Barbara Stanwyck and Bogie do a lot of my mental voices, for some reason. Too many B&W movies, I expect.

I wasn't sure how to put it in words, but this is exactly what happens with me. I can't really "see" without closing my eyes and I can't read with my eyes closed. Maybe I should try audiobooks and see how they do?
A good book/well described book will actually enter into my dreams pretty much as described.
While this can be lovely, there are definitely bad moments... such as when I was reading The Green Mile and Hannibal. The books themselves didn't scare me, but I had several nightmares from those two.
