No, I see things in an internal space that doesn't exist physically.

It's difficult for me to intentionally do; if I'm just thinking it happens naturally but trying to force it to happen so I can study it is difficult. But it's not like I hallucinate objects into the room with me. Like, I'm looking at a table across the room, and I'm imagining a pepsi can sitting on it. My mind re-creates the image of the table with the pepsi can on it.

Something I think I'm noticing: My "mind's eye" doesn't have peripheral vision, I get a fairly narrow field of view that's about like my central vision. I don't imagine in widescreen.
