Words are only sounds to me, not inextricably twined with pictures. I think it gives an advantage in some ways, but I certainly would make a very poor fighter pilot or sculptor.

Do you "see" scenes when you dream?
If someone asked me to picture Iginla in a red jersey, I can do it. I can picture a person or an object in color - any background is vague or impressionistic. It's not a vivid HD panoramic scene.
