Have you ever had an imaginary friend?

[Penny]

What was his/her name? How old were you back then?


I remember having a bunch of imaginary friends when I was 5 or 6 years old. Well, they were actual dolls I had, but I remember drawing a heart with my mom's red lipstick on each of them, and praying so they would become alive and so they could play with me... I know it's ridiculous but it brings tears to my eyes to think about this! I felt very lonely then, I don't really know why, because I had loving parents, a sister, and real friends... But anyways, I used to act as though they were real, and actually talking to me, and I would answer imaginary questions.

Haha I remember my lil sister Pauline had an imaginary friend named Patah-Shoo - when she was like 4.. so cute :)

mine was actually an imaginary enemy
his name was Jason
he looked like the one lamb dude from Garfield and Friends

[Quest_techie]

yes......

I had many

I had an entire imaginary world they lived within

on some level that world still exists, but it serves a different capacity...

My imaginary friend could only speak japanese......and i can't :(

[synaptic aether]

yea

but it was more like an imagenary world

every now and then in school ('grade school') or when i got bored, a portal would open and adventures would happen. for some reason, i modeled it after the movie Cool World ....

I had an imaginary world too!! I used to draw about it: I imagined there was a whole cool world under my bedroom's floor, there was a tile that could open, and stairs, that went down a looooooooong way and there was my world :) I used to pray so it really existed and one day I'd wake up, open the floor tile and the stairs would be there..

my 2-year old daughter, bree, has a kind of imaginary world - it's called candytown - but everyone has their own candytown and we can visit eachother.....no matter where she is - she can tell you where her grandmother's candytown is - or mine - or her's - and what's goin' on in her candytown.

one day - i asked her what was happenin' in candytown and she said "there's a really small clown and a horse playing there" i don't know why the clown was small or why it was there with a horse - but i'm just glad that she can come up with that kind of stuff :)

peace all

peace all thats' sooooo cute
it's cool that your daughter has such an imagination, I think that's the most important thing for a child

i think she's pretty darn cute myself but i am a touch biased - i try to let my kids imagination run WILD and i always ask them questions about the "pretending" and imagination play they have - hopefully i'm not reinforcing any confusion about reality - but i figure that if the limits aren't there - well they can think up anything - maybe something truly amazing!!!

[Penny]

Yeah that's just too adorable!! Candytown... kids rock :D

[hug a bahaii today]

yeah i dig 'em - wish i still had the imagination i used to have when i was a little noodle!! - thanks for the imaginary world penny - *looks side to side* i like what you've done with the place!!

peace all,

[NatureFreak412]

Yeah I had 2

One was named Ugly song and was a giant rat that wore a checkard shirt and had glasses.

The other was named Walter and he wore overalls.. They lived in the imaginary downstairs behind my bed...

I was like 6 but I still remember them.

i believe we all have nontangable friends, perhapse many of them. it is only religeous prejudice that makes us call them immaginary.

whatever god or gods there are must of neccessity be nontangable to exist outside of time and space which i cannot see how it or they could have created, or caused to be set in motion the causes of it, withoug doing or having done so. but not all that is nontangible has to be greater then ourselves to exist either.

did i ever have a particular sentient nontangible friend? i know there was someone i communicated with nontangibly when i was going through early adolescence. i thought they were tangible though, just on there way here and still too far away to communicate with in any other way.

there was also something like a kind of class i took once in my dreams, on a clearly defined other then this world i was living on at the time and still am.

i have always wished happiness to all beings, but equaly enjoyed and even often prefer, being away from tangible living sentients. the nontangable are generaly less intrusive and have never been a problem.

well there were a couple that kind of scared me a little when i was very young. one went away and the other i made peace with.

i had an imaginary friend when i was 3-4 year old . i had a kidney cancer when i was 3 year old , and i think this imaginary friend was something in my mind who help me to fight the cancer.
i think a lot of kids have those imaginary friend to help them on some "problems" they have (on which adults cant help them).
hope you understand what i said , since i m not a good english speaker

see you..

I don't remember ever having an imaginary friend - at least not one that I actually named and related to on a regular basis. But I did have conversations with imaginary people - some of these people were real people I knew and I would tell them stuff I never got to tell them for real. Others were cartoon characters or characters from books, tv or movies. And still some others were people that I imagined.

And until now, I still talk to them. I just make sure no one real is around.
