As long as you know you have an excellent imagination and that it is you creating the character (think Jim Henson and the Muppets :-) it is a great use of creativity and imagination, I think. |
When I come upon a question about intrusive thoughts related to OCD or obsessive thinking - I tell them to imagine the thoughts are coming from a nasty little troll on their shoulder. The more they pay attention to the troll the more thoughts he throws and if you ignore/don't make a big deal...he'll fade away.
