so to imaginary people we're imaginary and they're friends are real, but to us they're imaginary and to us our friends are real.

It doesn’t matter.

“ You see, the basis of all reasoning is the mind's awareness of itself. What we think, the external objects we perceive, are all like actors that come on and off stage. But our consciousness, the stage itself, is always present to us.”
- Kyle Broflofsky

Ghosts are but the echos of time and space, specters of our minds at play.

I think there's a good argument to be had that at least 80% of us and our real friends are still imaginary. (As per Buddhist Lojong Slogan: Regard All Dharmas As Dreams).

I'm not exactly sure how the math translates though, in regard to how imaginary the imaginary friends are - to us, each other, and whatnot. (And are imaginary friends 180% imaginary to us, or only 100%? :shrug: )

Yes they are. I was trying to be a bit playful with concepts. ( :cheese: )

eta: I have suspicions about [MENTION=71]JAVO[/MENTION] though. Has anyone here actually seen and/or touched him? Do we know for sure he's not some en masse typo c imaginary friend?

I am imaginary of course!

I am an imaginary friend conjured by the collective unconscious of a number of people on here.

Yes, I am the critical cynic in everyone's head. Speaking words they do not want to admit, for it would unravel who they are.
