Video of images

StoriesHyperphantasia
I realize that when I listen to a non-visual narrative (someone talking, audiobook, TV but not looking at the screen) I see a series of images that correspond to the words spoken. Not all the words but everyone that has a physical subject. These flash by at the rate of the speaker and even if I speed up the stream of words, with an audiobook this is possible, the images keep up. Does anyone else experience this?

I don't. But music does get stuck in my head and I do have a constant internal dialogue with myself going on in my head almost always.
