Wait. Do people actually visualize images in their mind? If so, I have no idea what’s that like.


I just assumed everyone else could build houses and shite in their minds. I used to do long division in my head by visualizing a chalk board and manually calculating it.

It's not like I shut my eyes and just see shite, it's almost like a mental echo and it's represented if that makes sense.

I dream insanely vividly and can remember the colors from items in my dreams. Usually I can tell if I'm in a dream and act accordingly.

I swear, I think we all "see" it like this, and not see a literal image of things.

There's no way people close their eyes and see anything other than black.

WOW.

I’m pretty creative but I’m known for whipping out old school paper and pencil to sketch out every idea I have so I can nail down details. The paper must come first before I move forward to do anything on a computer and everyone finds it hilarious bc it’s so old school. That’s just me trying to visually “see” so,etching to work through details that I can’t do in my own head.
