From what I know of active imagination, this is incorrect. Active Imagination is a way of working with dreams, allowing them to unfold in all sensory channels, not only visual. There is a connection between visual language and active imagination, but it is tenous and they are not by any means the same.

This article had ben started and I thought was too important not to develop it. All comments welcome to improve it.

If thought processes in composing written text is of interest to researchers in Visual Language, than differences between "unsaved" edit versions of a wiki article would provide voluminous data using a large site like Wikipedia. Would MediaWiki need to be further "instrumented" to allow these intra-edit changes to be logged. See Language_production#Speech_Errors and Speech_error.
