Imagination

Do you have an over-active imagination?

I mean I suppose that I could be said to have an overactive imagination. Things, sounds, emotions sort-of trigger this strange stream of sub-conciousness. I mean one time, after checking out some American Idol, I'd been listening to some Los Campesinos and began to imagine legitimizing the American Idol competition by singing sick music from "unconventional" bands and genres. This of-course lead to me dominating the polls and getting the top prize. That in turn lead to being questioned by People (The Magazine). During the course of the questioning, I made a comment about the damage that malpractice litigators have had on the medical litigators. This of-course lead to my being sued by a coalition of malpractice representatives (here is the point that the sequence becomes strange). I immediately defended myself through several public speeches regarding the deconstruction of the American legal system and the violation of my first amendment rights. This cascaded into my becoming the most politically influential teenager...ever. I eventually received the opportunity to debate Sarah Palin, embarrassing her in-front of the American political community and delegitimizing her potential administration. She gave a speech several moments later, as a concession of defeat. During the speech, I appeared on a large projection screen behind the platform and proceeded to make vulgar motions for the remainder of her speech. Than this other time!

Yes I understand. Does this imagination occasionally have negative effects?

I guess. I mean certain images get supercharged in my head, perhaps in some sub-concious attempt to justify my feelings regarding the aforementioned image. For example: if I hear that 2 people danced in my absence, I automatically assume that the dancing "must" have been of the most vulgar nature...damn near sex. Beyond that, the dancing in my head "must" automatically lead to a relationship. That relationship "must" lead to sex. That sex "must" be better than anything I could ever offer. You get the idea. Imagination tends to get the best of me.

Do you see positive effects to your overactive imagination?

Yes. I mean the more realistic images in my head could be considered goals; goals that I immediately pursuit. I may be a dreamer but I also try to be a doer. Dreams are real only if you strive to achieve them...right? That, and I have this strange feeling that my imagination makes me better in bed. Does that make sense?

*laugh* I suppose those are positive benefits, and I guess that sort-of makes sense.

Good session doc, I'll see you this time next month. Thanks.

...hey Jack.

Yes doc.

You really do have an overactive imagination.

Yea definitely...we haven't had an actual session in months.
