: Re: How should I go about introducing character as a long forgotten friend? I am having the main protagonist find their imaginary friend that they had previously forgotten. How would I make some

If you want to do the flashbacks, make sure the reader knows that it is a flashback. I would do this with a line of a few asterisks and then begin flashback and end the same way, this way it has a very clear end and beginning of the flashback.
I wouldn't do really short flashbacks this way, in which case you should say something along the lines of 'Bob suddenly remembered X, the images flashing in front of his eyes. (insert remembered thing here)'.
The book 'The Last Thing I Remember' by Andrew Klavan does these flashbacks really well and might be worth a look.
