How Do You Think?

I realized that as I was thinking, I was also visualizing, with my eyes open.
Which made me wonder how other people think about things.
Some people think in words, while others think in pictures. Some people think in color, others black and white.
If you can visualize things in more than words, can you do it with your eyes open? Or do you have to close your eyes?
Curiouser and curiouser...
Anyway, let me know how you think
Personally, I can think in words and images, in color or in black and white, and can visualize what I'm thinking about with my eyes open
doodoodoo!!!

As for the whole colour to black and white issue, I'm more of a colour guy myself, I do see the occasional thing in black and white but it's mostly colour when it comes down to it.

I also tend to visualize terms (like foolish), I see a mental image of an action or something.

Edit: And I've noticed that I think in English half the time, French 'bout a tenth of it, and Dutch for the rest

"feelings attached to the words I use to think"
Nothing visual with me. (well maybe if I sleep)

Sometimes I'll use images when thinking about what a certain action would ammount to, but this usually ends up in (Or maybe it is?) daydreaming.
I use sound (words) for more abstract thinking (School learning usually goes with words), and for memories composed purely of sound (Conversations, music.)
As for all my thinking; I believe I do it in layers. Such layers succeed each other rapidly (almost overlapping), and each gets more detailed. Simple example: I know what I'm going to think before thinking it. In the end it just needs to be formulated (sort of... ).

I many times surprise myself, but there's so much data in the brains that people have - and almost never really use... I guess I'm just connecting all the available data and making conclusions at the same time - thus prcesing the stuff I learned and making new thoughts at the same time.
