I do this since I was a child. Not only do I imagine conversations, but also all kinds of interactions, including giving speeches, playing chess, fighting, etc.

My mouth and hands will move in accordance with those imaginations.

Absolutely me too. Especially the debates and speeches. It's actually very useful. I actually talk out loud. I don't talk out load what my debater/opponent is saying, that happens in my head!

Yeah I thought I was the only one. My wife makes fun of me when she catches me doing it (usually when I don't realize she's in the room).
