Perhaps the emotional rush is part of what makes something seem real to someone -- even if it's imaginary. I don't know which comes first, though, the emotion or the belief that something is real, but I've experienced something similar in regard to a few works of fiction. Despite knowing that something was fiction, I wanted certain characters to be real.
