I have no fantasies of my present environment getting better per se, but I do sometimes fantasize about it getting worse in a dramatic and fantastical fashion rather than the gradual, insidious, boring slide downwards of real life. Maybe get kidnapped under mistaken identity, smuggled to Cuba, caught in the middle of an altercation and escape, wander about lost in a foreign nation, discover purpose, either adapt to or escape the place, find redemption(?). As a movie it would be "okay"—enjoyable but largely forgettable with plot discrepancies. Years later someone may think "what was that 6/10 movie with the cool Latin jazz soundtrack that worked as foreground or background?" "I forget the movie's name, but the soundtrack was Watermelon Man! Pretty on the nose..." before realizing they were talking to themselves.
