    I hadn’t remembered this in years, but I always imagined myself out there like the Flash and how my older brothers were in the car watching me burn it up and being super impressed. I literally might not have remembered that during my entire adult life. Thanks for reminding me. Although I was more like seven at the time.

    Regrettably no. I would imagine myself unhinge my jaw and eat all the trees and brushes we would pass. For whatever reason, kindergarten-me strongly believed that everything without a heartbeat looked very delicious and edible. Trees, clouds, snow, sand, windmills, brick buildings, flags, other cars, busses and the sun itself.

    Grew out of that phase when I began school, but yeah. In a way I kinda miss being so young and new to living that you’re still figuring out what is and isn’t possible. The world seemed a lot more fun when you didn’t yet know the rules, lol.

    It was Mario, represented by a dirty spot or water droplet on the window, who would be made to jump over things by moving my head up and down

    I would imagine a BMX bike in tow. Using bridge embankments to clear roads… 😎

    I had a blade extending from my hand and cut down everything we passed like telephone poles and trees and mailboxes but I couldn’t let it touch metal so I had to angle my hand up if we passed anything like that.

      Similar, I had lasers coming out of the side mirrors but would have to take my hand off the “button” so it wouldn’t cut down the signs, telephone poles, mailboxes, people, etc.

    Close, but not quite the same. I used my fingers as the imaginary runner, leaping from thing to thing, riding wires, etc.

    I had a cheetah running along, occasionally a horse. But not in the city, only on the motorway

      I had Sonic, from the Sonic Riders series. Seeing as Sonic could slide through some cable thing, made sense. Plus, like, Danny Phantom, maybe, and maybe others.

    Nah, it was my imaginary friend doing bmx tricks, we didn’t have parkour back then.

    Also, how could a person run fast enough to keep up with a motor vehicle? Sheesh, does your imagination completely ignore science? You gotta have at least a bicycle to keep up.

    Also, this is the first time I’ve ever seen or heard someone else talk about this kind of daydream. So, it’s pretty fucking cool, even though the details aren’t the same.

    No I was imagining a rod of destruction sticking out the side of the car, and whenever it hit a building we were driving past it would annihilate the building like the juggernaut ran through it.

    … isn’t that what normal kids thought about?
