Yes, that's exactly what I see. And I hear the dialogue being spoken, too (or crickets chirping, car horns, etc.). Very occasionally, I also get touch-o-vision or smell-o-vision, but that's rare. It's gotten to the point where I see camera angles and movement. To take a completely random example pulled out of my bookcase...from a story in an anthology called "Dragon Fantastic": "Its body glowed a rich mahogany red, while the crest of spikes that ran the length of its neck and back were copper-colored in the sunlight." When I read that, the word "ran" translates into me (or the camera in my mind) actually panning down the dragon's back along the row of spikes.
My brain works EXACTLY the same way. I had a similar conversation with Cristin who isn't visual at all when reading stories and it kinda boggled me. Sometimes it's hard for me to get through a book because the mental images are just...soooo...baaaaad. But, othertimes it makes the reading experience so much fun! well, expept when they go and make books into movies and their interpretation of what the characters look like and sound like are COMPLETELY different then inside your brain.
