>in a very detailed way and in correct order) what I want to do, and the rest happens by itself as soon as I intend it. Making a plan and adding the “feeling” of intent, or desire, consciously

YES that's precisely it! It's like this feeling of intent that you are aware of and carry it out as required, I gave the water example to illustrate the way that intent transforms into useful action, another example I can give happened today in which I was trying to meditate and in the moment decided that I will do so for 5 minute intervals before a bell rings to track time, and the entire thought, including its intent was just summed up in that one instant "feeling" and nothing further had to be done, I didn't need to subvocalize to myself or visualize anything, in that instance you just "know" what to do or what your intentions are.

I've also noticed this implicit knowing of intention when I'm daydreaming or dreaming and I'll "know" without knowing how I know, for example a characters intentions in a dream or the overall intention of the dream itself, so that feeling of intent extends out beyond just actions and into general info or intentions of others (in a dream/daydream)

But yeah in general it is a kind of "feeling" its wrong to call it nonsensory but a very subtle feeling, not even an emotion because that comes after the thought is first consciously experienced and can be pleasant or unpleasant or neutral, depending on the thought/its context.

Yes and the reverse apparently too because while writing that out certain choice words or phrases did come to mind verbally, even sub-vocalized, even under my breath so that does happen both ways it seems. I suppose the degree of how often it happens one way or the other can vary, and perhaps be trained towards one direction or the other, a balance is possible too. So much variation.

>because it feels like there is a huge separation between the 'inner' and 'outer' world
Holy shit yes, you put it into words better than I could that's exactly what it feel like.

>I have noticed that practicing inner monologue and in general taking the time to verbalise thoughts and feelings makes it easier to communicate them and organise them.
Yeah but it still feels unnatural at times, for example if I want to say something to someone if I practice speaking it in my head with my inner voice it feels super unnatural and difficult to then repeat that same sentence to someone in real life, word for word. Hell even if I have these daydreams where I get my words across to someone when describing something or whatever it never turns out that way in real life and I default to my natural method of speaking without needing to know the exact words and sentence I'm going to say but just the general idea of it which is then communicated as succinctly as possible using the right words as they are spoken

I guess it could be described as a more intuitive way of thinking, I don't know.
