When I was a kid and writing a lot, I was always in these other worlds – not here in this world as much. Now, I am rarely in those other worlds, and mostly in this world. Not that this world is bad – there are some screwed-up things about it, but overall, there are a lot of good things about it.
While we could say there are really no limits in this world, there are definitely none in those other worlds. And as a writer, I have freedom to go between them. I just would rather be in those other worlds more often than not.
It's a technical point that doesn't need to be mentioned, but I think when a writer is in those other worlds, he/she is actually still in this world as well. At the same time, we're in this world and in that world.
The trick is just to write down what you see. Write it down in a way that will be understood to the readers and which of course is engaging.
