  Yeah you lost me Like you get words popping up in your head when you look at a visual stimulus and you can't tell if the word are actually written there?

  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'd say it's like leaving a cassette in the player, I can switch it out if I think about it, but if I just play "something" there will be a default tape in the player. Hmm that's really interesting. In a way, your mind can create images then because otherwise you wouldn't see them. You just cannot consciously produce an image?

Or is your inner voice completely voluntary?

  What kind of sound hallucinations? Like people or yourself talking to you? Does it sound like you're hearing it from your ears? People can project their mind's eye image into reality.

  I'm not sure. I can not smell things without actually smelling them. Same with taste. I can imagine my hand rubbing on different grit sandpaper and know how they would feel differently but I don't "feel" it. I can play songs in my head with sounds that are like the actual sounds but it's similar to humming or whistling in my head. It's not like I hit play and just listen. I don't get earworms.
