Most children have the ability to see beyond physical reality, especially in infancy. It all goes to conscious awareness at different ages and stages of development.
It's interesting to watch an infant's eyes as they follow something/someone in the room that is not physically seen by anyone else. Infants often laugh and respond to whatever they are seeing which may be the spirit of the person who guided their soul into physical reality and is familiar.
Young children often have imaginary play friends, especially when there is no one around to physically play with. These 'imaginary friends' actually communicate with the child. Generally the imaginary friend/friends are harmless and the interaction ends as they child's physical consciousness slows down and gradually creates a pattern of returning to the physical body and staying at a lower level of frequency in order to function/perform their daily tasks in 3D. The older you get, the more grounded you have to be.
If the young child, generally below the age of 5, is having fun with the imaginary friend they are attracting, then things are positive. If the child is apprehensive or displays fear, professional help may be needed for the child.
/Crystalinks/Archives/Archives 2006/inheritance.html Children generally love animals as the frequency of animals is generally not about 3D dramas, but about love and compassion. Pets can enhance positive emotions in children, especially at age 12-14, at puberty when anger rages and children lash out. Many children in this age group say they want to grow up and be veterinarians. Pets often bring, or teach children about, unconditional love no matter what the circumstances. They can be a survival mechanism for an emotionally challenged child.
At the end of the day in 2006 ... don't many people have imagery friend they talk to, who go by different names ... God, Ascended Masters, Spirit Guides, Angels, other?

When imaginary friends turn nasty
Dr Louise Newman, a child psychiatrist and the director of the New South Wales Institute of Psychiatry, says the study confirms what has long been suspected. But she says further research needs to look at the psychological and emotional function of imaginary friends. Newman says while some imaginary friends function as sort of "super peers" or the "perfect playmate" they can also be a sign of emotional disturbance. "There are some cases in which children have those companions because they might be lonely, distressed or unable to put into words things that are concerning them," she says. "Some friends ... can be quite persecutory or frightening, they might torment the child, or express doubts, tell them they're stupid or bad." Newman says while imaginary friends are quite common in younger ages, they are more likely to be associated with emotional or family problems in children over the age of about seven.
Adults with imaginary friends
Most children grow out of imaginary friends, Newman says. But in some cases an imaginary friend can emerge in adulthood, usually in response to trauma, inability to cope with stress and sometimes psychotic illness. In rare cases some adults develop what's known as Doppelganger syndrome, which occurs when they believe a twin or invisible friend accompanies them. Other people believe in angels and guardian angels, and they don't think there's anything out of the ordinary about that, she says. Bouldin says her study suggests children with imaginary friends can readily access fantasy themes and may develop sophisticated information processing skills. But she says it could also be that children with imaginary friends are simply more willing to discuss their fantasies than those without.
