When we imagine, our we really imagining? Or are we merely replaying, in the movie theatres of our minds, the lives we have lived in previous existences. With those existences unfolding on entirely different planets, or even in entirely different universes, perhaps. How else would we know what dragons look like, or werewolves, or mermaids, for that matter. How can we vision, in our mind's eye, marvels our physical eyes have never seen before. Surely we must have experienced the entire contents of our dreams and imaginations. Or could the truth of our mental conjurings be found in the mundane, simple life experiences transposed upon one another, to create something rather weird and wonderful. For example, combining the scalely lizard and the destructive nature of fire, to conjur tales of dragons , or the transposition of man and wolf to envision the werewolf. But if our imagination is merely the result of mundane transposition. Then, how do we account for the vivid imaginations and dreams of those afflicted with blindness since birth. For they have the ability to dream and imagine with the best. In that respect it can only be concluded that we have previously lived our dreams and imaginations. Doing so in a different point in space and in time. The magic that created us, is a magic with unknown depth and possibility, so who knows.
