We use terms like 'see' and 'mind's eye' but those are a bit misleading. Visualizing is basically thinking about a scene or object to the point of remembering characteristics of them so well that your mind creates an 'image' of them. It's not meant to be as clear and accurate as actually seeing the thing in real life, though with practice it does get more realistic. Try reading something fiction and try to imagine what the author's describing in your head, build an image until it's strong enough for you to 'see' it. That's an exercise that helped me.
