    It’s not as clear as real vision, but if I close my eyes I can really “see” a visual image of the thing I’m thinking of.
    Really like a “visual hallucination” as you said, but it clearly exists in, how can I say? “Another space”?

    It doesn’t automatically translate to the muscle movements required to draw it.

      Interesting. Maybe if there’s a spectrum of ability for visualizing things, I’m just closer to aphantasia than I am to vivid mental images which rival visual perception.
