Is it normal that i often stay up late talking to an imaginary friend?

I often stay up late having conversations to a person that is not there (even talking out loud). Or when I'm somewhere alone I imagine he is there and talk to him in my head. It are the most interesting conversations I have, also because I can be completely honest and say things I would never dare to say to anyone else.
But the weirdest part is that this person is not completely imaginary, but does exist. It is the best friend of my brother, but when he is around in real life, in my house, I don't dare to say anything, besides hello. Is this normal?

    Children have imaginary friends; adults have imaginary friendships.

    I think u just want to be his friend too. But he is better to talk with only in your head where u can tell everything to him :)

    Don't feel bad, its not that odd, nor uncommon.

    I do something similar. Normal in my book.

    I'll sometimes do sort of the same thing, but don't really stay up late. If I get bored I'll pretend I am having a conversation with a friend on the phone to discuss with them my day. Or I'll pretend I'm in school to play out certain conversations and events. Sometimes I find this stuff helps me fall asleep and take stress away. Try to do it without talking out loud and you may find you fall asleep faster.
