      Whenever I'm reading a book or watching a movie, I'm there in my imagination, usually as a small (6-ish feet long) dragon talking to the characters, urging them to do what I want, flaming or growling at their enemies, etc. Reminds me of the role my spirit guide/daemon/soulbond/imaginary friend/whatever-the-hell-he-is, Phantos, plays in my life. Except that I directly talk to Phantos, whereas the characters never really notice me.
