I studied classical music for many years at uni and there definitely was a time when I could "hear" an orchestra in my mind. I could focus in on individual instruments and then bring their parts into the whole.
I studied composition too so would often "hear" the piece in my mind before I would hit the piano, pen and paper.
These days, being so out of practice I don't find I do it as much but there are still times when I can.

I do three dimensional design and builds of projects in my head. hardly ever need drawings or plans. I visualise the project, rotate and design, then test mechanically. Quite complex systems, EQM mounts, scopes, optical systems, obs boats, cars etc Then I attempt to find the parts I need to make them, my garage has a lot of 'junk'.

Now that's quite exceptional!
I can do a little of that when I'm designing a new timber piece to build, but I always have to bring it to paper to get the details right. Awesome stuff!
