Possibly. I myself wouldn't characterize it as being more realistic or less realistic, but it's definitely more logical or rational...which I suppose makes it more realistic in a sense. It's like I'm thinking about the event and what might occur as a result, but it's one or more steps removed from visualizing it. I can think about it, but I don't put myself in that place. I wouldn't call thinking about what's going to happen as me being imaginative, because I am capable of imagining in detail what may happen, and that's just not what I usually do.

I find that when I do tend to imagine things, I'm in a specific 'I want to be social' mood, and I'll play out, as often as not, scenarios that will never happen. It's a good mood to be in generally.

I don't do what mollo does really. Part of it is that I have a hard time imagining or remembering emotional states to the point of experiencing them.
