Do characters in fictions we create have a kind of "conscious experience" ?

Who has time to read through threads and keep up with discussions? Idk, but I'd appreciate if someone summed them up!

Else it's a pain in the ass to read through. What do they say? Become the change you want to see in the world!

Do the fictions we create (daytime imagination, dreams, films, books, video games) with characters in them, give rise to real conscious experiences of these characters? Basically, if I imagine, or if I dream of a genocide, will it cause millions of conscious experiences of genocide to be experienced by "God" ?

If these conscious experiences exist, then ethically, is it immoral to imagine these things? Should we force ourselves to stop imagining them, try to stop dreaming of them, avoid consuming and producing works that depict such facts ? Are these conscientious experiences really analogous to those that we normally consider to exist, ours and those of people in the "real" world? Or, will the things the fiction is about really be experienced as conscious experiences of imagining/dreaming?

Sorry if this sounds like an absurd question but it's been bogging me for a while now. Thanks for your help !

Your fictions will not be experienced by anyone other than yourself, unless you share them. And then the only way your fictions will be experienced is by the interpretation and feelings it gives to the other. 

Stay grounded and away from these fairytails which make you fear "bad thoughts". Or this will be the beginning of your journey into OCD.
