As for me, I sang songs in my head to the rhythm of the defilement of the discotine lines on the freeway.

I think it's really interesting that everyone seems to have had either a humanoid running along side the car or something aiming from their eyes that can cut/smash only certain types of things. I wonder what makes it happen.

Close, but not quite the same. I used my fingers as the imaginary runner, leaping from thing to thing, riding wires, etc.

I loved sonic riders, so instead of the Lil dude doing parkour, he had a hoverboard to do sick tricks Sometimes the Lil dude was tony hawks

My childhood had some guy surfing on the power lines.

hell yes! I'm my case, I rode a dirt bike just next to the highway jumping overpasses, dodging trees and whatever else I needed to do to keep pace with the car without crashing

I had a blade extending from my hand and cut down everything we passed like telephone poles and trees and mailboxes but I couldn't let it touch metal so I had to angle my hand up if we passed anything like that.

I always imagined a ninja doing flips and shit.

I only see my imaginary friend when I take too much Benadryl

I don't recall imagining a particular character, just a humanoid figure running alongside and jumping over/dodging stuff.

Apparently this is one of those things that nobody ever talks about, but a lot of people did.

Mine was a cool skateboard dude who did the most amazing grinds and flips

I would imagine a BMX bike in tow. Using bridge embankments to clear roads... 😎

Sonic the Hedgehog.

I got that Sonic Autism

No, all of ya'll are crazy. The dot of dirt on the window was the aiming device for a laser, and you had to use it to cut all the electrical wires without cutting trees or the poles, because those are wood and it would start a fire.

I always wanted to go here:

Just follow them on and on until I reached some presumably paradisaical location.

Nah, it was my imaginary friend doing bmx tricks, we didn't have parkour back then.

Also, how could a person run fast enough to keep up with a motor vehicle? Sheesh, does your imagination completely ignore science? You gotta have at least a bicycle to keep up.

Also, this is the first time I've ever seen or heard someone else talk about this kind of daydream. So, it's pretty fucking cool, even though the details aren't the same.

I hadn't remembered this in years, but I always imagined myself out there like the Flash and how my older brothers were in the car watching me burn it up and being super impressed. I literally might not have remembered that during my entire adult life. Thanks for reminding me. Although I was more like seven at the time.

I usually imagined either sonic the hedgehog or one of the velociraptors from jurassic park

Tony Hawk’s

What do you mean "did"!

Damn, I thought I was the only one...

Parkour wasn't a thing when I was 10, for me it was Strider running along with the car and slashing stuff.

It was Mario, represented by a dirty spot or water droplet on the window, who would be made to jump over things by moving my head up and down

Mine was an imaginary me on a dirt bike doing sick jumps

No I was imagining a rod of destruction sticking out the side of the car, and whenever it hit a building we were driving past it would annihilate the building like the juggernaut ran through it.

... isn't that what normal kids thought about?

I had a cheetah running along, occasionally a horse. But not in the city, only on the motorway

You guys got a window seat?

Nah, I just imagine the vehicles two lanes over is armed with lasers and if there's a car in between us, it deflects the laser, otherwise, I lose 1 HP.

(The clouds that look like a face are deities watching you. Trees are sentient and waving at you)

Similar thing with walking. All moving cars have lasers and parked cars shield you from the lasers.

Also, the gap in between two squares of cement on the sidewalks have lava, make sure to not step over the gap.

I had a dragon flying along side. Sometimes it's a bike dodging opposing traffic and jumping ramps

I took my Dramamine so I could read without vomiting.

I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out wtf anime that is on the top because the style looks like exactly what I'm into, and it turns out I've already seen it lmao

Bubblegum Crisis, it's rad as fuck

Reminded me of this short film (that’s clearly sponsored by the North Face) from a a few years ago. https://youtu.be/IXw17Cjbeeo

I'm an adult and I still do this lol.
