What are some good ways to stimulate your imagination?

Question

I don't mean by simply reading a book but something that gets your child-like Imagination back. Example: On a front porch you pretend like you are on a massive airship. LOL Does this make any sense?

Answer 1

The easiest tried and tested approach is watching the clouds and thinking what they look like, and imagining a story in it. It's relaxing, it allows your brain to respond to very subtle cues, and it can create a huge range of results...plus it's relaxing...aaaahhhh.....castles......

Answer 2

Makes perfect sense! Hanging out and actually enjoying and playing along with children of that age which is normally around 3-5 will get your imagination going! I'm a nanny and we always play silly games like sneeky monster or whatever....its all made up....it can be really fun!

Answer 3

Yes, this makes sense. How about just taking a nature walk? I I don't mean like scouting birds. Like an imaginary walk. Picture the gnomes and forest people living in a little hobbit....the unicorns in the meadow with the fresh morning dew glittering in the bright sunlight.....

Answer 4

This website always gets me going Elfwood.com Looking at the pictures inspires me. Also if I watch fence posts as we drive by then I start to imagine jumping from post to post. Like I did when I was a kid.

Answer 5

Pick up differant objects around your home and try to imagine where it came from, who made it, what they were thinking when they made it. How the object makes you feel. what you would do if all of a sudden came alive, and attacked you. lol
Just start thinking up stories about differant things and see where it takes you.......

Answer 6

Sure it makes sense. It's fine to have some fun just as long as there aren't too many witnesses.
