You can say any of these (single-word verbs), depending on nuance:

- imagined — general mental formation of something
- visualized (visualised) — formed a clear mental image; emphasizes sight
- pictured — directly matches “pictured something in one’s mind”
- envisioned (envisaged) — pictured, often with a future/plan sense
- conceived — came up with or formed the idea (more abstract)
- fancied — informal, more like a whimsical mental image
- dreamed — imagined, often more vivid or fanciful

Examples:
- She imagined a quiet life by the sea.
- He visualized the layout before drafting the plan.
- I pictured the room with new furniture.
- They envisioned a future without traffic.
