I think in both but more in words. I would say about 70% words 30% pictures

Depends on what I'm thinking about. If I'm thinking about something technical I will think in pictures. Otherwise I think in words.

That’s not how thinking works, thinking is an abstract concept.

Have you always had it? I'd never heard of it.

Words but I experience the words as colours. I think that we place a limited definition on the words thinking and thoughts and that everyone imagines the experience is the same for all people

I would say words, a descriptive text can be just as good as a picture and can lead to the most glorious pictures in my mind

Words and feelings.

It’s more like watching a film with images, sounds and feelings about what’s happening.

Having said that, my thoughts are worth fuck all anyway

Ok, I just had a quick looksie at it. If my eyes are closed I can't visualise anything at all, if my eyes are open I can kinda daydream but not very well. People are more like ghosts, see through ya know.

More from memory descriptions, so things I know rather than visualise.

I've tried lucid dreaming and stuff and can't so the meditation where they tell you to "imagine you're in XYZ", on a beach, climbing stairs etc. Cant do that for shit.

It varies, with most of it being subconscious and getting flashes of meaning, pictures, sounds and words. If I develop my thoughts, I'll usually have some outline visual concepts. When I get emotional elements, it adds further meaning.

I read an article where a guy had a heart operation and lost the ability to think in pictures. His may be the case that made them discover it.

Great question OP! One of those things people never talk about. But it's interesting.

I often think visually as well as in words. It depends. When I’m writing for work it is often in words unless Im doing something creatively then I’ll put words to the pictures. When I’m writing poetry I use visual imagery and cues to.create the idea and then words to create the prose and rhymes.

I store a lot of my memories physically and therefore need to move whenever I’m presenting so that my memories and speech flow. So sometimes movement creates my thoughts.
