How does imagination lend meaning to our lives and experiences?

Imagination and reality lends meaning to our lives and experiences in many ways. They are a mixture in our lives. We can see this in two specific Twilight Zone episodes, Walking Distance and the Lonely. In these two episodes we see how imagination plays with their reality and they end up not knowing the difference of it. In Walking Distance (episode 5) we can see the combination of the two worlds the past and the future. It is easily viewed that the imagination can play games with our mind, in this occasion we see that not being able to move on from those memories and the past made him to believe that they were real. Memories are not real; most of the time, we tend to mix them in a way that we don’t remember them to well, they become part of our creativity and imagination. When deciding to look at the past experiences we can affect the ones in the present and the future. The Lonely (episode 7) was the mixture of what is real and what isn’t? Corey’s imagination saves him from going in sane. His attachment with Alysha (the robot) was because he had lack contact with everyone due to where he was. His obsession for this person develops because she has been his only company but when proven wrong his acceptance is quick. This shows us that illusions are not always true or real. The lonely was a mixture of illusion and real. These illusions can damage our thinking and the way we see things in our experiences. Comparing this to our life is not hard because it happens when we day-dream and even just look at old pictures. It happens when we believe things in order for us to deny reality and what’s happening at the specific moment.
