what about in my mind?

thanks

[Torsten]

Well, in your mind might be grammatically correct but it's a rather awkward expression that is rarely used. You can say on my mind when you talk about something that is worrying you or when you refer to something or somebody you think about all the time. When you talk aboiut visual memories you can say I can see it in my mind's eye or when you imagine or envision something you can see it through your mind's eye. If you want to ask a person to tell you what they are thinking about or looking for you can say What do you have in mind? However, you would not say in your mind, only in mind.
