Question

How do we know the difference between our imagination and our intuition?

Answer 1

it's a big difference that's why we know it's different  imagination is what you have created in your mind intuition is the thoughts or feeling that came from nowhere to remind you of something.

Answer 2

Well we don't you see people can only give you theory's and what they think or what researchers think too

Our imagination is something that is sort of like intuition but instead intuition is we sense thing

I will give you some definitions first

Imagination

The formation of a mental image of something that is neither perceived as real nor present to the senses.

The mental image so formed.

The ability or tendency to form such images.

The ability to confront and deal with reality by using the creative power of the mind; resourcefulness: handled the problems with great imagination.

A traditional or widely held belief or opinion.

Archaic.

An unrealistic idea or notion; a fancy.

A plan or scheme.

intuition

The act or faculty of knowing or sensing without the use of rational processes; immediate cognition. See synonyms at reason.

Knowledge gained by the use of this faculty; a perceptive insight.

A sense of something not evident or deducible; an impression

sort of a difference, see for yourself

Answer 3

imagination is a fantasy that you've created in your mind but intuition is a thought of feeling that jumped in to warn you of danger or remind you to avoid troubles that lies ahead so you can make a second thought before you do anything you regret.etc.

Answer 4

Intuition helps practically and imagination is mainly in art, but sometimes imaginating we open the way of the intuitive.

Answer 5

This is a good question.

Intuition isn't psychic ability, it's the practice of drawing conclusions based on a mix of past experience and current perception.  Past experience and current observation can interact with our imagination and things we imagine can seem very real, but for the most part *I* see imagination as fanciful, fantastic and not entirely in touch with reality.

Answer 6

imagination you see in your mind - is a sense of wanting/wishing

intuition you feel in your soul  - its a sense of knowing

Answer 7

imagination is what you create and intuituon is what you feel

Answer 8

Let us be simple so that everything will be simply understood. Perhaps an answer that comes from an experience.

While imagination needs a  mind to visualize any wish one would like to become or to imagine bad things, intuition is one thing that don't need our mind to participate, but you act  it out directly  without having your mind knowing it. And when somebody asks you how did you do it, you certainly say, " I don't know, it just happen without me knowing it.

Answer 9

It depends on how you define and think both of these things might work.

However, if as many psychologist and research suggest intuition is the ability to process information before you are even consciously aware of it then you can trust intuition about things you have some expertise in/knowledge of and at least suspect that things you have no knowledge about is probably just imagination.

A very good book on this subject is:
