Imagines

Mary often imagines her wedding.

The girl imagines that she is a doctor.

We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of the workman. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject.

A hypochondriac imagines maladies where none exist.

When I imagined imaginary images I imagined that my imagination imagined all the images, imagine when your imagination imagines images that even you can't imagine.

Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs.

Tom often imagines having a small house with a garden.

Fung imagines a scenario where a social media post with a celebrity in a red dress gets 500,000 "likes." An alert goes to a retailer that this item is trending. Within hours, a digital sample of a similar dress is on its website. A factory can start to produce the dress in days.

Science fiction often imagines our future on Mars and other planets as run by machines, with metallic cities and flying cars rising above dunes of red sand.

It is the 26th of February of 2015. Imaginary Visualization is my term for the practice of the mind in which one imagines a vivid, otherworldly scenario. One does it when there is nothing good on TV, no good video to watch, no good magazine to browse, no good book to read, and so on. "Moss Plain" is my Imaginary Visualization in which I wander a vast plain, covered by multicoloured moss. The sky is grey. There is a musky smell.
