Reflexive verbs

In the examples "Je me les lave tous les jours" and "Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus", why are laver and imaginer reflexive when we are not doing something to ourselves?

Bonjour Geoff,

There is no reference to a lesson or the origin of the two sentences.

"Je me les lave tous les jours"  --> I alone (without assistance) wash them every day.

"Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus" --> We (in our minds) imagine her blonde with blue eyes.

Does this help?

Bonne journée

Jim
