in my case i can't. in fact i can't imagine how others even do it. can you just walk through your old school inside your imagination..?
Yep. Some corners may be fuzzy like in a dream, but basically I can take a walk in my head through any place I know well. Virtual spaces too, I can walk through Lordran from Dark Souls 1 in my head too.
that's extremely cool
So in your brain you know your old school exists as a "fact", but you can't remember what it looks like? Can you verbally describe what it looked like?
i can describe it with language, but i can't 'see' anything. but for example i can see a picture of a classroom and explain how it's different from the one i used to be in.
So you know your classroom had walls and desks. You can describe them with words, but can't imagine even a fuzzy blurry image of what it looked like visually? Can you "see" any colors or textures or anything in your memory?
i can't visualize at all really. but when i'm physically looking at something similar to whats in my memory but with some minor differences i can tell the difference.
I know what it looks like. It just doesn’t look like a photo in my mind.
