Thinking about yourself-your desires for the day, your daily diversions. Are you thinking about what to make for dinner and how it will taste and what it will look like and if you have all the ingredients, and if not, which stores to go to and where and why? Are you thinking of friends? Are you thinking of a conversation you’re going to have with a friend? Are you mentally acting out the conversation and exploring ways the conversation could go just so you’re prepared for contingencies? Are you thinking about your place in the universe? Are you planning things for the weekend? Are you analyzing your personality?
Yes.
As for the rest, I think my reaction's better suited to a post...
I cannot picture things at all. If I try I get really hung up on details and can only focus on one at a time. Like if I try to picture an orange, I can get the idea of a orange sphere, but then I think, they aren't perfect spheres, and I lose the color, or if I think about the bumps I lose the shape definition. Words are just fine. I think my sister can picture things, but just not faces.
LOL! I can just imagine you thought-speaking: "But it's NOT a perfect sphere!" :P
It's interesting that she can't picture faces...I can picture the faces of people in real life, but when I imagine my characters, I can only conjure a picture of what they would MOSTLY look like, but not their definite facial features. I have to composite them with RL people and then pick and choose which features I want to keep to make them look how I want, and even then...they're mostly fuzzy and I just content myself with knowing that even though I can't picture them exactly, I know they'd look badass, lol.
I have mini movies going on in my head all the time. Visuals, dialogue, sometimes with physical sensations like wind on skin, prickling sweat, that sort of thing. I have no idea what it would be like to not be able to visualize all the time. If there's something I can't visualize, it ends up being a really hard concept for me to grasp.
