A while ago lirulin and I were discussing if and when we visualize while reading.
I assumed the way I did it was pretty standard: when I read theoretical texts and most non-fiction, I have nothing in the mind's eye. There are no images. When I read narratives, however, there is this running visualization of what is happening. It's not very clear, but it's still there.
lirulin however, doesn't visualize at all. Even when reading stories. Some of her dreams don't even consist of images.
I find this fascinating.
What and when do you visualize when you read, if you do it at all?
