I disagree. Imagination can be the starting point for all kinds of things/ideas that end up to be non fictional. Doesn't any invention start with imagination? What about hypothesis? What about thought experiments?
I think it depends on the individual and what they want to imagine, and then where they take it.

Unless you are planning on "inventing" unicorns, where are you going with this? Tell me you don't have a narwhal and a pony locked in your basement lab of horrors!
