Imagination, unless one is deceased, will never cease to exist. No external influence can cause the stopping of imagination, as George Orwell's book "1984" proves. In the worst era of mankind, where even thinking thoughts against the government is a capital crime, the main character Winston Smith and others bravely defy the rules and imagine what life could have been if Communism hadn't ruined the earth.

Even though you may not think you do you imagine everyday. You may imagine that you saw something, or maybe your imagining that maybe in 5 seconds a robber might sneak in. You even imagine in your dreams. You have 5-10 dreams in a night. Usually you only remember 1 or 2 of them. So no, imagination can't be stopped.

I believe you can stop imagination. I would think that it would take a lot to stop it. You can't just wake up, and not imagine things. Theres quite a bit that a person does in a day that uses his/her imagination.

The dead do not imagine. Imagination is complex novel association and can't be stopped only slowed in the living.

no it can not be stopped. you use your imagination almost every day of your life. even when you sleep, you are using your imagination for dreams,ideas, and everyday life. well i guess you could stop your imagination somehow. you could try not to think about anything.this technique may work or it may not work,it all depends on what you do.

A lot of anti-depressants stop the imagination and dreaming.

no i don t think it will stopped as our god give us this special gift to get over obstacles and routine that we face each day and imagination is the motive force that push us forward in our life so life without imagination is like body without soul

No. It's always been working and will continue working.
Whether we imatine great things like "...all the people sharing all the world"
Or we imagine our darkest fears.
It's always at work.
