SC's and imaginary friends...

[John Elessar]

Just tossing this out there-could they have been one for you when you were a young child? Thoughts?

Never had an imaginary friend, but I always used to have conversations out loud like I was actually talking to someone. Oddly enough my TF told me he used to do this all the time and still does to this day (I do occasionally as well). So it's possible I guess.

So did I. Maybe also because I was the youngest and my brother and sisters were already much older than me but I used to play in my garden and speak outloud like playing with someone else. I do not remember actually "seeing" someone else playing with me.

To this date I think probably I was speaking or playing with spirit guides. Not sure about it though.

I do believe that I was somebody else's imaginary friend, in a past life or between lives or however this works.

And, I have an inkling that the child in my past life vision, who had imagined me into being (or, simply attuned to my presence, because my imaginary friend self in this life, also had a life outside of this child, that this child did not imagine) grew up into someone who I then met and became very attached to in the "real world".

Mine probably was. He was the male version of me...

That's what I am thinking in my case, hence the thread. Biggest revelation in 3+ months worth of earthshaking revelations. If I am "John", I called 'him' "Johnny", and he left ("I sent him back to Mars", according to what my mom told me-this all hit me when I watched the film "Martian Child" last night) soon after we got my sister, which was 2 months before TS was born. I was 4 1/2 years old. Other clues abound here BTW. Who imagined who I wonder...coimagined? Explains why she felt so familiar to me-because we had played together before.

Wow. This stuff is humbling me to the utter core. Literal twin souls. <boggled>

I have had many imaginary friends, however the day I was born was the day he was conceived, so I don't think he was ever one of them.

When I was about 3 I would lock myself into a closet and talk to my "friend". My mom said I would spend hours in there. One day I said my friend died, and I never went back in the closet. I always wonder who exactly I was talking to!
