When i was younger i would drive by a lot of trees. So i would make up these stories that the left side were the dinosaurs and the right side were the robots. It was always a different story but apparently the most intruging of the stories was the one where the dinosaurs would have babies with the robots which started a war between the two and it would end with a huge picnic sometimes i catch myself making up these stories till this day. Other bad moments ive had was were my imaginary friends who multiplied by the day at a very young age would tell me to cut my sisters hair so i did i got in huge trouble and told my parents that my imaginary friend ashley told me to do it they didnt believe me but they do now which happened when i was about five. I miss my imaginary friends soo much. :)

That is AWESOME! If that is too much imagination I am envious. I would love to have an imaginary friend. Stories about robots and dinosaurs...also very cool. (And no I am not poking fun. I'm serious.)

when I was about 14 I made up a story about an imaginary indian who lived in my back yard. His name was doorknob that is why I now often use the screen name doorknob on most of the forums I visit. I had many long and strange tails about doorknob that mother absolutely loved,. But I can't remember them any more. All I can remember is that doorknob loved rocks, and he was really an alien but I told every one he was an indian.

Now you all know the story behind my screen name. I use to have a hell of a lot of imagination but since the drugs I have a harder time coming up with things.

Yeah i also have a hard time coming up with things these meds are really serious though they arent strong enough to take my society.
It is really fun when i did it like really awesomely cool especially being so young and making a story for a long boring ride it was so cool.

Doorknob,

My screen name is Mona, because I have a friend from school who wants to be a photographer. He is always taking my picture. He calls me Mona, like Mona Lisa. Mona is only a nickname. I don't know what the 1200 is for. I put that in there just to make it unique I guess.

PS. Now everyone knows mine too...though it is not as interesting as yours.

I thought everyone had an imaginary friend - well that's not completely true. I had them - then they talked to me & I heard them (I can't hear the voices now and understand). Childhood is special and we just extend that a bit. I certainly extended to my teens.

Yeah i think everyone had imaginary friends I had tons of them had them by the thousands and they all live in my walls with their parents and i would talk to their parents to see if they could come out and play it was really fun i did that all the way up till i was about 16 maybe 17 im 18 now i miss them so much sometimes i wish they were never taken away. I had good and bad imaginary friends i liked the good ones cause they would defend me against the bad ones and during my psychosis they were my only hope but now theyre gone :(

Ive never had an imaginary friend. When I was in elementry school, there was this cornfield on the property next to the school, and on it was a wooden shack. I used to imagine that there was a rabid dog that lived there and would attack children. There were bones of children that it had killed hanging in the window of this shack. I ended up getting into trouble for telling other kids about the dog, but it had become pretty real to me, even though I knew it came out of my own thoughts. Im not sure who would want to make up something like that. At one point I used to see people as if they were not living anymore. It would just be like quick flashes of that person dead and then it would go away. I knew it was in my head though,
