To answer your specific question, "can we imagine", although I understand you posed it rhetorically: it appears we cannot.

"[He] is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power..." Ephesians 3:20
Hugh Ross has two sons. When they were young he and Kathy, extrapolating on this verse, encouraged them at each meal to expand their imaginations by thinking up new features of heaven. They had a two-story home and a backyard pool, so one of them imagined that in heaven every second-story window has its own slide into the pool.

There are numerous reasons why God leaves us on earth for an extended period, more or less, after our salvation moment. One is to grow our faith through experiences (thereby gaining heavenly blessings) and, as a corollary, to expand our imagination.
