Visualising, how to? Options

I've been wondering what to explain to myself really. When we are born we know nothing about using the mind, as we grow older we visualize certain things. It's all there when we need it, we just have to want to do so. Although thats the basic stuff really. For example if anyone else see's this stuff or not I have no idea, asked a friend and mother and they dont seem to do so, but it's what I would call the spiritual, scientists probably think of it as dark matter, it's the gray bitty stuff that reminds me of dust. I know it's different for everyone but those who are born spiritually aware would have it there. Saying that though, if anyone has been to the etheric then they would also see this other stuff almost twinkling in the sunlight, colord blue white and yellow. It's down to perception of reality, most people only have the basics, what you see when you remember, has anyone else noticed a flat color border around their memory window?

What do you see though and how would you go about visualising something in that space / with it?

Sometimes while dreaming I'll do some pathworking. Sometimes with specific intentions but most of the time just to explore my own mind's dreamscapes. Each time I do this there is a theme. Sometimes I travel down hallways, tunnels or caves in large complex buildings (as though I were following the synapes in my brain), city streets, highways and other roads and sometimes I'll just be somewhere in nature. Since I live near the rockies the nature scenes are usually either mountainous woodlands or endless deserts and plains and there is no specific path. Instead I make one and sometimes I find another. Maybe I'll find a cave or pathway or even a house or some other kind of structure. The most amazing themse I sometimes find are in outer space. Here I do not walk or "glide" down any direction instead I visit strange worlds, even the surface of the sun. Each experience, regardless of theme, is different. I have had some that were very much alike but once I compared my notes they were still different.

If I am not actually asleep I am just meditating I see the blackness behind my eyes. Like a curtian in a theater and gradually I see more colors at random and eventually these morph into shapes and these become recognizable as faces, animals, places ect and then from here until I retire from the excersice the meditation follows a theme. Still though sometimes I have specific intentions and sometimes not.
