    It’s kinda strange for me, because my brain defaults to no imagery, mostly just concepts and text, and a bunch of internal monologues. But if I push it I can come up with some fairly vivid images, especially if it’s of something I’ve seen before. I’m fairly great at remembering places from my dreams, even if I can’t remember what those dreams were about.

    • That’s mostly how I am, too. If I was to think about an apple, it’s kind of like an encyclopedia page in my head. I see an apple, though the image is foggy, but I see clear text spelling the word and listing everything I know about what an apple is.
