Daily Dialogues

I’ve always thought that having internal dialogues and mental imagery was normal. I thought that everybody had it since that’s the only experience I’ve had both with myself and media. It can be nice to play out the events of a movie whenever I want as long as I’ve memorized it. I can imagine color, movement, music, and voices. The only thing my brain is bad at is proportion. In my head, characters constantly change height when they’re next to someone else.

I don’t know if I’m just writing to people who know what I’m talking about and think that this post is redundant, but apparently around 50 percent of people don’t even have an internal dialogue, let along imagery and the strength of that imagery. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to not have a song constantly playing in your head and not be able to pull up any scene from anything. Sometimes it’s distracting to never be truly left alone, but the imagery is great for my memory and it’s fun.
