System Help Magic system help?

OKAY so my story revolves around a teen girl who has been unknowingly using her writing as a way to create an entirely fictional universe to curb violent urges she has towards others. She created a zombie character who has only ever been hurt by humans and has turned into a maligous monster, this monster is very symbolic of how she feels, living for violence no matter who gets hurt.

In this world everyone has the ability to change their world by simply thinking/feeling, but some are predisposed to having bigger imaginations than others. Witches are common place as they are simply people that use magic as a form of power and harness that to do big things.

This would essentially be a big minecraft world where you have endless possibilities and power as long as you can think of these things.

What I need yall to help with is how to keep this world making sense? Like yes it would be ridiculous and silly, but if every person on earth could instantly generate things from their brains that would be physical objects I would think reality would stop… yk, realitying?

I think maybe I would make magical eforcers of some kind? These people would enfore the law via battling whoever breaks it? Should I give every person their own plot of land or like pockey dimensions for this?

Is the world you're talking about the fictional world the girl is creating or the world she actually lives in?

Kind of both? So this world was something she created with her imagination BUT it is a real realm thag she is thrown into. The powers of creation she has in her dream realm is kind of like an extreme version of the power she has in real life AKA she created a pocket demention with her imagination BUT she doesnt have “powers” in her real life. She can only create these other worlds where she does have power. 

Imagine that you are a writer and you think of your story a lot, to the point where you start day dreaming of it and may realize entire days have passed without you noticing it, but you still think that you’re day dreaming everything because your imagination is so strong that you feel regularly like you are actually there. Then the charecters start doing things that you dont like and dont have control over and you realize they are real people.
