From my experience with imagination fatigue, one of two things has happened:

1) There is Unignorable Stress somewhere in your life and you can't escape into fantasy because your brain is busy working on the problem of the Stress. Although daydreaming / fantasising / imagining is considered stress relieving, it only really works when the stress you're experiencing is something that's reasonably familiar to you. Unignorable Stress can also mean a lack of socialisation, touch, or general human contact so if you've been isolating yourself, you really do need to start trying to get back out there.

1) Your brain has exhausted the dopamine it can squeeze out of your fantasies and you need fresh material. There's a reason authors are prolific readers; inspiration doesn't come from others and the novelty and ingenuity of others powers your own. Ideally, you'd also include new experiences as well as new media; going to a new cafe, trying a different route to a familiar place, trying out something like a massage or rollercoaster that really connects you to your body. By existing and enjoying what you can of reality, you'll give your imagination the fuel it needs to work again.
