The other night I realized that when I was thinking, I was seeing the picture with the left side of my brain, and on the right was sound. I was thinking of a sewing technique and playing it out in my mind, and it was on the left side. at the same time I had a song playing in my head, and that was on the right side.

Is this how it is for you guys?

Audio is processed in the temporal lobes on either side, and visual is processed in the occipital in the back.

I don't understand what you are saying - as twoshots has said auditory and visual are not processed on particular sides.
