You still use your imagination or did it die with adulthood?

[shanegotu11]

I'd say I still use mine but not as much as I used to. Part my imagination died with stress and life. However I still use my imagination enough.

 

[Pwent]

i probably spend about 10 minutes every morning in the shower just staring and half sleeping/half daydreaming

i also work very hard to use my imagination to make up stories and adventures and shit in my mind when im running. sometimes i can get lost in them and completely forget what im doing and by the time i finish making up the story im almost done with my run and it feels like i didnt even have to go through it

if theres a really good one that i dont finish by the time im done running, ill continue it on the next time and so on and so forth

im weird

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Yes I still do.

What if I had chosen that career?
What would I do with $1 billion?
What if I would have hooked up with that chick?

If anything, escapism becomes even more important as the realities of adult life set in.

 

[zapataxiv]

Of course I use my imagination all the time, it's a key part of my job. We all use it still it just becomes less fantastic depending on the situation.

thats usually how i start my stories, a "what would I do" type deal

but its usually more outlandish, like "if i had 50 million dollars and had to launder it without any help, how would I start?" and go through fine details of trying to figure out how much revenue a coffee shop or barber shop probably does and how much i could inflate the numbers etc.

all the way to "if i had warp speed technology, how would i start building a mars colony" and as i go, it become less and less grounded in realism as i start making up deus ex machina technology to fill in gaps i cant get past

feels weird to share it on here because ive spent so many hours on that kind of shit in my head but have never really tlaked about it

 

[Tycho- Taylor's Version]

I dream like a motherfucker. Last night I had a dream where I was at a bar with a girl listening to a folk song I'd never heard before. My sleeping brain composed a fucking song for my bedtime amusement.

Of course some of that transfers to waking life too, though the daydreams are never quite as good at the night ones.

 

[Emporio Alnino]

yes.. probably a little too often.

I use my imagination while masturbating.

Also, when solving business issues, and designing products and solutions.

I use vizualisation to help me succeed, but nor as often as I should.

 

[ShinkanPo]

I lack soul and imagination these days. I used to need to imagine things so I can make up excuses to my boss why I messed up a project.

Have you read the book Extreme Ownership?

Man the fuck up and tell your boss you screwed up.

Do you really want to be seen as an excuse maker and an incompetent employee?

It's a lot better being honest and incompetent than dishonest and incompetent.

 

[Scott Parker 27]

Nah, I lost my imagination when I changed careers from photography into IT. Still use it for jerkin off though.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Not now that I have unlimited access to internet porn.

 

[cobrinski]

Died,in pain and suffer.
Now,i live in this brutal big brother (freak)show

 

[Brofessor]

Yes. I imagine slapping the shit out of people every day.

 

[Fanu]

nowadays I only use my imagination to imagine how, all the hot female students walking by me on the street, would look like naked

living in Croatia (huge ratio of hot chicks) during summer is hard..

 

[AgentSmecker]

Only when motherfuckers don't post up pics in sherdog threads.

 

[xhaydenx]

I'm a writer and a game developer.

So, yeah, my imagination never really stops. Pretty much fantasizing about all sorts of different game and story scenarios in my head at all times.

 

[Don Quixote]

Yes, it's enlightening to use it.

 

[Organic Damage]

I depend on it. As much as it benefits writing, it benefits my sanity more.

 

[ShoelessRye]

I'm much like Walter Mitty.
