Dear Megan Goodgirl,

The answer is yes, I did...even at the age of 18...

But what I wanted to tell you is about Edgar Cayce, the mystic known as the sleeping prophet...

He had imaginary friends as a little boy, and his mother could also sense them; she would tell him when the friends were outside and wanting him to come play!

Not at all. I read some of Edgar Cayce in my 20's. "Harvey," Jimmy Stewart's imaginary friend and "Edgar Cayce" are both associated in my mind with similar signatory attributes good ones, just unique). I just made a convoluted association temporarily.

Well Tom I appreciate your kind comment...and I don't like to disillusion you, but my writing does get rambly, a bit disconnected at times...but it's okay, the world needs strange people (like me) too!

I can barely recall Harvey...saw it in childhood I think...good impression of it...

Harvey was a pookah (not sure about the spelling). I remember that, at the end of the movie,Jimmy gave him away to a drunk he met in a bar.

No, but my best friend and I had a lot of imaginary snakes ( to go along with the real snakes in the rock pile ) that would go to war with each other when we had our falling out periods.

Nope. I did have stuffed animals that I'd talk to and play with. A dog named Harry, a bear named Henry and a tiny green elephant named Hannah.

I was also evidently a fan of the letter H back then.

I never really had one, but I always love the concept, so I would have "imaginary imaginary friends". I didn't really treat them as real, I just made them up as a game or hobby.

Yes, I did. In a house with five kids, it's hard to find something that was all your own without having to share it. So, until I was in 4th grade, I did have a couple of imaginary friends.
