I do even at my age. Well lets just say I've seen 50 come and go, lol.
No really do you have a good active imagination? I do! When life is getting me down and the things around me are not what I wish them to be I can be where ever or whatever I want to be. I can dream up a whole days life going here and there. Working on this or that. I have plenty of money and businesses that I have friends and family working at so they are employed.
Hey, I jet set around the world buying for my store. I have an assisstant. I mean I really need one I'm so busy someone has to keep up with all I need to do and when.
I have a gym in the home and I don't have to go out to one. There's also an indoor pool to use for those relaxing time, oh I cna't forget the jaccuzy. Oh man I just don't know what I'd do without it.
Sometimes you know how you get so lost in what you are doing? So lost that you forget things sometimes? Well, I do that too...I forget to come home. No really my real home. I'm in my make believe world and forget to come to my real one.
But then, really who doesn't want to get lost in a reality sometimes?
What is your imagination scenes about? Do you forget to come home?
Tell us about it. I know I want to hear what you do.
What's in your world?
Thanks for responses.

I have a very active and vivid imagination. I could tell you all kinds of details from a dream or day dream. I can also set up the setting in a book and give more details than what the author does.

I do not have an active imagination. I have a very vvvid imagination. I try and be active but somehow I can not be very active and turn out to be pessimistic. I have to change my imagination but how I dont know.

Oh dear it's easy, be more optomistic...how can you dream and imagine much if you are alwaays so pessimistic. You probably think nothing will ever happen.
Being optomistic you would know that anything is posssible. Thank you fo responding.

That's good and healthy of you to do
...it sounds a lot of what you're doing is "visualization"...sort of a law of attraction type thing maybe??? I have my "vision boards" to help me with my visualization/imagination, with pictures of places I plan to travel, my jaguar car, my yacht, my private LearJet, my dream home, I have images of money on it for all the money I have...
I have these vision boards all over the place,..near my computer...one near my bed so it's the first thing I see in the morning..I even have a virtual one that I use as my screensaver. It includes many of the ideas there plus a photo of a bottle of dom perignon champagne..the most expensive champagne in the world...hey why not?
I include an image of it here
I also have a vivid imagination since I'm a writer with a lot of short stories under my belt and novels "in the works"

Not really at all times. There are things or happenings and even people that I could no longer remember. Only those that are close to my heart. But if i ever encounter the, it flashes back in my mind.

Hi,I don't have much of an imagination. Some times I think about things I wish I had done Or things I wish I could do.I think about what I could do to help my family and the needy if I had the resources to do it. When I was younger I would imagine myself being a private investigator or being in the military Or owning my own book store and coffee house or traveling to different countries.Alas I never got to do those things. It's good to have an imagination,to go to places in your mind. Bless you moondancer.

Hi again dear. Yes I have a vivid imagination and it keeps me up. Life isn't fair sometimes and most of us don't have what deserve. We work all the life to have something and just one year can take all from us. We give all from us to our friends and don't receive nothing in return and so on. If we can imagine the things in different ways it makes our soul and heart to be born again and it keeps we up to go on with our life. I always dream with open eyes LOL because it is better than my real life. Sometimes I have dreams very close to yours LOL.
Have nice dreams my dear and a nice real life too.

I work so hard on my real life teka as I know you do as well. It is so hard many times with the way family and friends can get us down at times. But we must stand strong, even in our dreams. That's what's so nice about dreaming we can be or do whatever we want to. You have nice dreams too dear. And a very good life.

Yeah I always imagine things whether I am asleep or not. Like before I go to sleep I like to daydream a bit. During the day I ask many philosophical and "what if" questions to my friends and family. And when I dream it's always strange and unbelievable. Oh well. My imagination makes life more exciting sometimes. :)

Yes, I have a vivid imagination. Especially now, I am in such a bad financial situation. I dream about winning the lottery, and helping out my family. I imagine, that I am able to go shopping and not have to look at the prices or tags.
I love the new house I will buy with my winnings, and my cats each have their own rooms. I dream about the great vacation I am preparing to go on with my husband.
sometimes you have to dream or else you will lose your mind.

Exactly, you hit the nail right on the head. We must dream or we would go absolutely mad. I think all of us have thought of winning that darn lottery...the thing is I don't waste the money on the tickets...lol. I know I won't win. I love you dreaming.

I think you are as young or as old as you feel ! It is great to hear your views, you are a very positive person and i feel that it is a very important part of your personality because you transmit that positivity to others around you- Keep it up always and go on imagining.I can say that i too have a vivid imagination and this helps me in keeping a happier and more positive frame of mind. I try to weave my imagination around my life and try to make it as real as possible.
Another thing i have noticed is that when you imagine and start thinking about a certain issue, you can do it repeatedly and start fine tuning it and may be try and imagine some more as to how to go about making it real.And believe me you can make it happen ..

Yes, you are so right anything can and will happen if a person really wants it to enough. And about being as old or young as you feel this is oh so right too. I'm not my age and haven't been for a long time. I don't feel my age. My mind is so much younger. Thank you for your response.

I do think that I have a very active and vivid imagination and I know this because of the dreams I have a night and because of some of the ideas that I can think up. We all have a vivid imaigination but it only becomes active once we let it run wild. That's where things like fear stem from because when we see something that we're unsure about our imaginations can play tricks on us and frighten us from some of the scary thoughts we think. The imagination is great and I'm glad that I have one because it allows me to think of things that are much better then the things that are of this world.

oooh, oooh yes isn't it great. They are some wicked characters out there. I know some really wacky one. They are tall and wiry, with lots of hair. Big huge eyes that look in all directions. They eat meat but only certain types. I'm glad because I wouldn't want to be part of the menu. We must becareful though because some do eat our type of meat. A bit scary those people out there.
Yes, you are so right. Thank you for responding and I do agree or can't you tell.
