Imagination

The ability to create mental ideas, images, and concepts.  Things that are imagined can be based on reality or completely made up.  Our imagination is limited to the things within our memory, which allows us to construct hypothetical situations and ideas which do not exist, but are created based off of things that were previously experienced.
