Abstract: Essay attempts to demonstrate relevance of imagination in the frame of creative ways of thinking, which more than others utilize its fruitful connection with conceptual aspect of imagination. After a brief introductory outline of thought and language relationship, more detailed inquiry of general presuppositions and features of creativity, via analysis of its partial definition as vision, imaginability and fantasy, follows. On the ground of balance between its imaginative and conceptual aspects, creativity further presented as interconnected with thought by creative thinking, that is introduced through its particular manifestations: associative thinking, analogical and metaphorical thinking. Virtually unlimited source of a new and creative approach to reality reveals in fantasy imagination, which interconnect imaginative with conceptual aspect and thus make accesible semantical structures of language, and it is the case of ways of creative thinking cited above .
