I was sitting here trying to figure out how I think. It's harder than I
thought it would be! <grin>

For the most part, I think in words, sentences, never-ending ramblings.
I will almost always rehearse conversations in my head, with the
conversations going in all different directions. I'm almost certain
this comes from being too dang quiet in Real Life and my mind's frantic
desire to express itself. This is really awful at night when I want to
sleep and my mind won't shut up!

Sometimes, though, I think in pictures. In my mind's eye, I will see
myself performing an action with no babble accompanied with it. If I'm
working on a story, I'll sometimes see the scene vividly (kinda like a
movie). That doesn't happen often though. <sigh> I think it's more
strong visualization and role-playing as opposed to actually
associating colors/shapes as thoughts.

Mostly I think in conventional words though. Nothing nearly so cool as
thinking "Thank You" in pictures or music. Ever in the norm, that's
me...
