Yesterday I was reading something about how children think without words, because they hardly know any word yet.<p>I mulled over that for a bit, and concluded that we all think without words in fact. The thought comes first, then it&#x27;s translated into words inside our minds. It should be obvious that the brain can only form words after it&#x27;s formed the thought.<p>So in your case, I find it impossible to believe that you don&#x27;t have imagination. I think it might just be inaccessible to you (to your consciousness).<p>I think most thoughts are in fact unconscious. What we consciously perceive of our own thoughts is just a small part of it, the high level output.<p>So I&#x27;m thinking that for you, the &quot;consciousness barrier&quot; so to speak is just a little higher than it is for most people.
