I kinda found what I wrote here really interesting. So please read all of it and tell me what you think. I added spoiler tags to help brake it up.

The imagination is a special place. It harvests our thoughts and can turn them into reality. The imagination can also be a strange place. It's where our dream flicker like a movie theater in our mind. But not many take the time to stop and think about our imagination alone. If you look at the imagination it can be broken up into THREE wonder yet strange sectors. But two of them have to be unlocked by those who are willing to open there mind and see the beauty of the world that is imagination.........

Welcome to sector 1 of you imagination. Here access to the sector is allowed 24/7. You unlock this sector immediately as you are born. Here sector 1 help with everything. Help make and finish projects for school, how to walk, talk, eat sleep, everything that you need to stay in this world. So as you can see sector 1 is everything. It's your heart, your brain, your kidneys. Without sector 1 in your life would end as short as you can here.

So with sector 1 comes branches these branches help separate reality and the fantasy that is your imagination. If they are to get mixed up you will view life in a whole new prospective. But no one will ever take you very seriously.

So the main conclusion of sector 1 is that it is your brain. It controls everything, looks at everything, puts your whole life on a spread sheet. yet it can get very mixed up if alienated enough. So without this life would not exist.

sector 2 it can be a tough sector to gain access to. But not everyone can fully access this sector. Sector to is an extension of sector 1's fantasy branch. You see as you get older and your imagination grows larger you'll eventually take everything to the next step. When you take everything to the next step that's usually a job. But it can be any job. It has to be a job that will take every ounce of you imagination to get your job done.

Lets take for instance a girl no older than 15. You may catch he singing away in her bedroom to her favorite song on here iPod. Here she is picking the lock of sector 2. The reason for that is that she's using some of sector 2's imagination to help her sing. So lets say her life long dream is to become a rock star and lets say that becomes true. There she has fully accessed sector 2. She is now using sector 2 to write and sing songs for the imaginations of other people.

But now lets take a boy around the age of 17. He really wants to become an engineer. He wants to do it but procrastination keeps holding him back. But because he keep procrastinating he doesn't become an engineer. Instead of become and engineer he's working as a local walmart. Here he has not accessed sector 2 only because there's no imagination in sector 2 to be used. Only imagination from sector 1 is being used.

So as you can see not everyone can access sector 2. The way to fully access it is to take everything in your life a step further (aka follow your dreams and don't look back). Once you take everything to the next level the locks to sector 2 are unlocking and you'll be so close you can almost taste it.

Sector 3 or in another sense welcome to the twilight zone. This sector is never ending. It doesn't stop till you die. But even then it still grows. But what is it. Well some people may call it's you comfort zone. Religious people may say its a peak into heaven. Others who can truly look at this place may find it neither. Instead they might find it sector 3 or in another sense another world to behold.

Sector 3 is like a video game. All it is that it's the ultimate sandbox game. But you can only built to it for stuff that belongs to you. In other words stuff that fits to your personality. If you look at an anime show and say "Wow this is quite good I think I'll keep watching." BOOM! It is fit into sector 3. But say you try an new dish at a restaurant and you go "no I don't like this." Then it won't become part of sector 3.

So you may say that you don't have a lot of interests in the world. Well to you it might look like not much. But sector 3 knows you better than anything. Even the smallest things in the world fit into sector 3. If you like the number 4 it's in. If you like straight line it's in sector 3. If you like rough textures it's in there. Any thing in the world that you feel comfortable with then it's in.

But how do you access sector 3? Well that's the mystery that it really hard to understand. In a stance instead of you access sector 3, sector 3 might access you. The only way to get through the wall an into sector three is with the five senses. If you smell something this you really like and you space out then you just when into sector 3 or you may of downloaded that smell into sector 3. It depends if you smelled, touched, taste, heard, or scene it before. Accessing sector 3 is not really hard. But to see it you have to feel as comfortable as possible. Not noticing that there is such a thing as bad in the world.

So if you space out and you feel a feeling that you have never felt before then that is the sixth sense. In which the sixth sense is sector 3.

So lets recap. Without sector 1 you can never live. Sector 1 is the part that controls your whole body. Sector 2 is when you take your life and your imagination to the next step. Lastly sector 3 is a world to behold and can be only access by total comfort in your mind. So without these three sectors in your mind there would be no life. There would be know knowledge. There would be no "you." But with all of these three sectors they combine into the worlds greatest thing and that is your imagination.

For some reason I kept hearing that song from the original Willy Wonka movie. Aside from that I like this, it's well written and quite an interesting look at how our minds work. Kudos.

So, Sector 3 is meditation, being spaced out, just that thought wandering process inside your head before you sleep. Sector 2 is our deepest and fulfilled desires. Sector 1 is our everyday thoughts. I can get into every one, though Sector 3 is always just a ten second blip before I'm asleep.

to a point yep! But sector 3 can be access in any part of the day which makes it the most strangest sector.

good I’m using all 3 sectors and more.
now what ?
....................... live life?...................
but isn’t life meaningless so what is the point in it?

ohh their I go.........
The point of life is just to live it. Y'know? We have free will. We can do what we want, when we want, everyday. Laws can't stop me from stealing. Laws tell us not to steal, but they don't make me physically unable to steal. We, as thinking, living, breathing humans, can do absolutely anything, except that which is impossible. The point of life is to take it for granted. It's the only one you got, so make it last.

Yeah, sometimes I space out in the middle of the day, or go into deep thought that kind of tries to nudge me into Sector 3, but it's mostly a very short thing, and most frequently before I go to sleep.

Ok, English may or may not be your first language, but this 'imagination-tour' is mangled enough that it begins to impair my ability to read it.

Having said that, it is an interesting idea of layers of imagination, though I can't really see how it all connects. Sector 3 just sounds like a daydream, which means it's hardly a locked room that only few people explore. Sector 2 doesn't really sound like a sector at all. If Sector 1 is your brain, then surely sector 2 is just part of your brain, and by extension of your logic, the part that begins to lose grip with reality, but must be grounded in reality as it furthers your more egotistical desires.

As my own mangled sentence can tell, I am having difficulty getting to grips with this I must admit, on a logical level as well as a conceptual level (how can you not tell if there are more unlocked areas, and how can you generalise such a personal experience to the whole population?)

Op, i like how you broke that big wall of text down into more readable chunks.

Just to check my understanding, your saying that imagination can be divided into-
Sector 1- Your immeditate, present imagination of "wordly" things. Like imagining you would be in trouble with a teacher if you fail to hand your homework in on time.

Sector 2- "higher order" imagination where we use imagination to overcome "lower order" desires like sex and aim for higher ambitons such as the arts and sciences.

Sector 3- Now this confuses me- do you mean that this is where imagination "stores" experences and thus, is the source of imagination?

To me, the source of imagination comes from the un-conscious mind. Which holds our biological and evelutionary or deeply rooted cognitive thoughts and beliefs- and this exerts an influense on what appears in our imaginations, shown before our conscious minds. The conscious mind can delve into the sub-conscious mind if it wishes, as this is a half-way point between the conscious and unconscious mind. Understanding the sub-conscious mind could then reveal clues as to what happens in the unconscious mind.

I see your 1st & 3rd sectors being compatable with my rather freudian model of the mind- your second one... hmm- "higher order" desires could be renamed ambitions- and ambitions stem from the unconscious mind, as does "lower order" desires like sex and violence. I don't see them being that different from each other.

sector 3 is a comfort zone. If you enter it your body will go numb most of the time. That's when your in a state of peace and comfort. But experience is added to sector 3 is make up this world. Sector 2 is yeah kind like a "higher order" in a sense.

No, Sector three is a place where everything you love is. Anything you've felt, smelt, heard, tasted, or seen that you've liked is there.

I never thought of it like that, but have you ever been lying in your bed, trying to sleep, and then you just have a wandering mind? You aren't even thinking, your mind is thinking for you. You aren't actually thinking in words, you are seeing many images that express what the wandering mind is creating.

When you begin to think in words again, Sector 3, a meditative state, dies. Meditation is something I do everyday, in Sector 3, before I sleep. Meditation and Sector 3 are one in the same, and both are very close to just dreaming and sleeping. Dreaming is something that may reflect the day, your friends, or anything you love. dreaming is Sector 1 and 3. It's 1 because you are thinking in words, and 3 because the Dream World isn't of your creation, it's something the mind made, and the mind makes Sector 3. Dreaming may be the subconscious makes for us, for pleasure, or to tell us something. So, in a way, when you think while asleep, in a dream, you are in a sort of imperfect Sector 3.

Perfect Sector 3, for me, is when I'm spaced out, wandering, and "Takin' a trip without leaving the house." as my Grandpa used to say.

Oh, and being drunk or high may get you a one way ticket to Sector 3. So it would seem.

WOW you totally said that better than I did. Congrats! :D looks like we got another person in the building that understands most of the imagination. Also being drunk or high would just send you to a branch of sector 3 which is a f*cked up zone (like alice in wonderland)
