Imaginary lines are used in the rule of thirds. This is a guideline for achieving more dynamic/ interesting compositions.
It advises you to imagine a tic-tac-toe grid in your viewfinder, and to place your point of interest on one of those lines... or for bonus points, on one of the intersections.
With a landscape for example, you'd place the horizon either one third or two thirds up and never in the middle of the picture. With portraits, you'd put the person one third from either edge and not in the middle. And for a great composition, you'd frame his/ her face one third from the top of the viewfinder - on one of the intersections.
Of course, rules are meant to be broken ;-)
