2 year old talking to invisible people & referring to themselves in 3rd person

My 2 year old talks to herself alot & refers to herself in 3rd person & has conversations with herself and invible people.
Is this normal?
She will say "Emma dont touch my arm" talking about herself
She also has conversations like shes talking to someone but noones there its kind of concerning.
If you ask her who shes talking to she gets upset & cries & says no no no, dont talk to me.
Is this normal? my 4 year old never behaved this way at that age

A young child's inner life. We are too old to remember ours. It is quite wonderful really.

Just from what you have said, it sounds like she has a vivid imagination.  That's a good thing!  But if you think this is more extreme, you could run the question by your pediatrician.
