Anyone else have an issue where they 'see' an image/idea in their head, before they are able to describe it in a concrete, linear way which others can understand?

I think in moving images mostly with my inner voice being a narrator. It's like a movie in my head that is being constructed on the fly from my senses and/or imagination.

It makes communicating with others difficult because I'm constantly having to convert other peoples words into mental images and there are often many different ways that a single sentence can be turned into a mental image and so I end up with multiple mental images in my mind and have no idea which one of them was intended by the other person. So often times I get the wrong idea and end up misinterpreting the person I'm talking with.

When I'm speaking it's the same problem in reverse. I'm converting mental images into a single sentence or paragraph and as a result of trying to accurately describe the mental images I tend to use too many words or go into too much detail. This tends to make NT people uncomfortable because they seem to prefer broad and shallow conversation rather than narrow and deep. I don't really know any way round this except to try and only describe the gist of the image and not the tiny details and then suck up the discomfort of being inaccurate.
