There is a long history of imaginative map creation in our world - starting as early as the days of the great explorers like Columbus & Co. who put large bodies of land on maps that weren't actually there to modern day maps of space and the cosmos - embellished with colours and textures. The imaginative tradition continues as people make maps of love, success, the mind, and all sorts of human experience. Add your own link to an imaginative map on the web.

I really enjoy looking at this picture, although I always thought my own imagination was way less organized, and way more twisted and mingled. I know what's missing: memory. We reconstruct our memories all the time to a point where they become very personal (and very disorted) constructs of our minds. Daniel Schacter's the reference in the field of distorted memory.
