I have aphantasia, a mental disorder where I lack all internal visualization. I cannot “picture” things in my mind, I think in words and numbers and such. With this, I am very curious how the mental imagery works for the rest of you. Do you see it separate from your main vision? Does it get interposed? Is it like picture in picture? I’m baffled!
TIA.

All I can put into words is, nope, it’s not interposed or picture-in-picture at all. It’s a completely different thing.
Like, imagine if you’re on the street and watching a shop window, and you hear music in your headphones. That’s the sort of separateness we’re talking about.
