Purely out of interest I wanted to know which sensory perception(s) you guys find to imagine easiest. I for instance have no problems with imagining sound or taste. But experience great difficulty when trying to imagine shapes, objects and such. I can’t recreate touch and smell by imagining them.
So, what about you guys 
? (If this topic doesn’t belong here, feel free to move it)
shapes and stuff is easy
Taste and smell are hardest for me.
Perspective is hardest for me. I can imagine shapes, but when I try to move them or rotate them in my mind they never look right.
I’m very good with seeing shapes and objects in my mind’s eye.
Not so good at tastes or smells though.
Sometimes I can make it seem like I am hearing things 
Touch: great
Taste: very good
Smell: average
Sight: almost nothing
Hearing: good
I can look at things and “feel” them under my hands from afar.
I visualize better when I have my eyes open, as soon as I close them, everything becomes a ghostly colorless blur.
Sight.
When i look at a landscape i can somehow add an extra “layer”.
Like when I see a place covered in asphalt I can imagine how it were without, it’s not that clear (off course rl i clearer) but still good 
i remember emotion better than anything. I usually remember events by the feelings. My memory has been quite jumbled by drugs and I find myself remembering sounds or touch differently than they occoured. If I heard someone say “hello”, then for a second it will register, and then I suddenly remember the hello sounding quite different, and I am conscious that the memory of that sound has changed, but I’m not sure what it used to be.
My memory and my imagination altogether form one big mess. My mind is idiossyncratic to say the least, it doesn’t seem to function like everyone else’s. As a result, I experience some synæsthetic sensations, and some general weirdness.
Trying to imagine is a funny thing for me, cause a sunny day in the beach will smell like green apples and bring back scenes from the farm which give me a windy sensation that feels like tango, and bam! Now I’m in Buenos Aires and I feel the smell of coffee and start to suddently miss my home a lot. That’s how it goes. If you ever get to see me spontaneously narrating things, you can be amazed or, more probably, confused.
Rich situations show up, just like in my dreams (go search for the journal, I won’t bite), in which everything is so intense that it becomes overwhelmingly real, and yet so full of odd ends which should not be there. The lack of sensation of gravity in a grassy field with friends. What’s that mean? Possibly something psychological. But more than just a symbol, it’s a memory, for often times when I’m with my friends, and that could be in a bar or at the countryside or by the beach, I feel like I’m literally walking on clouds: there’s no gravity.
It’s like my emotions and my sentiments and my senses are just one massive single thing. And that’s how it goes for my imagination. I can pretty easily imagine the smell of green apples, it takes just looking away from focus. But then what comes altogether with the smell and soon overcomes it, that I don’t quite think I can’t control properly. 
Imagining sounds is far the best for me, proceded by smell, taste and touch, at last (and least 
) vision.
Vision is harder to recreate, maybe because I’m used to have a not-so-good vision, I tend to recognise people by analising other details. Sometimes my dreams are blurry but the other senses act very well.
edit:
Wooot, where did this bruno’s post come?
Touch is easy, so is sight, but I dont think anyone can imagine smell, and taste.
My mom can imagine taste. She does it all the time when she comes up with new recipes.
Myself, I’m good at imagining sounds. I do it when I compose a new song. Especially in class when I’m writing it out on paper.
I’m also very good at imagining someone else’s view on things. Even if they have the craziest logic, I can see exactly how their mind works. That’s why I’ve never lost a friend or been betrayed. I know if someone’s caple of lying.
As for images, well, at night, yes. Daytime, not so much.
Visual - definitely. I am always imagining apocalyptic type disasters. Although I’m kind of scaring myself, i find it very beautiful as well. For example: Recently i’ve been visualising the moon falling slowly towards the earth and landing in the sea. I can see the huge ball of white gradually filling the sky as it gets nearer and then sinking like the titanic into the sea. I don’t know if it’s even scientifically possible but that doesn’t stop me being curious about it.
Certain kinds of physical pain - Doesn’t have to be a pain i’ve experienced myself. I just find it very easy to imagine how it might feel.
Don’t read on if you’re squeamish…
Finger/toe nails being ripped off or injured in any way, The side or base of a finger nail being sliced with a sharp object, Breaking a toe, An arm or leg snapped at the knee/elbow in the opposite direction to how it usually bends, papercuts on the hand between fingers/toes.
Thinking of pain like these make me really uncomfortable. I’m imagining and kind of feeling them physically right now and i can’t stop 
. It’s so vivid it makes me scrunch up my fingers and toes. You know those little phobias people have of finger nails scratching a blackboard, a fork scraping a plate etc. Imagining pain goes right through me in the same way.
The problem with this sensation is that i can’t stop imagining it when i want to. My mind is too stubborn.
In order:
So taste is my most powerful imaginative perception 
That explains why I get totally grossed out when I see things like wet bread or old food crumbs 
Sound: Best. I can interpret songs and every one of their notes on a piano/saxophone/whatever instrument I can play.
Sight: Literally, no. But imagination wise, I tend to conjure music videos for every song I listen to. So, excellent.
Taste: Meh, not really.
Smell: Decent.
Touch: Pretty Good.
Sound would have to be the strongest for me, as I spend my entire days going over speeches to myself in my head or recreating songs I’d like to listen to. That’s followed by sight, which is still a strong ability in my creative imagination, followed by touch which is vague but still present. Recreating taste is barely possible for me, and forget about smell.
I’m very good at sight, touch, and sound. I’m pretty good at taste but not very good at smell. I spend a good deal of my time daydreaming.
Same here 
When I got time and i aint ding anything, i end up daydreaming
Visualisation is definitely my strong point, both written word and object/people. I think this is part of the reason I am good with recall from dreams/books/movies, it’s very easy for me to conjure something up that way.
Sound is usually good for me, really depends on my mood and how focused I am at recalling it. I can recall voices easily and my mind is very active so it’s always “saying something”.
Smell, that is beyond poor. I can’t recall smell at all, I can’t imagine it, nothing, nada.
I can imagine touch, but it’s not realistic touch.
I am about the same as Mohegan. I can visualize and hear sounds very well. Sounds is especially my strong point though. When I am bored sometimes I just imagine music playing in my head, and it passes the time a bit quicker.
Recalling smell and taste is actually quite hopeless for me. Which is odd, because I have an amazing sense of smell: I can tell which type of pie a pie is from 30 yards, hehe.
I’m very good at sight and sound, but not good at any of the others.
