I find myself defaulting back to playing the last catchy song I heard if I choose to hum or whistle or just decide to play something in my head.

I wouldn’t think letters, sounds, or words. I’d just get ideas that I can use my internal voice to consider if I wanted to think about it in words.
I believe I have visual dreams when I have them which isn’t often. They feel extremely real when I have them. I feel like I know the details without feeling like I made a list of details to remember, it’s like I remember from seeing it.
