Powers of visual thinking

The title goes with little meaning for me than just as 'day dreaming'..!! So don't go by the heading..!!
Thinking with visualization is more powerful and effective due to the sense of vision in it. It is similar to foreseeing ours' and opponents' various possible moves in the game of Chess! We are experiencing the game already once in the mind before actually playing it. Good isn't it?
In my opinion, any activity that involves unknown change should be preceded by simulation of that with a visual thinking. It is a laboratory for idea generation. I shall soon come up with examples..
