I think the best way I found recently to rid myself of that "wandering imagination", is a test of will power. If I'm walking down the street alone at 1:40 a.m and see something in a bush that could be something else... possibly a dangerous animal or maybe worse, I walk strait up to it and look whatever object it is right in the face. The first few times I did it I was a little nervous, in a freaked out kind of way, but it does put me at ease afterwards, and builds my resolve. Hopefully I'll be able to tell the difference between an imaginatory threat and a real one...

So if you ever see some guy, at night, walk up to a bush and stare at it, go ahead and say hi.
