I used to do the same thing when I was younger, I had one of those cardboard stand people of Deanna Troi from Star Trek Next Generation, and I used to pretend I was talking to her as I went to sleep. For me, it's always been about sorting out my rational thoughts from my emotions, and figuring out which should rule in a given situation. It's why I'm currently debating if some sort of psychologist might help with some issues I've been having that I'm hesitant to inflict on my usual support system because I want a more outside view.
