Fictional characters talk in my head all the time, but... that's really just pieces of me talking to myself. Real people, I couldn't possibly speak for them.

I know that a lot of people do the thing with fictional characters too. For me, it takes an epic amount of work to "hear" them -- I have much better luck with just sitting down and typing, or acting it out -- it's clear to me that I'm performing the action and not just "listening". Which is sad, because that sounds AWESOME.

I do the acting out thing too, when I'm writing, to see if what I think a character is saying makes sense and isn't over dramatic or OOC.

Every time I see a fic, or movie or anything in which a character says: "I'm going to kiss you now" I cringe and want to gag! That's not how it works! Unless you're going for a laugh (which I've seen work in fic, but that's due to the awareness thing).

I certainly do (both flesh and blood people of my acquaintance, and people I've never met, as well as fictional people), which can definitely be awkward at times (when I'm internally conversing a bit too intensely), but keeps my character-writing muscles limber, to be sure.

I still haven't seen Inception, so I haven't got much context to go by in terms of how my answers fit, per se. Just to clarify, though, the times that I do believe I get genuine answers are fairly rare and often unasked-for. So, uh, don't go thinking I spend a lot of time asking dead relatives for recipes or anything.
