Humans cannot imagine. Yes humans cannot imagine things, that they haven’t seen or heard about before. We need an inspiration for everything. We need something to associate with. Fantasies are partially based upon real things. An example from nature or divine intervention; it depends on your belief, is always required to imagine. There has been plenty of controversies, where most argue over the power of human imagination. For most of such issues, the one explanation given is; it’s beyond the power of human imagination. This per se is quite confusing.
Power and ability are two different things. Being able to do something is not as the same as having the power to do something. Human power, being a measurable thing has to have an end. Ability cannot be measured. You are able to imagine limits, and beyond limits, providing you have something to associate with. But the power, as insane as it may sound, to imagine things without a basic picture - does not exist. It’s like you can fantasize swimming in an ocean, because you know what an ocean and swimming is. Even if you can’t swim or never seen an ocean before. But you cannot ‘think to imagine’ an ocean if there is no such thing as ocean.
The bottom-line is that there is no such thing as ‘creative imagination’. You can cross link ideas, think about patterns, you can be innovative. Which makes it very simple to understand that there is no such thing called ‘creativity‘this needs to be realized. The whole idea of creating something out of nothing is, sadly, a waste of time. Even if you accelerate particles and collide them and make something out of it, it’s not creating, you already had those particles. So if you’re thinking about doing something creative, you’re just wasting your time. Try to discover, innovate and delve. That is what has brought mankind here. The ‘just another’ creature taking control of the whole planet. So think, and stop trying to be creative and just try to do what we’re best at doing; digging things.
