I am 69. I just found out last year that other people actually saw things with their mind's eye. I have always considered myself an imaginative and creative person, but I do not see anything with my imagination. Not even a hint of a vison. I have always dreamed. Often very detailed dreams with sights and sounds and tastes and smells. Most of my dreams are in the first person so in most I experience them as if I am living it. Occasionally I am not in my dream either as myself or as someone or something else. I experience it from outside kind of like sitting on the park bench watching life. Sometimes, I dream in abstract especially when I'm trying to figure something out. Like when I'm planning or making things. When I was in highschool in the early 1970's I took a class called, "Intensive Journalism". We had to record our dreams and I learned to recall my dreams in great detail. I also learned to take control of them and to return to a dream. In most casesI usually do not take control of my dreams. I enjoy dreaming.
