For the Deep Thinkers

[Mill]

When I am in deep thought I can most definitely see vivid pictures of highly intelligent thoughts. However I am unable to express them into words.

Anyone else?

Agreed.This I think is one reason I don't share/talk about my daydreams. Expressing the images especially as I am waking up is hard to do.I  thought I could put my daydreams into words/writing might be ,my calling but it's like shooting a movie and then writing the script.

Kind of. Sounds interesting! I once heard that there is a part of the brain that specifically for showing you images, or something? And that humans generally "talk in pictures". I can't remember what part of the brain it was sorry. If I didn't get info mistaken, I wonder if it has anything to do with this? I see more of a movie when I am DD-ing. But when my brain is in super crazy fast mode, I tend to somehow get there AMAZING revelations and ideas and it tires together, and then its all gone and I can never remember how I fitted it all together. But I do often find it hard to put things in words. I think people secretly think I'm a little bit dumb. But its like, my mind is so much on overdrive and I have all there brilliant thoughts and possibly colours going on, its hard to instantly find the words to talk. I often wish I had a USB port in my head so people can just download my thoughts and pictures because talking just can't cut it, its like my brain is way to fast for my mouth!
What sort of pictures do you see? Are they scenes or patterns or real things?

Same

Yes, this happens a lot to me too. It takes a while for me to translate the images into words, but the words will be awkwardly phrased.

I am a young musician/singer, so I think poetically rather than visually. When I think deep thoughts, I hear music/tunes sometimes. Minor chords when I'm upset about something, and uplifting chords when happy/ excited.
But, I think it's great that you think this way, though...You just have to work on finding a way that you can individually express them. I know that's not easy, but I wish you luck!

Same here, this is kind of a random example but earlier this week I was working on a net for a shape I had to build for a project. Several times throughout the day I randomly imagined how it would fold and how to draw it, and after several attempts thats what "saved me". I found it really difficult to control the thought though, like when I wanted to imagine how it would look like when I was working on it I couldn't.

I am an artist, so I basically think in pictures...

I have put a lot of effort in expressing myself in words throughout the years, though, and lately I seem to be  able to manage communicating properly, although I don't talk much.

could you draw them?
