So recently since I have been ultra aware of my thoughts and I have been visualizing often, I have discovered that I usual narrate my visualization.

Which in my opinion probably isn't the most effective.

For instance instead of just seeing things happen, I am aware of my thoughts going "And then I get out of the car and walk to the door, When I am inside I see my son, husband Albert, and our baby. Albert is playing with the baby, he does this, then that, then this, then I do that." I have to say what happens before I can see it.

But point being I hear myself narrate it instead of just seeing it. Not sure what exactly that means but in the midst of my visualizations I am more focused on noticing my narrating now. I can't just think of something I want to visualize and my imagination go wild, I actually have to "tell the story" in order to see it.

No, I think it's fine.

Same here.

I actually quite like it. I've done this a few times. Keep doing it if you like.

Do what works. So....if it gets results, keep it up. If not, adjust and keep trying.

I am not sure its getting results.

I just know when I day dream I don't hear myself narrate, "Then he said this, and did this" before I can see it.

However I can't really visualize without doing it yet, so I guess its better than nothing, right!

Sounds intresting im going to try this, thanks for sharing :O)

I do that, too, and I usually add music to intensify it, as well. I tend to have more auditory and kinesthetic internal representations of what I want, so I use sounds and feelings to pump up my internal visualizations.

I also think that you are visualizing correctly. In fact I would say you are better off than many people. Narrating keeps your mind focused which is very important element in visualization. Now don't think that you are not getting results. While narrating your visualization if you feel something then you are on the right track.
