Is imagination a construct of reality?
We know that our thoughts effect our everyday lives, but how is our current state of existence effected by the imagination of our ancestors? My feelings are that all we know exists as a result of someone's fantasy...loosely stated. All we can imagine today has the potential to exist in the future. Do we manifest products of our imagination by the moment without realizing it?etc..
You are right Voodoid, I think my use of "construct" in this question is actually out of context entirely... maybe "Is imagination a (or the) foundation for all we perceive to be reality?" blahblah

Actually, I think you have it backwards. Reality is a construct of imagination. Of course, we can't say that our reality is entirely in our imagination (I'm pretty sure I'm REALLY sitting in this chair at work at the moment), but a good deal of our reality comes from imagination.
Computers, satellites, cars, even mud bricks had to be imagined before they existed.

That was definatley deeper than a puddle. I would freak out if I had the opportunity to see the world 50 years after my death. Just like my grandmother would freak out seeing it now.

I don't subscribe to reality, because reality has a liberal bias.
