There are a different mental images and one of them are memory images, these images are historical images, captured as an evidence of the past events. These images my be in the form of photos or our own memory stored inside our brain.
Next mental images we were introduced to are Imaginary Images, image that is produced through our imagination. Like how kids sometimes imagine cloud as floting cotton candy in the sky, cracks on the floor as fissure and so on. These images are not images that we see through our eyes but are images produced by imagination.
There are also Hypnagogic images, these images are images we see, scenario we experience and hallucination we felt through various means : lucid dream, twilight zone and sensory phenomena. It can also be triggered by using drugs to cause hallucination.
Next is after images, these images are optical illusion that refers to an image continuing to appear in one's vision after the exposure to the original image has ceased.
Mental images can also be produced with the eidetic ability, people gifted with the eidetic ability are like a human camera, they are able to capture the scenery in their mind and translate in on paper.
