Can you picture memories in your mind?


Like, close my eyes and actually see them? No. But I can remember extreme levels of detail.

When I was 10, we were on a family vacation in Florida. We were playing truth or dare by the pool one night and my step brother had to do some stupid dance on the diving board while singing a song. A guy walked through while my brother was doing this, walked up to him and punched him in the face. He then walked up to our table, stared at us without saying anything and walked away.

He has very light, blond curly hair and eyes the palest shade of blue I’ve ever seen. I remember exactly what he looked like, what he was wearing and can *almost* close my eyes and see his eyes bc the memory is so vivid in my mind. But I can’t actually see them. I could provide enough detail for a sketch artist to do a detailed drawing though after all these years.

Weird that you can remember the detail but can't see the image. I can essentially just see the images that I've seen before. Now, it's obviously not as clear as if I was looking at it in front of me, but I can see the images, though sometimes they are fleeting.

ETA: it's essentially as clear as it would be in a dream
