ever drive by houses and try to imaging what the insides look like - how it's laid out, how it's decorated?

A couple years back while driving out in suburban Maine, I was doing that and it was pretty cool. The images coming into my head were pretty diverse so I suspect that the exercise was a success. You know, if I was trying to work out my brain which I really wasn't. I was just trying to imagine was it was like to live in these big 3,000+ square foot houses.

Yeah, I've tried imagining the inside of houses before.. except it's kind of hard to do like it's hard for me to imagine all the rooms instead I just see one open area. :lol:

I've done this befora as well. What can be surprising is seeing a house that is completely shabby and run down on the outside and quite nice and completely unshabby on the inside.

Altohugh it isn't exactly the same as what you're saying, I sometimes I'll go for imaginary walks inside buildings I've been in before, sort of like a test of how much I remember of being in a building. Places like libraries and stuff.

Yup, I do this whenever my mind isn't preoccupied. :)

I also do it with furniture and objects once I'm in someones house, by drawing and rendering the parts of things I can't see in my head, and from there I rotate and position them where they should be based on how, where and when I move. But like before, I only do that when there's not something else I should be paying attention to. Otherwise, if I try to multitask between that and say... talking, I'd end up bumping into stuff and accidentally break something. :oops:

The best time to explore is when its dark in the evenings. Then you can actually see clear whats inside peoples houses. I could find it amusing to do if "coming across" but I would never waste my time with it only for this purpose.
Thats the reason why I always cover my windows as soon as it gets dark because I dont like the idea others is able to see whats inside my home...
