holographic verson of real life(similar but not the exactly the same)

most people only remember 1-2 dreams when we have 5 dreams every night

i can remember usually 3-4 after sleeping and i have old memories of dreams from when i was 5 years old they aren't completely remembered it's parts of the dreams i remember

i suppose i can multitask i was driving on gta 5 with one hand + tongue while texting my girlfriend with the other hand

 it might take a few seconds to consentrate i could visualise 4 different things at once like 4 different realities/memories wha ever

YES A THIRD EYE like you said

 1. Yes.

2. Yes, if it's recalled or resurfacing.

3. Simultaneous

4. Depends on the level of its impregnation / significance.  Quite vivid at most times.

5. Again, matter of significance. Quite detailed usually. 

6. Again, matter of impregnation / significance. Usually easily recalled if wanted, but a lot of well-impregnated visual info  is involuntarily resurfacing in my head all the time. Nearly all of it is travel-related visuals.

7. Yes, i have it all happening in my head most times while going about daily business.

I developed these questions based on previous descriptions by other people I've heard. I'll share MY experience with visual recollection when more people have shared theirs. Although, I already find myself surprised by both descriptions. Not just the differences in them, but also... Well, like I said, I'll get into mine when I hear some more.

Describe, to me, how you recall visual information.

 I imagine it in my head in the form of a picture if it's an image I'm trying to recall. Certain other things I just visualize as words. For example, I can't visualize anything with the words 'love' or 'evil'. I just see each word in my head because I can't imagine anything associated with either of them.

Do you see a picture of whatever you saw?

Again, it depends on what I'm thinking about.

Is it in your current vision?

If I'm currently thinking about it, then yes, of course.

Is it separate from your current vision? (Like a "third eye?" Something you see simultaneous with your current vision, but not necessarily overlapping?)

No.

Is the image you get vivid?

It's vivid enough I suppose.

Describe the extent of detail you might see in a general image you've recalled. For example, what details do get when recalling the cover of the last book you read?

I only remember important details or things that interest me. I don't even remember the last book I read.

Oh wait, I do. It had a picture of a girl on the front cover, though I'll be damned if I could even tell you what hair color she had. I don't remember anything else on the book. I remember the girl because she was attractive.

Does it take a lot, or a little concentration to recall visual information?

It depends. I can easily imagine things I saw recently, but past events take more effort because I don't tend to retain useless information.

Can you easily multitask, and do other things while you recall visual information?

No, I suck at multitasking.

I will ask simple questions like this to get an understanding of how similar other peoples' perceived realities are to mine. If I see some major differences, then one of my personal concerns may be a possibility. 

 You can call it a picture, sure.

It does not show up in my current vision (the vision perceived by my eyes)

It is like a separate sense, when it does happen. It is, technically, simultaneous. But, for the most part, my attention switches completely to the recollected image, and I am unable to focus on my current vision.

The image I get is a general idea, and wouldn't probably be considered useful visual information if someone else were able to see it, especially as of late. It is not vivid at all, and any attempt to get details is usually in vain.

It takes my complete attention to recall visual information, but it usually doesn't help anyways. I don't even use visual recall most of the time because of how bad I am at it. I cannot multitask, and attempting to envision images that other people give me is an impossible task, for me.

If I can get a somewhat accurate, or detailed image (I haven't in maybe a year or two. My visual recall seems to be fading, as a skill or ability), then parts of it change in ways that are hard to describe. For example, if I were to get an image of a person to be somewhat detailed (I can distinguish arms from body), then the scale of different parts increases dramatically compared to the rest, giving me the impression that the person I remember had hands that were as large as the person's body. And the scales will change constantly as the image stays there, getting weirder all the time. But it doesn't really stay there, keeping it there is exhausting and eventually causes headaches/eye-aches. It's like it gets played to me at a varying frame-rate, different than the frame-rate of my actual, visual perception. So, all in all, when I can use visual recall, it has hallucinogenic properties. My visual recall seems to have been much different than most peoples' since as far back as I can remember, but it appears to be getting worse. I mean, I can recognize peoples' faces and shit when I see them, and recognize objects, but I just can't visualize them well, if at all (It takes a lot of effort to get to "at all".).

Bringing back visual impressions from my memory is near impossible. What I "see" is more a representation than anything resembling reality. Which is quite weird since I am a very visual based person. I very easily get images in my head and think in images, not words. So you'd think they would be vivid and complex, but no.

Interesting.

I once asked a friend of mine, who was very artistic, if she envisioned the drawing/painting on the canvas while she drew/painted it. She said yes. She said she very vividly imagined the picture on the paper and drew as she saw. I was blown away.
