I don't know what to say except maybe getting a professional to talk with your daughter. Children can be very imaginative at this age but i think having someone who deals with children a child psychologist to see her would be helpful. It would ease your mind and help your daughter as well take care.

Violet is right. I would suggest you talk to a child psychologist about this and have her assess your daughter. Please ensure that the individual is a child psychologist - not just any old general counselor or therapist has the necessary training and skill to work with a child that young.
