It is true that babies and small children do laugh out of the blue for no apparent reason. I believe its because they are playing with their angel.
It is thought that after you tell a lie you can no longer see your angel any more. Which would explain why most children 5 and up usually stop laughing and talking just like that if not playing with a friend or family member.

Playing With Angels

Yes, I've watched all three of my children play with angels, I never call them imaginery friends.

I do believe this. Children are closer to spirits and guides or angels because they haven't yet learned to "not believe" in them. My granddaughter saw two angels at her birthday party when she was about 5. She said they were in the tree and then flew over the mountain. She had no idea that angels flew. When photos were developed later there was a ray of light that couldn't be explained coming down from the tree she saw them in. To this day I truly believe that one of them was my grandmother and the other possibly my aunt.

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in scientivistic philosophy. Consciousness is a fickle thing: can we honestly say that our experience - or even the consensus view - is the true reality, and that any contrary experiences are delusions or an overactive imagination?
If a child see angels, and an adult doesn't, it's quite biased to unthinkingly assume that the child is wrong.

Yes they do. I have seen my son's angel and trust me they are the real deal the reason that most babies and young children can more readily see and accept them is that they are still innocents. By the time we adults reach adulthood we are conditioned to let go of that innocence.

Not imaginary friends as such although my daughter of 18 now has called them imaginary friends herself.
She was in her cot, and she said and even still remembers being in her cot and seeing these little golden people running about, and of being picked up but not seeing anybody.
To this day she says they were real and that she got scared when got picked up and asked them in her baby lingo to leave her. They put her down and never came back.
It was something she spoke of at the time but I didn't understand her but it was something, a little event to her that she commented on a number of times in her life. She too has dreams a little like me, not so much but we do both dream weird things.
I have reared my kids to keep their minds open as they grow and most of them have very vivid and open imaginations

Hmmm.. Maybe. My 10 week old always smiles and laughs at this random empty spot on the ceiling in my bedroom. It makes me almost think there's something there that she can see that I can't. ;)
But I guess the bigger question is this: do you remember having imaginary friends? I do. E.T. was my imaginary friend. And it wasn't an angel, and I knew he wasn't real. :-)

I think babies do. I think imaginary friends are different. I'm not sure what I believe in regards to imaginary friends. I do believe that it deals more with perception than imagination.

Absolutely not!
Adults are lacking the vast imaginations that kids have.
