I can visualize, and I see things in my mind play out like a movie. I also have really vivid dreams - I wonder if those are related at all.
I can also listen to music in my head. Like, if I want to hear a song, I just can think of it and "hear" it. I remember lyrics very well, which makes me a rock star when I karaoke because I don't need to watch the words. lol
Not sure how else this has been helpful in life. When I have a nightmare, I have a visualization that I go to that I have used since I was a kid to self-soothe. I wonder if directing a film or something like that would be easier or harder if you can visualize things. I can see it either way - if you can picture what you want, you just do it. But what if its impossible to get it just right? Would you be better off if you only "saw" the basics of a scene.
I have very vivid dreams but can’t voluntarily visualize anything. I’m great at remembering lyrics after hearing a song once or twice and can “hear” songs in my head but they’re not in the original voices.

Are they in your voice?
When I play songs in my head, I hear the original voice, but it's as if the voice is coming from me.

Yup, my inner voice. Same rhythm/music but not the original voices.

I wonder if this makes my anxiety/ocd worse? Like the fact that I can (and have to) visualize everything clearly makes it so I relieve bad moments or flat out see my fears.

I always thought everyone did that, lol.
I wonder that too. My husband can relive moments or things in movies/books which disturb him which to me, sounds awful!
