'''Imagination''' is the faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses, and the action or process of forming such images or concepts. It helps provide [[meaning]] to [[experience]] and understanding to [[knowledge]]; it is a fundamental facility through which people make sense of the world, and it also plays a key role in the [[learning]] process. A basic training for imagination is the listening to [[storytelling]] ([[narrative]]),(see [[Northrup Frye]]) in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to 'evoke worlds'.

Imagination is the faculty through which we encounter everything. The things that we touch, see and hear coalesce into a "picture" via our imagination. The way we understand things... the way that we 'make sense' of things is through our imagination. The ability to problem-solve... to see things from a different perspective... to empathize... all happen because we have this technicolor, multi-channel, curious imagination.
