I know some people visualize music or sensations, I had that discussion here awhile ago, so I'd love to hear how different people perceive things.
Do you visualize music? If so, how?
How about theories or people? Do these things appear in your mind differently from how they appear in real life?
I'm just curious. I do this sort of thing often which makes it difficult to explain things to friends. I'll try to explain a feeling or my opinion on something and I struggle because I'd never translated it into words; rather, it had only ever existed as an image or a feeling.
For example, a friend of mine had asked me if I was alright as I'd been acting strange during the past week. I had visualized how I'd been feeling during that week and it was a chunky green straight line that sometimes faltered a little. Above it was a slightly transparent pale blue thin line that jumped up and down in spikes.
Basically, the green line was how I was deeply feeling(Indifference) and the blue one was how I appeared to feel. I may have felt really excited, or frustrated at points but they never really progressed to the green line.
As for other examples, if I ever imagine I'm in space (for whatever reason, usualy when working through astro physics questions) I picture it as if it were filled with a haze that was so transparent that the only reason you see the sky as black is because there's so much of it that it appears opaque in the distance. It isn't just a flat black though, it's like gasoliene, except it falters from clear to transparent black.
It feels like a cold, empty vacuum though.
