<human>: First, I want to say that I'd consider myself somebody who is not creative. I do not like to draw, I am not artistic, and I often struggle at creating new ideas. 

When I was in 7th grade, I specifically remember mentioning in my english class that I can't "picture what I read." My teacher called me out, saying that was odd, but I never really thought of it until the other day.

When I close my eyes, I can't see much. When I am trying to use my imagination, I can sometimes "sense" activity and images but they are not clear. There is never any color, always black and white, and mostly black. It's like I see shadows. But I am not seeing what I want to see, just shadows that somehow represent what I am imagining, and my brain does the rest of the work.

My question to you, Reddit, is whether or not this is normal. 

This comes to me because the other day, for those of you from r/trees, I was really high. Trying to fall asleep, my imagination ran wild. For the first time that I can remember, I had imagination that was crystal clear. In color. It was like a short film, a movie, in my eyes. I've always wondered if this is what the rest of the world sees when they use their imagination.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: when you use your imagination and close your eyes, do you see color? is it like a actual picture/movie? or just black?
