Answer 1

I realized very recently (30-40’s) that I cannot visualize. I don’t “see” things in my mind. I can think about what things or people look like, but I can’t truly “see” them. I never realized that other people could. On the flip side, I have bizarrely vivid dreams, that I remember every detail of, including smells. My only point is that the human brain is incredible, unique, and not even close to understood at this point.
