I have a very cliche mind (one of the many reasons I don't write anymore). I turn everything into a visual place. My life, for example, is a timeline represented by a road (I told you I had a cliche mind ), with the parts I've already lived stretched out longer than the ones I haven't, and there are curves at the major life events that have happened or will happen (such as starting school, when my grandmother died, when I'm going to move out, etc.). My happy place is very full, and it's almost an entire world on its own. My mind as a whole has a visual representation as well. Most things I think about either have a world/house/road/etc. of their own or are a part of one of these places (and all of them have an area in the house of my mind), and as other places do, most of these are always changing and being added to and taken away from, and it can get pretty elaborate. Oddly enough, I've been doing this my whole life. So how do you think?

I think in a very visual way, which is ironic due to my major sight problems. I put my life into board games (varying from poker, Monoploy and chess), I turn revision into a video game in my head, and my happy place makes me so incredibly absent-minded that it's a wonder that I ever come back.

I once read a story (it was a HP fanfic, actually) about Hermione being totally physically paralyzed, and she built this elaborate mansion in her mind and lived there. It sounds similar to how we think, except we're not going insane and trying to totally live inside our own minds. I'll get you the link if I can ever find it, but I must warn you that it does have a relationship in it that most people find ridiculous/stupid/wrong. The story is absolutely brilliant, though, and I think you would love it.

Here it is: www.fanfiction.net/s/2056132/1/If you can stand Harry Potter, and if there is any POSSIBLE way you can get your mind past a Hermione/Snape pairing, I strongly suggest that you all read this story. This person should really write non-fanfic stories and be published.

I've seen that pairing before. It's weird.
Anyway - any more visual thinkers? Others?

Yeah. Just pretend it's not in the HP world, but in some similar world, and it will help greatly.
I wonder what other types of thinkers there could be. Perhaps some who only think in words? Or perhaps some who have a musical tune for everything?

I think visually too, in scenes really, but only when it comes to writing. It's that part of me that makes me think I'd want to be a screenwriter someday. The scenes I think about are silent ones, mostly fight scenes or love scenes or chase scenes with music to suit the mood. There is always a guy, and the guy is always me. The most recurring one I have is of this constant shift between two scenes, a and b, where (a) this guy (me) who is on his way back to his girlfriend, and he's being attacked, and he's trying to get back to her to save her, sped up, and (b) his girlfriend making love with some other guy in the snow, very slow, and "Summer Breeze" by Jason Mraz plays in the background. I think the startling contrast between the fast chase scene and the slow love scene is kinda moving, and the song, which sings of a guy so happy to come home and see his girl "without a care", is playing in the background when the couple in the scene clearly have no sentiments in that vein. That's kinda what goes on in my head.
Weird, right?

I'm a very visual thinker as well... if I can't see it, it's very hard for me to get my mind around. All my stories play out as movies in my head and so do half of my thoughts.

I am entirely oral and audaic. I can close my eyes and listen to a play or movie just fine. I don't, naturally, but I can. Speaking of which, two weeks ago there was a test at my school for color-blindness, and I'm chuffed I see in full color. Furthermore, while, say, conducting, I can see the entire score in my head. I needn't look at it but for little things like 'piu lento' or 'cresc.' Plus, I have a sexy top hat. Like Verdi. VIVA VERDI [/size][/center]

Not sure how to say it. I suppose I think in cenarios. Whenever im encountering a problem, or some activity, I wey both sides and think of how they might play out. I also do this day dreaming alot... ;D I guess im a visual person. I see something once, and its very hard for me too forget it. Top hats are very sexy.

I put music to things as well. God, born to be a mvie maker. Like, if I get a scene in my head, I don't forget it in a hurry in my rush to let it out to someone.

If there were fewer frivolous subforums it might be improved...
