Dear Ima,
Delusions are false things that you believe to be true. What you are describing sounds a lot like fantasy, which is normal and common. Some fantasies are more creative and elaborate than others but if you do not believe them to be true, they are still just fantasies and not delusions.
Sounds like you have an active imagination. If I told you some of the things I thought of when I was 15, it would scare you. But, I did not act on those thoughts or believe them to be true. I even heard voices when I was in my early teens but I was completely aware that they were created by me, in my mind and were not real voices from outside, talking to me. There's a big difference.
