When I was four my brother convinced me that all of the little tiny dots of light were people. So I would sit there day after day and stare very closely at the screen so that i could give each of them names and families. I had a whole world for them in the screen. And would sit and talk very closely to each of them every day. This beleif continued untill i was ten. And my dad said if i didnt stop talking to them he'd break the screen and kill them all.

When I was in 6th grade, I had already had a multitude of imaginary friends. For some reason, my friends Katie, Lynne and I decided to have imaginary children. Mine was a little boy named Harvey (I'd just seen the play about the invisible bunny) and we carried them around everywhere, just like we would real children. I'm sure our teacher thought it was mighty strange that the three of us walked around with our hips stuck out like we were carrying something when there wasn't really anything there.

OK, I've seen others who gave personalities to numbers. I gave personalities to my crayons, and by extension, colors in general. Purple (and if available, pink) were the lovely maidens. Red and blue were the cute guys fighting over purple. Green was a friend of the "boys." Yellow was the average-looking friend of the "girls." When I got bored in class, I'd sit and create whole stories in my head, moving the crayons around my desk accordingly.

And I was in the gifted program!

When I was about 6, I was absolutely terrified of The Things That Go Bump In the Night, which were (in my mind) an entire race of monsters and boogiemen and ghosts and demons and the like. So I deliberately made up an imaginary friend named Midoon (MIDnight-nOON) who would protect me from the dark monsters. He was the actual, real Prince of the Night, but the Things had stolen it from him and he had to defeat them all to get it back.

When I was about 3 or 4 years old, I believed that there was a family of tiny people living under the chest of drawers. It was a family: the father, Hunkle Bunkle; the mother, Bake-a-cake; and the children, the Oochie-Coochies. Yes, those were the names I made up for them. I remember showing my sister pieces of fuzz under the chest of drawers, and telling her which member of the family each one was. She believed me, but that's OK because she was only 5 or six.

E-man

When I was about 2 or 3 me and my sister both had imaginary friends my friend was named John-boy and hers was named Dandy-girl and my sister and I used to argue about which of our friends was cooler or better at sports or smarter etc. And I remember actually getting into a fist fight over our friends and to this day she still has a scar on her leg from me trying to cut her leg off with a plastic-play knife.

I had imaginary friends when I was about 3 years old....they were twins named Ging & Gong....I talked to them and imagined that the replied....Mommy actually set places at the dinner table for them!

It must be hereditary....my son had an imaginary friend when he was about the same age....a truckdriver named Charlie who lived in the corner of our living room....he has startled guests many times by yelling, "be careful! don't step on Charlie!" Charlie also ate meals with us.

My brother had an imaginary friend named Rogney until he was about 10. When he desided to not play with Rogney anymore, we had a going away party (my brother, sister, and I) and at the end of the party we opened the closet door and waved goodbye to Rogney, as the closet was the entrance to "Imaginaryland", where Rogney lived.

Lydia

I had an imaginary friend called Columbia who was a very important and busy woman. She would only visit occasionally. When NASA launched Columbia I was amazed that she was that famous that they would name a spaceship after her. I still don't know what Columbia really is but I always think of my friend when I see something about it.

When I was in Kindergaten or first grade, I took the bus to school. My bus stopped at the train tracks and opened its doors to let my imaginary friend Isabell in. She would sit by me, but we wouldn't talk.

Angie

When I was in grade 3 i had an imaginary pet unicorn named Crystal she used to hide under my desk at school. And when it was lunch time i used to throw little bits of food to her so she wouldn't get hungry. The teacher never quite understood why there was always such a big mess under my desk by the end of the day.

Kat

When I was about 10 I had an imaginary friend called Kelly, I didn't really have any real friends in school so I'd sit at break times 'talking to her'. I remember my cousin telling me one day that she too had got a an imaginary friend who was also called Kelly, so I forced 'my' Kelly to change her name to Kelly-Gemma lol.

I used to have an imaginary friend called Anita and when i was younger i used to go swimming lessons and even though i couldnt really see her i used to think it was a sort of spirit helping me come first in all the races which by the way i did :)

Sammy

I had this imaginary friend named Ashley when I was 5 and we'd do everything together. My older brother and his friends would always make fun of me because I would walk around "talking to myself" then one day, Ashley and I got into a big fight and I haven't seen her since :(

Crazy

When I was 8 i used to think the kids from books were real so I used to hang out with Ella for Ella Enchanted, Hermione from Harry Potter, and Addie and Meryl from The 2 Princesses of Bamarre.

My invisible friend was named Kelly. I had her when I was 4, she looked exactly like me except she had green eyes. She could fly and almost taught me how. When I was 5 I met a girl named Kelly with green eyes and I thought that was totally cool. We were all best friends and the invisible Kelly consoled me when I was 6 and the real Kelly moved. She lived on the top of my bunk bed.
