So like, I've heard about this for ages but I struggle understanding. I definitely cannot "see" anything when I close my eyes, I definitely cannot "see" anything in my mind/imagination. I can "picture" things but that picture is more or less an emotional feeling about the thing, I can imagine certain parts of it but it's more or less a conversation with myself about what I would see or experience about the thing, as if I were describing something that I'm feeling while blindfolded.
When they say visualize something in your head, do people actually see something as if they were looking at it? Else I just figured that visualizing meant more or less an analogy of how we make sense of the actual experience.
It's not as vivid as seeing it for real, or even dreaming of it. It's more akin to how you can "hear" a song that's stuck in your head.
See, now that's the funny thing. I can totally listen to music in my head, vivid enough that I even unconsciously will start to bob my head or shoulders in time. I get goosebumps the same as I would for a song that's actually playing.
Yes. Although some details might be wrong if my memory of it is lacking, i can quite literally picture an image of the thing i'm thinking of.
