When I was a kid, I thought everyone thought in gestalt, holographic sorts
of structures with variable focus. Only later did I learn to think in
pictures, and then later in words (which I often find rather limiting, but
which is useful in trying to memorize things), even though I've always been
very verbal with a high vocabulary.
