imaginers
Those who envision
Imaginers are people who imagine—those who form mental images, conceive possibilities, or envision things not present to the senses.
The word emphasizes the active, creative capacity: The great imaginers of science fiction predicted technologies decades before they existed.
It's less common than related forms like "dreamers" or "visionaries" but carries similar connotations of creative thinking.
