imagination, fancy, fantasy
These nouns refer to the power of the mind to form images,
especially of what is not present to the senses.
Imagination is the most broadly applicable:
"In the world of words, the imagination is one of the
forces of nature" (Wallace Stevens).
Fancy especially suggests mental invention that is whimsical,
capricious, or playful and that is characteristically well
removed from reality:
"All power of fancy over reason is a degree of insanity"
(Samuel Johnson).
Fantasy is applied principally to elaborate or extravagant
fancy as a product of the imagination given free rein:
"The poet is in command of his fantasy, while it is exactly
the mark of the neurotic that he is possessed by his fantasy"
(Lionel Trilling).
