I have noticed that sometimes at the moment of falling asleep I am aware of colorful images--usually masses of people but the faces are not clear; it's not people I know. It's not like a dream because there is no plot or story line. A sleep aid article I read said that psychologists called this as an hallucination not a dream. This seemed to fit the discussion outline but is nothing like your "day dreams". At first I thought they were visual for you, but it sounds as though you have a vivid imaginatin. We;re word people.

Anxiety makes my mind do this. It wants to distract itself from something. I alos do this a lot right before falling asleep

Well, I'm aphantastic and write fiction for a living, so my imagination seems to have a similar limber quality to yours--making up random stuff and running with it. I think it was more fanciful and I tended to follow the threads more (and for longer) when I was younger, but I still have a very rich internal imaginative life, although with no images. And your English is very good!
