do you imagine pictures while playing?

Strange, I never managed to imagine picture and sound simultaneously.
If I close my eyes and go into playing, there is no picture, just sound.
If I watch something while playing, it immediately manifests in the 
music, but I cannot "direct" that somehow...

Maybe if I want enough, I can learn that?

Most people that love music see pictures while listening. I dont either :-(
