Do you have a wild imagination? If so how good are you at keeping it under control?

Question

Friendlybro79 · Accepted Answer

Very vivid. I can control it unless I'm very bored. Sometimes at work, I've used my imagination to get me half days, (I work like crazy so I don't care lol) or just for laughs.

It usually starts with a random change of subject on friends that is boring me or politics... if they're talking about Trump, which is fine, but I can't listen to pro or anti political jargon for too long without being bored, I'll jump in and say...

Could you imagine if everyone in the US bought one item of food for donation a week that we are assigned on a rotating basis throughout the year... we could end hunger for prob many millions of people...

If I'm really bored I'll find something in a room and ask people really dumb questions very seriously to see how they respond. Will they take my question seriously and answer or do they know I'm kidding.

I think too much political talk is what triggers this for me now that I think of it. For example, I might look at a picture on someone's wall or a painting and say do you ever wonder why no one for fun carved Goliath out of Stone yet?

This can all be controlled but I like my wild imagination side lol

As for my imagination it’s not really wild however it’s a twisted one. With me the lights are flashing, the gates are down & no train is coming. The wheel is turning & the hamster is dead. I’m a sandwich short of a picnic. The lights are on & nobody’s home.

My profession and also my private life feeds on creativity.

I don't see a reason to reduce my ''wildness'' - it will produce ideas or concepts.

What is required later-on: to sort out the rubbish, and to keep the promising ''wild'' ideas.

Also: I think that imagination (of all sorts, and also the emotional ones) keeps us:

- alert

- aware

- flexible

- prepared

and such.

I am a natural enemy of ''control'' ... because it's a limitation of our potential.

How can MHO be given after only 1 day? I don't even get the option of choosing until after 2 days. Or maybe it was just my imagination.

HawkPerception · Answer

I don't know about wild  per se . I'm attempting to write a fantasy novel, so I think that takes some level of imagination. But I don't like psychedelic or LSD kinda wild. I like magic, mythical creatures and beings, superpowers, different universal laws... that kind of stuff.  This is the kind of wild imagination I'm not into.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

Depends on what you mean by “wild.” I’m a maladaptive daydreamer, I have a dozen or so daydreams made in highly intricate detail that I can call on and think about at any given time. Sometimes it happens when I’m driving, which isn’t great but it’s almost like filtering it to be see-through so I can still see what I’m doing. Otherwise, it’s fine

Grond21 · Answer

I do, And I used to have no control on it. I would imagine scenarios that weren't really even when I was learning to drive. But I quickly realized how dangerous that was because then I would react to something that wasn't real or not react to something that was. So I had to reign it in a lot.

I'm a writer so it sort of comes with the territory lol. My last book that I wrote and finished but I have to finish editing before I publish it was about a girl who falls in love with a ghost.

DangerouslyCute · Answer

I can't see any reason to keep it under control... I definitely enjoy it :D

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yeah, sometimes. Other times, not as wild as I'd like it. Most often, if not always, it's completely under control. By the way, is there and aardvark or an emu up my nose, right now?

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Yes. Not sure what you mean by "keeping it under control". Its an imagination, not a rabid hippo with laser eyes and rollerblades. I use it for art and other creative outlets.

NathanDavis · Answer

SotiCoto · Answer

I mostly keep my imagination under control and private. The only things I generally care to share with people are real-life things that might actually benefit them.
