Idk how common imaginary friends are among daydreams, do you?Yup. I've had imaginary friends since childhood and I still have them as an adult. The main one I interact with I've had since I was around 11 to 12-years-old. He brings me a lot of comfort in life. He's even the main character of most of my daydreams.
Yeah, there doesn't seem to be much research in regards to adults with imaginary friends, let alone in regards to daydreams and imaginary friends. I'll probably try looking a bit more into later.Idk how common imaginary friends are among daydreams, do you?
