How to Bring Mental Imagery to Conscious Awareness

People can actively bring the use of their vision, motor system and olfactory system to conscious awareness sometimes. That's called mental imagery. Wheni yoh, imagine a pink elephant, you sort of actively and consciously experience this visual thing that's pink and elephant shaped. And it's sort of weird, because there isn't anything pink and elephantshaped in front of you, and you're consciously aware of it. But the use of the motor and perceptual and affective system that we're talking about with this mental simulation hypothesis is not necessarily conscious. It's not necessarily available to reflection.
