I do it all the time. ill have conversations in my mind. and sometimes i come to realizations about people or things that no one else noticed because they didn't think about it that deeply. i also play out many different scenarios for new things that i know ill have to deal with at some point and it seams to other people like Iv known what I was doing the whole time. my friends think I'm smart but i think I'm just a little bit crazy.

Perfectly normal social behavior. If you didn't, you'd be psychotic.

If you examine the content of these imagined conversations you can learn a lot about yourself. They hint at all sorts of your own insecurities. Usually they were some sort of situation in which I came off as an ideal, sanitized version of myself.
I don't know man, I think it depends on the person. I noticed myself doing it last night as I was falling asleep, and nothing I was imagining myself as saying seemed out of character or out of the bounds of every day conversation. I think I usually do this not only out of boredom, but also to solidify my own stance on different subjects that I don't often lend a lot of thought to. The 'other' person I'm explaining my beliefs to is just the inquisitive aspect of my own consciousness, and when I ask myself how I feel about this or that, I imagine how I would word my thoughts into a somewhat articulate form. I even 'argue' with myself if what I am 'saying' does not resonate with my inner intuitions, moral structures, and the like.
If we don't think about these things, how do we know what we really believe? This is just another way of contemplating our beliefs, and materializing a world view with some substance and depth, IMO.
