This is the closest we've ever been -- please take action to support!!

One type of #overexcitability as defined by Dabrowski is imaginational. Imaginational individuals may confuse reality and fiction because their memories and new ideas become blended in their mind. In children, this can mean imaginary friends or very vivid dreams.
@danacangemi I love this idea! I've thought about doing something similar. Even just popsicles or something (while it's warm out--now it's too late, until spring).
