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.

Are you able to imagine the sound of a train horn? If so, you’re not hearing it with your ears but you’re hearing it “in your head”, right? Mental images work the same way for me. I see it in my head, not with my eyes.
I see things very vividly. It’s like looking at a photo or watching a movie.
