer entertain fantasy at all. When i see my mind wandering down fantasy line, i let those stories go and come back to the present and reality. Because they are a waste of time.

If you have OCD, these fantasies might seem like a minor concern but i would still suggest you don't indulge them. Look into brain plasticity and learn about how we can deepen our habit patterns simply by repeated use.
