And I don't mean for art, writing, or anything like that, since not everyone is into those things. But sometimes I'll do weird stuff, like if I'm lying in bed I'll pretend that my entire room is a giant canyon and that there's whole civilizations living in it. Or if I'm watching a movie, I'll spread out a blanket on the floor and pretend I'm camping. I used to do that when I was little, but back then I would even build a fake fire and "roast" my beanie babies over it. Am I alone in this?

I have to be seriously bored and alone to manage using my imagination like that for even more than a few seconds. But I mean bored as in,

Sometimes, yes. It all depends on the day and how bored I am. Typically when I zone out I think about places in my writing instead of randomly using my imagination, but it happens occasionally. Not often enough I suppose.

Well, everybody uses their imagination! I doubt it's an option! Esspecially if you have a boring summer job like me... ;)

I'm constantly using my imagination. Anytime my mind is idle enough to fire it up, I'm imagining something or another. XD

Seriously, I think it's odd that anyone else doesn't use theirs. It's a vastly useful and FREE way to entertain yourself, as long as you know where the line of imagination and reality lies.

I do. Most of the time it's when I'm with my friends (IRL or online), as they seem to bring out more imaginative parts of me even than I can bring out by myself usually.

Mostly it's just brought upon by conversations going off into silly places. All my friends have huge imaginations so of course mixing them with mine will result in some crazy stuff. Other times actions will get it going. Mundane-sounding things like taking my neighbor friends to do their grocery shopping, for instance, are always an adventure to me. So is rescuing any one of them if they become stuck someplace and need a ride. I like being the heroine getting a call for help and dashing to the scene in my one-of-a-kind car~ :D

Alone, my imagination does wander a lot, especially when I'm trying to fall asleep. Many of my most profound ideas come to me that way. If I'm really preoccupied with stuff, though, my imagination is sometimes pushed to the side and doesn't surface as often, unless whatever I'm preoccupied with is stressing me out.

Also, I agree with Pachy.

Yes, I don't know about the same kind of things the OP said, but I do exercise my imagination daily.

I use it quite often because of how bored I can find myself becoming. There really isn't too much that can captivate my attention easily, so I do like to be able to use my imagination and let things flow from whatever one idea is in the moment to the next. Most of the time I do just find myself lying on the bed and randomly letting my imagination take me away whenever I don't have much to do and get bored.

...ooof course I also do this while I'm at my desk using the computer! I've got a couple of toys decorating my desk, so it's nice to mess around with them every now and then to kill time.

So very much. Truthfully, I pretty much use my imagination for everything. Like during school last year, I would try to get my friend to pretend to be spies with me while walking to lunch. She thought I was crazy. Also, during tests and school work, I would pretend that it was something super top-secret and if I failed something bad would happen. Even when I'm not at school, I still love to use my imagination. Like while taking random walks or swimming, I would pretend something. XD;;

I use my imagination for many things! Sometimes I can be in my room and thinking about all sorts of weird and quirky stuff which are quite funny. :3

Sometimes, my imagination makes me scared, especially when I've just watched a horror movie or something. o.o

My imagination is just way to large. I use it to daydream constantly. I daydream ALL the time. It's almost... sad. And then I just day dream about something happy.

I always try and get my friends to pretend to be something with me (like spies). But like above poster said, my friends also think I'm crazy. But thats ok, I'm used to being known by all as the weird one.

I live in the desert and sometimes I like to go out on walks with my friends and we would pretend that the scenery is some post-apocalyptic wasteland and we're Armageddon survivors. We would scavenge things that would be useful to survive (tin cans, pieces of metal, car tires, plastic bags, etc... yeah, a lot of littering going on) and bring it back to shack which we made our "home," but it's actually an abandoned ice factory irl. Also, when we find empty water bottles, we fill it up with icky stuff... just because. I even bought two gas masks just to do this. As for now, we're trying to figure out how to start a bonfire without flints, matches, or whatever. No success so far. :<

When I am alone, I would buy Blood Energy Potions, go outside at exactly 12:00am and drink the stuff and pretend that I satisfied my blood lust for the night. >_>

So no, you're not alone?

Yuus.

Wen i'm lyin' in my bed at night. or during the day. or in the afternoon. or anywhere for that matter. I start thinking weird things. :x

so weird that your heads will implode upon hearing about them. The PC server would just start melting if I actually posted it online.

Then the internet's router would have to be restarted. We would log into TEN.ONE.ONE.ONE caus the letters make it possible to do so and the we'd all wait as the whole world's internet connects to the internet.

I use my imagination all the time. The real world, as far as I'm concerned, is really quite dull.

Sometimes, when I used the bathroom at school, I'd pretend that the bathroom is a time machine and when I get out I imagine that I actually did travel through time. :D So then I'd pretend it was the year 4000 or 1980 or something like that. I also do that when I'm in the car sometimes. (Like in Back to the Future. xD)
And when I'm not doing that, I'm usually daydreaming about traveling through time and seeing aliens and visiting alternate dimensions and all that fun stuff. Maybe I should just write a science fiction novel. ;P
if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to fear

if you've something to hide, you shouldn't even be here
