Imagination is (1) the faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses, and (2) the action or process of forming such images or concepts1. It helps provide meaning to experience and understanding to knowledge; it is a fundamental facility through which people make sense of the world,234 and it also plays a key role in the learning process.25 A basic training for imagination is the listening to storytelling (narrative),26 in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to 'evoke worlds'.7
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. Imagination IS the ability to create perceptions. Novel perceptions. Fantastical perceptions. Hypothetical perceptions.
Imagination can also be expressed through stories such as fairy tales or fantasies. Most famous inventions or entertainment products were created from the inspiration of one's imagination.
It is accepted as the innate ability and process to invent partial or complete personal realms within the mind from elements derived from sense perceptions of the shared world.[http://bestuff.com/citation needed] The term is technically used in psychology for the process of reviving in the mind, percepts of objects formerly given in sense perception. Since this use of the term conflicts with that of ordinary language, some psychologists have preferred to describe this process as "imaging" or "imagery" or to speak of it as "reproductive" as opposed to "productive" or "constructive" imagination. Imagined images are seen with the "mind's eye".
One hypothesis for the evolution of human imagination is that it allowed conscious beings to solve problems (and hence increase an individual's fitness) by use of mental simulation.

Imagination makes the real world look so unkind…
Hmm, imagination is almost unlimited.
Well, humans are limited, so their imagination are limited too. And because we're limited, we can't imagine the things beyond our limit…
I respectfully disagree, the sky's the limit. Or, should I say the universe is the limit. The only limits we have are those that we impose upon ourselves.
The universe is the limit, therefore humans are limited.
Aren't we limited within the universe? If we pass the universe we'll be unlimited, but unfortunately we had not...Sorry, but I still think that humans are limited.
Whatever, but imagination is unlimited, or limitless.
Hmm, I don't know. From my point of view, if humans are limited, how can their imagination be unlimited?
If you go beyond the universe, the limit will be whatever is outside of that.
