For example let’s say I’m daydreaming about a car, I can now see a detailed ‘video’ of the car driving and doing whatever I want it to. Obviously I’m not seeing this with my eyes, so where am I seeing it?

I saw a Vsauce mind field video about this (I want to say it was the one about mind reading but I could be wrong) and he said the image we make in our minds aren’t detailed at all, it’s just what our mind can spit out and we accept it as true. The example he used was “think of an elephant, now think of a pink elephant…” and so on, and with each question it got more and more clear, so if you think of a car, you won’t think about a color until someone (or yourself) ask you about it, then the tires and the type of rims, then the tint, or the scene behind the car (is it on a mountain? Is it sunset? the brain is amazing!
