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'm like a lot of people here as well, I mostly think in movie sequences with narration or dialogue running over it. I think the main thing for me that's strange is that I only think in English, which baffles me since it isn't my first language. I can't remember when it started, but it must've been when I started reading fanfic online and had to run so much English through my head on a daily basis.
I LOVE telling myself stories when I go to sleep. It's one my favorite things ever. Mostly I just take a scene I've been working on in my head for a while and try to elaborate it, or sometimes I just repeat it. Then the words tend to come in, because suddenly descriptive passages pop up and pieces of dialogue, etc. It's a strange process, but I adore it. :D

It really is.
That is strange that you think in English. I wonder if that goes for others where English is a second language, too? I may have to ask. Man, I'm so nosy.
It sounds like a wonderful process. I can't think of anything more boring that just lying and not thinking of anything. Elaborating on a story seems like the perfect thing to do.
