When my dog brings me a ball, drops it in front of me, pushes it towards me with his nose, and stares at it, I'm pretty sure he imagining me throwing it.
When I pick the ball up and he gets in a "ready to chase" posture, or alternatively runs to the other side of the room in preparation for catching it, I know he's imagining me throwing it.
