I think it's nice to pretend that middle earth really exists, and that you're an elf etc (I do it often enough). I honestly don't see a problem with it. Middle Earth sounds like such a beautiful place, somewhere you could just forget about everything and be yourself. I would absolutely love it if ME really existed and I was really an elf (unfortunately, i know that this isn't true, and will never happen...) but as i'm writing this i'm looking out my window at a gorgeous day, i see trees, and i can imagine I'm in Lothlorien or somewhere like that and it's amazing.
I'm not really sure what i'm driving at here, but it's a good thing!
Imagination is healthy, and whether you're 5, 15, or 30 it can give you so much inspiration and enjoyment.
