Is my imagination unique?

Hello, I am writing because I want to talk about what I believe is my unique imagination. I hope you will forgive me for using a translator—my English is not very good. So, my brain conjures up unlikely, interesting, and strange scenarios throughout the day. For example, I imagined how I got into a mathematics university, became the head of a poker club, and am now battling a rebellious newcomer who wants to take my place. Or, how I accidentally met a beautiful girl with schizophrenia who later tried to kill me, but in the end, I married her, though my son turned out to be quite untalented. Or, from today, I imagined trying to explain to an IQ fan how to say "I love IQ" in a shortened form, but in the laws of my imaginary world, he fundamentally cannot comprehend what Q is and is utterly incapable of thinking about that letter or sound. The number of my fantasies, which come to me completely involuntarily, can reach dozens in a day. I hope you can help me understand how unique this is.

Well, I’m aphantastic and write fiction for a living, so my imagination seems to have a similar limber quality to yours–making up random stuff and running with it. I think it was more fanciful and I tended to follow the threads more (and for longer) when I was younger, but I still have a very rich internal imaginative life, although with no images.

And your English is very good!

Anxiety makes my mind do this. It wants to distract itself from something. I alos do this a lot right before falling asleep
