So you chat with angels, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, spiritual guides, the dead, those who have yet to be incarnated and aliens? Do you, perhaps, also answer their questions aloud whilst rocking back and forth on a park bench? :)
Seriously though, everything you mentioned could be alternatively described as "I daydream a lot". Can you see how others might draw this conclusion? What I mean is, do you at least acknowledge how travelling to other dimensions and talking to magical beings, and doing all of this in your mind, might be what other people describe as daydreaming or making use of one's imagination?
Your post seems to suggest that you have difficulty distinguishing between your desires, your imagination, and objective reality - for example, you construct the mental image of an angel with whom you converse and this for you is proof that angels actually exist and speak to you. You wish that something was real, you imagine it being real, and your imagination is proof enough that it is real.
Look, I could close my eyes this very moment and imagine a sea of liquid jade below a sky of strange constellations - but this doesn't mean that I have actually travelled there or that the place exists. I could imagine myself meeting and talking to any number of strange and wonderful entities, but this doesn't mean that any of them exist either.
...I happen to be a spiritual medium - I go into a light trance state and join with a higher presence which speaks through me using my voice. I hold regular conversations with people who are not in a physical body, be they `deceased` or who have never incarnated. Occasionally I sense and see their materialisation physically and they have a very healing presence for those in grief and loss. I talk to and experience the presence of Angels including occasionally seeing them. I hear voices in my mind from spiritual guides, Jesus or the Holy Spirit, or other enlightened beings including God. They are all quite readily available to help. I experience telepathy quite often with my wife. I have experienced on rare occasion materialization of objects. I have travelled to other dimensions in my mind and met with several races of beings from other planets, but not on the physical level. I have had numerous spiritual experiences which completely defy the so called laws of physics. I have memory recall of past lives and have also seen into the future a few times...
