Are you afraid of your own imagination?

There are times when I imagine something happening, and I know it’s in my imagination, but I can feel it as if it is real. There are times when I feel a connection with someone, and we never even touch, and yet I feel like we are one person. These feelings can be very intense and very powerful, and they scare me.

Why? I feel like I’m going over some kind of edge between a scientific perception of the world and a magical perception of the world. It becomes hard to remain skeptical. My imagination tells me one thing and my skepticism tells me it’s very unlikely.

Like knowing things from a distance? Is that magic? Is that being psychic? Or is that just having a very good imagination that allows me to make good guesses about something based on very little information, or even, apparently, no information.

It scares me because it is so seductive. I want to believe in it so much. I want to be someone who is in touch with the extrasensory powers that be. But I don’t see any evidence for them, except in my own imagination which, after all, is only imagination.
