The medieval imagination was based mainly on religious beliefs. They were very prepared for things they tought might happen. Their mind was set to always be prepared and they questioned things they weren't sure would even happen. For example, they debated weather or not they should preach to a dog head if they every saw one. It had a human soul so they weren't sure if they should preach to it. They never saw this and it was pretty unlikely that they ever would but they wanted to be prepared. They believed the world was going to end and wanted to be as prepared as possible for when it does. Today we find some of these things crazy but it is the way their minds and imaginations worked and what they thought.
