"Imagination often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere."- Carl Sagan.
Imagination rules the world and it has a way to make even the most knowledgeable worthless when they dismiss it based on the inability to enjoy that ride into a world that may never exist. When you set out on an imaginative journey, you will be able to get into world's that never were; worlds that only exists in a crazy man's head and with no bearing on life's happening.
You will find out that, imagination mostly doesn't always work as much as we would expect it to be because, it leaves us tied into some very lazy frame of mind as can be seen from the other side. People who dwell on imaginations are often seen as lazy and a bunch of failures. They are never allowed to express themselves because, their style mostly may not get them anywhere. There minds constantly strays into another world farther from where they stand.

Keeping in tune to the beats and dances of imagination has a familiar trace to what never seems to be real and what may never appear to happen no matter how well we wish for them. Knowledge is key and it makes us become more superior and better than our peers, but imagination rules the world and only those who spend their time digging in can make something of the place the stand.
Do you know that, the various innovations that has redefined the way we communicate, relate and operate are products of imagination taken far? The moment someone start talking out their imagination, they will lend it a voice to speak louder than the one planning to drown it. You must be crazy enough to believe that, the worlds that seem like they will never exist actually can. The moon, mars, electric trains and cars, self driving cars etc are all stuffs that were never supposed to happen.
Superman, Batman, Hulk, Avatar, Spiderman, Black Panther, Avengers, Ironman, Beauty and the Beast, Social Media, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency etc are figments of someone's imagination brought to live and, they all have gone on to become a part of our lives.
There is not better way to escape the present than through imagination and, there also is no better way to fail than not being able to posses an imaginative mind.
Make the world a better place for someone today!
Indeed, we need imagination to exercise dominion. Without imagination life will not be complete. I agree with you @ejemai.
