Wow... you just made me realise how weird it is that I can picture things in my brain! I never even thought about that before, that not everyone can do it. Insightful.

Yes and it's how people say about movies adapted from books that certain actors are exactly as they imagined and others aren't at all.

​

Yes, and I can change the colour and patterns at will. But I wonder if the initial way you see the cat is a reflection on you and your personality... e.g. when I read that, I imagined a white cat with a grey diamond on its forehead. It's sitting down on the porch.

​

This is really weird to think about to be honest! I never thought about this ability. How am i visualising something while my eyes are open?

Are your dreams visual? If not, what do you dream?

How are you with directions, like driving a car, without GPS? Does it take a while for you to remember, for example, the route to a new work-place? Or if you visit somewhere you went a lot when you were younger but haven't been there in a long time? For example if I went to the road my grandparents used to live on, I would recognise it and it would spark a lot of memories... but I haven't been there in 15 years or more.

Or for me, when I went to San Francisco I saw loads of places I recognised from playing GTA... would you get the same feeling of recognition?
