Are what we think are Imaginations actually Imaginations?

People imagine a lot of things. Some crazy while others some seen as reasonable. But all these ideas are all from the wonderful world of creativity. Imagine yourself living in the world of the Wright brothers. You would have probably bowed to the persuasions of a lot of people who thought that the idea of man flying or having at least a flying machine which could transport them to a location of their desire is non-implementable.

I am not only discussing scientific here but I am also referring to the spiritual. Have you ever imagined the world controlled by certain being(s). I won't believe that there is any sane human being who is at least 3 years old that has not had such thoughts. Ask yourself the question: how do thoughts(ideas/ imaginations) form? Are there certain beings behind the formation of these thoughts? Or, are the explanations offered by scientists valid and factual? What if there are being determine what we imagine and therefore what we do?

I sometimes believe that certain imaginations/thoughts that we have are not just imaginations. They include a lot more than that but at other times I am in a kind of atheistic mode which makes me to believe that we control whatever we do including our thoughts. But this atheistic kind of thinking does not satisfy the process of dreaming we sometimes experience while sleeping.
