I am SO GLAD I'm not the only one who does this!!!

I hear different characters in different voices, the narrative is my own voice (I think) and I most definitely have a "movie" playing in my head. But not in the film sense. It's more like I visualize what I think a particular scene or action sequence would look like. Then a bit of narrative, then another scene. So my "movie" is not continuously flowing the entire time.


As a side note, I worked in a movie theater for 4 years, so this is interesting to see so many people with the "movie" concept. Didn't know if it was just how I was, or a product of my experience.
