Can you hear your own thoughts when thinking in sentences? If not what does thinking a sentence through feel like?

I've taken a disassociate drug by accident, I don't know if that's comparable. Other people describe seeing horror images, like spiders crawling over their skin or complex patterns while I just hallucinated voices, sounds and ideas that didn't make sense repeatedly, like I was stuck in a loop. There where no visuals.

I'm also interested how others experience hallucination.

Not the GP, but I can. I can play back songs in my head quite vividly or remember and replay how different people sound like, when it's coupled with a memory.

I might not have complete aphantasia, when trying to imagine an apple I struggle to imagine it beyond a circular form with a rod pertruding from an indent at the top. No color, no texture. As soon as I try to add more detail the previously imagined details dissapear and I have to circle back and reimagine them. Like having a very limited amount of draw calls every frame.

But I don't feel like I am impacted in imagining simple algorithms. I also construct them of very simple forms and rearrange them in my mind. I also feel like it is a lot easier for me to imagine things „automatically“ due to it being memories or being a byproduct of thinking about something. But my mind struggles constructing these images at will.

Also taking a pen and drawing these things up can replace some of the missing imaginary power :)

Yes, from what I've heard other people with aphantasia often dream normally. I certainly do vividly, while struggling a lot to visualize even simple things in my minds eye.

Instead of using every n'th letter, how about using a pseudo random number sequence generated by a simple math equation, like the one posted here a few days ago[1], and add that to every letter. With that the data should be shuffled basically beyond recognition though the effort needed to decode has increased even more.
