I ask members - Can you close your eyes, think of something you have seen, and bring up a mental image? Do you have a "photograph in your head"? My understanding is that various people can do this, at least to some degree. I can not. I just have a dark screen.
So, what's in your "minds eye"?
There are dreams that I had at very young ages...7?...which I remember certain images contained within to this day. One time in kindergarden I dreamed that I was superman and had a suit and a cape. I remember a part of the dream where I bent a pole in our kitchen at home. I can visualize how our kitchen looked back then..to this day! I can also incorporate the dream memory visual into the context. Funny, though...I may have had a wild and equally visual dream just last night or last week and can't for the life of me recall the scenes or the details! I know that you are not just talking about dreams...so in response to the question of whether I can visualize places, faces, and spaces, I can do so as well.
As a side topic, I wonder if video games stimulate youthful imaginations or stifle them by filling in the blanks best left to the imagination?
