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.

It’s somewhat like having a separate mental screen where I can see and manipulate images. It’s not overlaid on my main vision but exists in my mind. It’s like having a little mental movie screen where I can conjure and interact with images in my thoughts. Not just images as in memories, but any images or items I can think of.
