I have three different ways that vision seems to work with me.

1. Actually seeing something like in a dream.

2. A mental scratch pad I can draw on and use spatial awareness to navigate. (I see the code of applications as flying over a landscape or walking through a forest.)

3. Imagination, which uses whatever data vision gets turned into.

I'm not sure how common 2 is. A lot of my brain has broken parts and this scratchpad is used in place of logic. This works fine until I need to work on linear list of similar tokens and keep them in order, like math and some functional programming languages.
