As for me, my main reason is cause I want to get this idea that people have that "Pfffft! Its just magic/fiction, it doesn't exist." What I want to do is show that it can exist and you should have a little more imagination and think of the possibilities of being able to experience that in real life. And besides, the goal of a scientist is to unravel the mysteries of the universe.(which is next to impossible btw but its still interesting XD) I love science fiction which utilizes actual scientific concepts and not some nonsensical cliches. I like to believe that Dragons, Fairies, Flying Islands, Merpeople, Cosmic Entities, Reapers, and other Mythological things actually exist or existed and can have a logical reason for existing.

Oh and here's little tit-bit. We humans have actually lost some of the knowledge of the world that we had. We actually had some advanced civilizations which have left behind many things that have yet to be officially proven in science, like Alchemy, Stone Hedge, Easter Island Statues, my own country's past civilization among a few examples. In other words, some of our species were actually much smarter in the past and I suspect the reason for that was because they were more connected to Nature and the World itself.

A century ago how many people would think you crazy if you said that in the future, we will be able to do anything via a handheld device that allows us to talk to anyone in the world in under a second and even share and view pictures and moving images(videos) and learn infinite no. of things etc. for just a relatively small amount of cash?
