I practice mindfulness meditation which rests on actual experience, not mental images. So most of the guided (most, not all) meditations I experience are focused on experiencing what is, not imagining what it is. Still, sometimes in guided meditations, visualizing sneaks in and I am learning to let it go, it doesn't apply to my experience, and that's okay. I'm also learning to become a teacher of mindfulness meditation and am paying extra attention to not include visualization in my practice.

My dreams are vivid and are one of the reasons I adore going to bed. Once I even tasted food (I don't recall ever having tasted anything in a dream before that one event). If I remember a dream, I could tell you bits and pieces of it only, but I wouldn't be able to visualize any of it, so it tends to fade really fast. I only have a few memories from my entire life that I can still recall, but I've told myself those stories so many times that they are ingrained in me now.
