The "interior monologue" is the same innovation as silent reading (which is still impossible for many. Watch their lips as they subvocalize...) People anthropomorphize people too much. If you can "picture things in your mind's eye" (while awake) you should know that most can't.

People often act as if they experience something which they do not, as people mime the actions of others (while believing that everyone is like themselves). Many people can use the term "mind's eye" & think that it is a colloquial metaphor & not a description of a phenomenon.

Think about how long people get away with saying stuff like "for all intensive purposes" & "fallen on death ears"- consider that this applies to more "normative" processes than you are aware of. Consider, truly, how many automata surround you.
