Is it still visual? If yes, how does one without the ability to visualize in their heads, visualize during the REM state?

I think I have some vague images in my dream but it’s really just about how I feel and a story line.
The images I get are very rough blurry shapes with colours. I remember my dreams in great details though!
I probably don’t have proper aphantasia because I developed the ability to kind of “see” a little bit of shapes in my mid 20s but they are actually blurry and require me a lot of effort (and are followed by a headache).
I do feel colours though. I can’t really explain it but I feel colours rather than seeing them. If I want to see them, it’s the same as above, I can only do it a little bit and it’s hurting my head.
Fun facts, I have synesthesia so I feel colours with words and I also don’t have an inner monologue, my thoughts are abstract – unlike images though I can easily create a monologue (or music) if I want to, can even change the voice. I just don’t see the point so I usually don’t.
