I'm one of those people who has deep levels of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-eye_hallucination" target="_blank">closed-eye hallucinations</a> (level 4 on the scale Wikipedia is talking out here after just a minute or two having my eyes closed, pretty often), but I don't think I've ever seen a visual calendar when thinking about tomorrow's schedule. It comes to me in words.The visuals and the verbal thinking are completely separate processes for me. My internal monologue keeps running even while I go through CEVs, and what I "see" and the words I think are very often unrelated. My word thoughts will often briefly acknowledge a particular vivid or cool CEV, and then go back to thinking about what they were thinking about or go off on the next tangent.On the other hand, I can think about a scene and get both words and mental images.As a footnote, I've been assured that none of this is that unusual, and not indicative on any neurological or mental disorder. It can, however, make things like getting to sleep or meditating a challenge sometimes. Also, the wikipedia images are very clearly from someone who hasn't experienced it and is going off descriptions from people who have.It's always interesting to see how very differently from each other our minds often work.</blockquote>
