As a kid I remember that my imagination was way more strong and vivid. When pretend playing e.g. being a pilot of a plane with my cousin , it felt good as if we were doing it in real. Of course we didn't know what the real thing was like. But it did evoke strong visual fantasy feelings.
I got the same feelings reading books with lots of colorful cartoons and things. I use to have a book with characters doing something with icecream so tall it's coming from helicopter or something. They all used to feel SOLID and REAL. Then I grew up and found that book again after many years. I couldn't see those characters and things as real objects anymore.
I haven't read this pdf but I believe other kids do it for the same. Imagination is strong and they could do and be anything pretending.
- frickinLasers 5y agoInteresting. I don't recall ever using my imagination actively like this. I didn't understand why other kids liked dolls/action figures. I read voraciously, and the words would paint pictures for me, and I spent countless hours with construction-type toys (Lego, Erector sets). But I guess it never occurred to me to want to be someone else.
