I daydream, I suppose -- just not in clear imagery.

I can actually draw really well, better than most people. But not super elaborate scenes. And I know that if I could actually visualize, it would be helping me a lot.

I also have excellent musical/audio memory. I can hear back songs almost perfectly in my head, in the right key and in full detail.

I’ve never come across someone who also claims to be able to reproduce songs perfectly in their head. I can do this. It’s mostly involuntary though. I can’t pick and choose which songs I ‘record’ onto my brain.
