When I was a kid, I didn't have an imaginary friend that would follow me around the place like most. I had made characters that were animated inside stuff animals. In my mind, they were always alive, no matter if I was with them or not. Each one had a personality, a job, a family, and a backstory. And they all lived in the same town and interacted with my sister's stuff animals. They still do so today, in my mind at least.
Strange thing is, they never spoke to me. They spoke to each other, acting like they truely were alive. Another concept is that they believed humans were mythical creatures that roamed in an invisible place in which they cannot see. So they were merely a town invented by myself to take myself away from a rather uninteresting world.
This is probably a little similar to what you guys are talking about. I thought I was the only one who did that!
