My twin brother and I never had what you would call "imaginary friends." But what we did do, on a regular basis, was to take turns pretending to BE characters that we had invented. There were probably about 12- 14 different specific characters. They also ranged in age, gender, build, even race. Some of them were so outrageous that we've always been too embarrased to tell ANYONE about this! This isn't at all like multiple personality disorder, in that we were always aware that we were pretending. We've done this ever since we were able to interact, and at the present age of 49, we still occasionally do it for our enjoyment. I still believe, to this day, that we are to only two people to ever do this to the extent that we do!

My sister told me that I was born as a gorilla but changed into a little girl through the miracle of modern plastic surgery. She also told me not to feel bad, as there were several other 'conversions' in our neighborhood which she pointed out to me.

Up until I was about twelve, I had a rather peculiar form of identity crises. I was and am obsessed with reading, and eventually came up with the idea that I *was* this or that character. In the fourth grade, I was very much into the Lord of the Rings.(Yes, I know I was/am a geek) I had convinced myself that I was Arwen, and there was just a lot of complications about why I...um...wasn't Arwen. I was very pleased with this arrangement, but it was all shaken when I read Harry Potter. Then, I became confused as to whether I was Voldemort's long-lost daughter or Arwen-With-A-Head-Injury. I eventually settled on Voldemort's daughter, and was in a great state or distress when I failed to receive my Hogwarts letter. Crying, and much of it.
But I'm okay now. Now I know that I'm actually a vampire, and I'm old enough that the sun doesn't hurt me. ;D

I used to believe that my family were all millionaires but my two brothers, my sister and myself were being brought up in an ordinary household so we could be taught the real value of money and did not grow up spoilt. I remember thinking that my mother would tell us all when we turned eighteen. I must have believed this until I was at least twelve because I was sure that my brother and sister, who are both over six years older than me, already knew and were keeping the family secret from me.
Lachlan
When I was very young, around 3-6, I used to believe I, my soul, would never die -- that it was impossible to die. I believed if my body died, I would get to be me in someone else's body.

My mum used to tell me that when i was naughty it was because the invisible naughty worm was inside me, so whenever we were going out somewhere i would have to squeeze the worm out of the top of my head and hide it behind a photo of myself. Because i used to believe everything my mum said i thought it was the naughty worm misbehaving not me!

I was convinced that before I turned 19, I would transform back into a mermaid and return to my home in the sea. After seeing The Little Mermaid when I was 5, I just knew that I was in fact a mermaid. I turned 19 a few months ago and was crushed when I wasn't sent back home.
Hannah
I used to believe that I was in a dream, maybe even being dreamt by myself, after all we appear in our own dreams, and that if I (or whoever was dreaming it) woke up that I would somehow be in another place and time.
Jude Horrocks
I used to believe I was really an animal in disguise. What kind of animal I was varied greatly. I kept trying to convince people(especially my mom) that i really and truly was an animal.

top belief!
In my more paranoid moments as a young child I used to believe that I was accidentally saying everything I thought out loud. I thought the whole world could hear what I was thinking but everyone around me had conspired to make sure I never found out. I even thought there might be news bulletins on telly about my thoughts whenever I went out of the room. How self-absorbed is that?
Charlie
My Nana told me that she was an Irish princess who lost her estate to the English and that I was one too. One day we were going to reclaim the throne.
Meghan USA
I always used to think that I could enter different places such as 'Gardenia' (Through the Giant Oak Tree in my Schoolyard) while others couldn't. I always thought myself 'special'.
Jason
I used to believe I was Michael Jackson (keep in mind I was a little white girl and he was a little black boy). I couldn't understand why people laughed when I told them "my name's not Ashley, it's Michael Jackson"!
the real michael jackson
I used to believe I was part of a scientific experiment to study how a human acts in controled environment. I believed there was another planet of people and the earth was made by them to watch me. They knew my every thought and I tried to control what I was thinking. I'd think thoughts like "I know you are watching me!" I also thought there would be protests to try and set me free, like the Truman Show.
Heidi
I believed I was a vampyre because my canine teeth were EXTREMELY pointy
Kira Pangburn
I used to believe (and still kind of do)that life was like a virtual reality game and people would wake me up from it in the real world. If I put it back on though I wouldn't remember it.
Zoe
