Oh yeah, here's another thought. What if what we call imagination is really just projections of real events from multiple universes entering our minds?
Now that's an unsettling thought (I used to die in my dreams a lot. In pretty ugly ways).

I have extremely vivid dreams, usually these are lucid and I have a lot of control over what I think/feel/even do in this universe sometimes, and they always take place in places that LOOK like they could exist anywhere. It usually takes place in malls, streets, shops, houses, out in nature, etc. Looks like it could come from anywhere on earth, but many of these places are not ones that I ever do or have visited in real life (that I'm aware of) or that I've seen before.
Now sometimes, I can figure out that things are bits and pieces of various things I would recognized that are thrown together to create something entirely new. I find this really fascinating, as a LOT of different places will come together to create something that looks like this could exist ANYWHERE, but it really doesn't. I can't say I ever have dreams that take place solely in places that I DO recognize, it's either someplace that I have never ever been or it's these intricate worlds that come about from all sorts of different places that I am familiar with as something totally new. If that makes any sense.
You could take, lets say your school, now imagine various parts of many different malls or shopping centers you've been to, as well as other school's you've visited or attended before, and now you have an entirely new place. It's not that one room or one spot looks like one place and you walk to another room and it's somewhere else, there's just bits and pieces of different details that come together and make up and entirely new place that looks completely foreign to you, but you know in the back of your mind that it's like a bunch of different places are running together. Then of courses there are places that ARE ones you know of in your dream, but they look completely different then real life, and again in extreme detail but you really can't recognize what this place actually is. So it would be cool if there were alternate universes like that.
And then of course there will be people (or characters) that I do know in my dreams, but I've come up with tons and tons of people that I have never seen or met or really know anyone quite like them, but they exist in vivid detail in my head.
I've actually been trying to write a novel of sorts trying to incorporate the places and characters I've seen in my dreams. I've tried to keep it as I saw it but since I haven't had very many of them that connect together (for awhile I had some that took place in the same universe with some of the same characters, so I tried to keep it based on that) so there's creative libbing, but it's amazing to see all the details and worlds coming from my supposedly unconscious self.
Though I have to say one of the weirder things about all of that is the fact that sometimes I'll dream that I am in the past, not the far past but probably within a handful of years before I was even born. It's always around that time, but I'm always aware of the fact that I am not from that time or place and that I happened to come here for a reason I can never recall. Again there are things that are somewhat based on places that I DO know and recognize (because of course, some of these places still exist today or atleast sometime while I was alive) but these tend to be the dreams where I see places and people that are REALLY nothing like anything I've known before. Sometime's i'll get dreams (lately I've had dreams manifest from whatever I was thinking about before I went to bed, that's not usually how it goes though) that have to do with people I know, my friends, or something in my life but, these particular dreams are like some place entirely.
The most recent one had to do with a town that had a lot of things and places I really did not recognize, but I think it was stuck in some sort of time bubble. I was clearly dropped into 1987 or something, with my real car, into a place that look like it could've existed but, it obviously would've not been something I would've been alive to see. In some places I had the ability to walk into an old store and, on the inside it would be like it is today, but on the outside I very clearly saw things that would've appeared as they did back then. Having to get away from some creepers aside, I did figure out that you could not escape the town (if you went off into the silent hill-esque mist, you didn't come back) but everyone really believed they were from this particular time. Despite my clothes and obviously more modern car, no one really questioned me, even though they could see and fully interact with me. Again sometimes I could look at things and they would flicker in and out of what they could look like now and what they would've looked like back then. But again, most places that I've never seen before in my life.
I really wish it knew what I mean when I see stuff like that. I always have. I've always had a creative mind and overactive imagination to the max, and these dreams have gone on as long as I can remember. I don't find it really weird now, but when I think back on when I was 3-4 and having dreams like this in places that I possibly couldn't have seen before (and still in my dreams now, I see places that I saw back then, or parts of them, I have never seen again since that time) and with people are circumstances I really knew /nothing/ about at the time. Alternate universe/timelines, or weirdass imagination XD I have no idea. These really come out of left field, though.

That's actually because when you're asleep, your brain cannot create anything ie place, faces, people… it reaches into your memory and takes things from there, and thus makes up your dreams... Now you might say "I don't remember this person" but if you know abit about Psychology, you would know about your Sensory Memory, which are things you smell, see etc and sometimes you would see a face on the street and never think about it again, but somewhere in your brain, that persons face will be stored. So maybe those old building you saw in your dreams could be from a movie you saw etc
I personally like to try and play a game and see how many of the faces I saw I know, and where from :p pretty interesting tbh :p
Anyway, another thought I have is, can animals understand what I say? lol like in every country the, owner speaks to his cat/dog in his language, could it be that they understand every language in the world 0.0
When a was younger there would be times where I would always think "This is real life and I'm eventually going to die, This is real life and I'm eventually going to die, This is real life and I'm eventually going to die etc."
And I would do this 'til I became extremely frightened and almost pass out.
Other weird thoughts:
When I was in 6th grade I once daydreamed about a janitor at my school picking up one of the kids in my geography class in the cafeteria, jumping into one of the trash cans we used to put our empty trays and milk cartons into, setting him down (in the trash can with him), and making out with him in front of everyone there.
Also, the main character from the book I'm writing eating a cake that has menstrual blood as icing.
- Stop time in class room and fuck bitches
Defo one of my fav thoughts lol also what if I just started fucking bitches randomly in class, how would other people react? would they jump on me?
I actually imagine these kind of situations alot, sometimes when I in mid convo, I stop listening and think, what if I randomly punched this guy really hard now, with the fun conov we just had, would his happy face instantly change to angry? or if grab that girls boob, same thing? lol
Also, when will this convo end? how will it end? is it still long? do i need to make a excuse for it to end, or will the other person just stop talking? (and then I think, why am I thinking these things, listen you fool lol)
Haha, I also have these thoughts about the multiverse xD
