fantasize and daydream are around the same thing!! mostly about thinking about something you like. for example, if i’m studying and i start to lose concentration and think about something else, i am daydreaming or fantasizing :-) but daydream could be a noun as well like “she was lost in a daydream” but for fantasize, it can only be used as a verb. fancy is totally different!! for example, if i like pasta, i can say “i fancy pasta”!! it sort of means “like” or “love”!! it can also be used to describe something that is very elaborate and decorative. for example, if my friend was wearing a shiny long dress, i could say “wow that’s fancy!”

i think remember and recollect technically mean the same thing! but remember is used more often :-)
remind is when you cause someone else to remember something. for example, if I left my umbrella somewhere and you said “don’t forget that your umbrella is there!” - you REMINDed me that it was there. whereas recall is the same as remember, when something is brought back into your own mind. using the same example, if i said “oh my umbrella is there!” then i would have recalled for myself
