Do you use your imagination a lot?

I've always had an active imagination.  

I pretended that toy cars were people.  I pretended that Legos were people.  In some instances I would just imagine people of sorts out of nothing.  Not always thay I could see the people, but they were represented by something. A Lego, a car or a space.  

I also imagined that I was a part of TV shows.  After a TV show I would pace around my room and imagine what would happen if I was in that episode.  
House- I was some brilliant 12 year old medical doctor helping house.  
Naruto - I was some brilliant Ninja, doing my own thing.  

I also imagined that I had super powers, or I was super stupidly rich or I made video games at an obscene pace.  
I'm talking like own the world economy stupid rich, and making GTA V in 4 weeks fast.  Absolutely crazy things.  
For the games I imagined stories, gameplay, sales.  I always had all of it in my head.

I spent ludicrous amounts of time imagining things.  I don't do it so much anymore.
But I wanted to share my experiences, I largely kept these to myself because it isn't exactly normal. ::P

I definitely imagined myself having super powers. I remember when Infamous came out, I tried to imagine myself grinding on power lines as a mode of transportation :P

As a kid we'd play an empire building game in the backyard by throwing frisbees and imagining they were generation ships. You'd try to go for the smoothest landing possible so that the fewest died. Then you'd send out search parties and add more random toys to represent mines, generators, farms, living quarters, etc. Even would send more generation ships as needed. Would also fight and wage war against each other. It was turn based and was all the rage for me and my siblings.

Probably the only imagination with toys I've ever done. I prefer drawing out my ideas and feeling like I'm really making them. I "designed" my own country including cities, laws, military, etc. Had a segmented cruise ship that could bend like long buses. In middle school I somewhat switched over to computer modeling since I could make things more detailed. I still do this type of stuff, but now I just claim it's world building for a video game  ::)


I also imagine things when I'm trying to fall asleep. I usually have some concept in my head that I explore for a few weeks before moving on to the next. They tend to be really stupid ones usually about me having odd super powers. Sometimes the concepts carry over into a lucid dream so that's fun.
