For me, yes. It's somewhat like watching a movie, but I have some control over it, and it's more visceral. It's probably why playing TTRPGs makes so much sense to me. I can visualize it really easily. I'll sometimes be reading and visualizing it, only to realize I don't know any of the words I just read, even though I did read them and they were included in the imagination.

I don't know if everyone is as detailed as I am though. It's interesting to consider. We can't really compare levels of imagination to each other.

I can only remember a handful of times I mentally imaged a scene. Usually I'm stuck at the words and how the character feels/sees/etc. Yes sometimes I can capture the image but usually thats not important IMO.
