Wow....I was just thinking today about how I always get imaginary conversations in my head too. I never really hear anyone bring it up, so I was wondering how many people experience this. The conversations in my head can last for a long period of time and get pretty deep lol.
I'm not sure if it is a mental health symptom for me or not. It comes randomly and automatically, but it's usually involving someone in my life: a boyfriend, an ex-boyfriend, my mother, a friend, someone who passed away....most of the time it is someone I'm close to or was close to. Every now and then it is with someone I wish I was close to (example: when I was manic, I would experience this where it involved a famous person who I was obsessed with). I wish I knew more about the cause for this. Sometimes these conversations could be helpful, but sometimes they make me feel bad when it is someone I miss or wish was there to talk to me, but they aren't there.
