Is this what sets us above all other life forms on Earth? Is it the main condition that allows a species to not just survive, but go above and beyond our natural limits and prosper?

abstract thought funnily enough is an abstract concept, there is really no concrete way to analyze it across species, nor does it imply a source of its abilities. what you are looking at is memory, that is what sets us apart from all other animals and allows us to be capable of abstract thought

It has been proved that animals can dream, so they are most likely capable of abstract thinking and having imagination

Why do you think that? Like, give one or two arguments and examples supporting your thesis.

no, it is actually me
also, many humans are obese and depressed. So, it could definitely be a lot better but you guys don't really imagine much.
although, I think there is something weird about me. I would've definitely imagined a better reality so it couldn't have been me on second thought.

Get out.
Eject.
Escape From the Prison Planet.
Ejector seat ignite.
Billion people harvest on Mars.
Rebuild the remnants of the obelisk,
One mile from the pyramid.
Escape From the Planet of the Apes.
Go forth, ad infinitum.
Return the relics to the Elephant.
And Atlantis rises.

Most humans are not capable of abstract thought, so not really, no.
