As an idealistic person, I fantasize about waking up to a new world where all of the human race strives for the welfare of each other. In the words of John Lennon:

" You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will be as one"​

The word and concept of fantasizing seems to apply solely to positive imaginings, rather than including also the worrisome things, that we sometimes imagine might happen.

I also wonder if the word has a noun form, other than the fantasies themselves, such as the act of fantasization. ?

Well, that word did not pass the Spellchecker, so perhaps not!

Oh yes, that might be it!
Example: They fantasizated their school experience to have been far more eventful than it had actually been.

Or perhaps, it has more to do with the SIZE of the fantasy... ?
