I've been having an interesting discussion over email lately, which led to a question I wanted to ask other people.

At night, or when I'm in the car or even just sitting when it's quiet, I tend to tell myself stories in my head. Nothing I'd ever write down, just things/people I like and think about. I do that with words and occasional images. So it's like a book with illustrations as opposed to say, watching a movie.

My question is. When you think, do you do so in words, pictures or some other way? Or maybe you don't do the story thing at all and think I'm a big old weirdo. In which case, feel free to smile and back away.

I tell myself stories all the time, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep (I can't sleep if I'm thinking about real things), and they're mostly like trumpeterofdoom said, a movie with sporadic narration over top. Well, a lot of narration. And dialogue. But always pictures. :)

When I'm going to sleep is my favourite time to tell myself stories.

It must be like having your own personal movie that you can affect at will. I find that so cool.
