So I think the general definition of "meditation" is wrong.

For me, allowing my body to relax means also allowing my mind to run free - one can not be achieved without the other.

Imagination isn't really the word to describe it. You're not letting it run free. You're letting your mind work in any and every direction it may seek. Be it on a problem at work, or possible scenarios of an interaction you dream up.

The magic is in the calm that allows your mind to expand. Don't still your mind.

Earlier this year, I became aware of STANDARD EBOOKS, a donation-dependent group of edtiors and layout experts who have been doing the amazing work of taking out-of-copyright books, turning them into top-quality ebooks, and then releasing them for free.

Some of the books they've done are in the Internet Archive here:

They're seeking 75 patrons in December to keep themselves afloat, consider donating to this amazing cause.

In 1933, Nazis led torchlit mob into the square and looted the library of the adjoining -Universitat. 40,000 people cheered as they burned over 20,000 books by mainly Jewish, communist, liberal and social-critical authors. Many years later, a panel of glass was set into the ground to mark the spot. It’s a window. Leaning over you can look into a room below. The room is white, lined from floor to ceiling with plain shelves—an empty library. The sort of world we’d live in if the fanatics had won.
