Dunno. Mabye its called imaging yourself doing all that......
that's what it seems... but, what I ment was how sometimes you have those future visions, right? (previously explained)
I ment, perhaps when you "imagine" your future you could really be having visions of the possible futures? (as in Dimension 5 with the tree of your future {have you not seen the video?}) the "alternate realities" are just different versions of the same timeframe.
-----
Let's take Archie's Sonic Comics for example. More specifically the "25 Years into the future" stories.
In the first version of that, Sonic is the king with Sally and they have two kids and the world is peaceful and stuff. We'll call this "Reality A".
In the second version, Shadow is the king and he rules with an Iron Fist. and Knuckles is a severvant for him. We'll call this "Reality B"
Reality A is the path that was triggered by Sally marrying Sonic so the world is peaceful... Reality B's path would be triggered if Sally marrys Shadow instead.

I think I'll us a more known example if you don't get that.
Remember that Sonic NextGen/06 Game? The one with Iblis and crap?
And You know that big Dimension/Time plothole with Blaze?
My theory is that the Blaze portrayed in the Rush games is from the "Good Future", where Iblis doesn't exist. (I guess this is where the Portable Games takes place. The Reality where Iblis is non-Existant.) Marine and the Coconut Crew exist here.
And then the Blaze we saw in NextGen/06 is the one in the "Bad Future", the Reality that has Iblis. (This is the world where the Console games seem to take place, by my assumption.) Silver is also from this reality.
In other words, different games take place in different realities.
The World -----------> The world Without Iblis->Blaze in Rush, Marine, and the Coconut Crew

The world with Iblis-> Blaze in NextGen/06
as for Silver:
The World -----------> The world Without Iblis->Blaze in Rush, Marine, and the Coconut Crew-Silver is nonexistant.

The world with Iblis -> Blaze & Silver know each other, Rush never happened.-->The Events of Next Gen Occur.

The Rivals Series.
Why did I choose the Sonic Games as an example? Best thing I can think of.
