Not all of us can remember them, but it's something that everyone at least remembers feeling. The memories of having imaginary friends, the basic concept, how they made us feel - that stays with us longer than anything else.
Where do they come from? The immediate answer would of course be from our own minds - they are imaginary, after all, so naturally we've just made them up ourselves to have a buddy to play with, to share secrets with, to hide with us from the monster under the bed...it's just something children come up with so they won't feel alone. A defense mechanism, of sorts.
I'd have to disagree with such an answer.
As "overactive" of imaginations children are said to have, I have to wonder sometimes where exactly some things we used to think and see originated from. Why is there a monster under just about every child's bed? What made stuffed animals so real to us?
Why - no matter how full their house may be, how little television they've seen - does every kid have a best friend only they can see?
Of course, the form such imaginary friends take is never really the same as another. Sometimes it's another child, sometimes it's a big huge dragon with rainbow scales, sometimes it's a tiny cat that can talk.
Mine was a big, perpetually filthy-looking work boot upside down atop a humanoid body.
