Interesting! Thanks, that analogy is really helpful. I definitely don't have that level of photo realistic mind's eye. As you say, I can visualize things, but it's not remotely like seeing things in the real world. The way I hear things in my mind is much more like hearing the real words. So I guess by analogy I can kind of understand what it might be like to have a similar internal auditory experience to my visual one. FWIW reading other comments here I also realized that a better way to describe my internal monolog than internal hearing would be internal speech. It's really more like 'saying' something in my head than 'hearing' it. Even if what I'm remembering is someone else talking, it's kind of a mix between hearing them in my head and.. something like me doing an impression of them to myself.
