Very interesting question, John:
Except I often see a picture before I find out what
the object is. Usually seeing the picture sends me
looking for the object in an encylopedia or online. I
often see even a word as a picture, sentences as a
string of words. I see pages of text almost like a
photograph. Some of my dreams have text in them so
vivid I actually can read what the text says from the
image in my mind and remember some of it when I wake
up. I also see symbols that I later find in books
(like the spoked wheel spoken of in esoteric texts or
the core star). I get snapshots that suddenly appear
in my mind and I don't know what some of the stuff in
the image is. Then, sometimes years later, I will
suddenly be driving along and the snapshot will
suddenly move over what is outside and I know I am
where the picture in my mind predicted I would be. I
frequently see moving images that are literally like
short films and I can usually replay them in my mind
like a video. I also get fully formed pictures of art
that I am going to paint in my mind. I used to design
sweaters and would just get a picture of a finished
sweater in my head, right down to the stitches and the
colors. I do paint but I earn my living writing.
