Whether you believe in heaven or not most people have some sort of mental picture of what it will look like or what they would like it to look like.
I always imagine heaven to be a place of with lots of greenery because that is what I love in this life. Some might imagine it to be blues skies and fluffy clouds or perhaps if you don't think such a place exists maybe the word heaven conjures up no pictures at all.
How do you see it?

That's a great picture. I always think of the Rainbow Bridge when I remember my own pets who have passed on.

@sprite1950 Our pets and the animals were part of our life, I cannot imagine an afterlife without our companions.

@LadyDuck I have lost so many pets over the years. The thought of seeing them all again brings tears to my eyes.

I see heaven as full of clouds and in those clouds we can walk or float. Thats how I perceive it to be. Just a simple as that.

@mlgen1037 I think those pictures are put in our head when we are young and they stay with us.

I have no image of what heaven is. Really. But I do believe in God and going to paradise. I just don't have a concrete image of what that would be. But I have an imagination of how I would feel though. Pure happiness.

@sprite1950 Too much fantasy movies? Or old folk stories maybe.

I know it's weird but when I see woodland areas with many trees I always imagine there are spirits flying around in between the trees, spirits of children happy and laughing. I've no idea why I think that,

I think these images are put in our heads as children. Pictures we have seen in books.

@sprite1950 yes you keep hearing the gates of heaven all your life until the image of physical gate is implanted inside your head

I think it depends on what we've been told as children and the pictures we have seen in books. They seem to shape our idea of heaven.

I see heaven like a beautiful garden many beautiful flowers and trees, different kinds of animals and different kinds of fruit bearing trees.

That sounds beautiful. I think we all have a picture of what it will be like.

I've never heard anyone say that before. Most people think of beautiful things. I wonder why you think of blackness.

Although I have grown up believing that there is heaven and hell somehow I am doubting about their existence now.

I must admit, with some of things going on in this world it does make you wonder.

I picture it similar to but better than all the most beautiful places in God's creation I have been. Somehow I can't quite picture streets of gold as being better than lakes and mountains, trees and gardens and rivers and waterfalls, etc.

It's strange but I think we all picture it as something good we can relate to in this life because that's all we know, something that makes us feel happy, but It may not be anything we can see. Perhaps it will be something we can only feel.

@sprite1950 I guess we will all have to wait and find out. What we know is that it's beyond anything we can think or imagine.

I like to think that this is not the end although I'm not religious

Maybe not but even if we don't I still picture what it might look like in my head.
