The two are always distinct, with the imagined visual field being a lot fuzzier, and less coherent, missing some detail. When I'm dreaming, I don't notice these issues, but they're obvious in retrospect.

For example, this afternoon I was napping and I used my bank card to pay for some popcorn, but the back of the bank card was blank, and the text on the card reader was gibberish.

minds eye, but can also 'superimpose' within minds eye, no distortion of visual field occurs but there's an understanding of exactly what such a distortion would be, which feels closer to the visual field than the minds eye. I answered minds eye but maybe this is sort of same

I voted, “They’re the same.” I completely lose sight of my “actual visual field” when visualizing any sort of imagery, even if I’m walking in a busy area, or washing the dishes. I have to switch back to looking at the world. Odd to think about.

Huh. :-o I can visualize stuff with my eyes open (not vividly or well but a bit) and it's like a completely separate thing, they don't interfere in any way.

Nothing is ever literally superimposed, AR-style, but neither is anything purely "mind's eye". My manipulatory area affects the experience. If I'm visualizing how to organize papers on a table and I'm standing in front of that table, it feels more like AR-style "projection".

You have a small problem with the survey and your response. The Survey is asking about memory (of an event from the past). You are talking about planning (ideas of/for the future) they access totally different parts of the brain.
