When someone is imagining an event, how can they see the event even though they’re not experiencing it? How can they see what they imagine even if it’s not real?

There are parts of your brain that “see” and parts that “identify”. This is a ridiculous oversimplification but it can be used to expose a mechanism. We have learned that the “identify” can change independently of “see” (and millions of other variables).
Now, the part of the brain that “imagines” is basically a predictive program. This part of your brain can run simulations using the software on other areas. (God this analogy is starting to suffer) but, your brain usually knows the difference between what it is simulating and what is actually happening.
Some people completely forget the difference between the two and they are either embraced for their genius and become famous, or they are ugly and become homeless.
