This is somewhat based on the game Psychonaughts as well as the episode of Red Dwarf where a planet is Arnold Rimmer's mind. Quite frequently I imagine what happens in my mind a lot as if it was an actual planet.

For me, I feel like the center of my mind is a towering silver city, much like Minas Tirith from LotR, where there is a large divide separating the two sides of masculine and feminine qualities. Only a system of bridges establish connection between the two. Surrounding the city is a vast verdant plain that extends for miles and into the mountains. Overhead the weather is always overcast and quite frequently the clouds will rain. However the inhabitants of the city do not mind the rain, for whenever the rain pours down it means that the mind is at a state of peace. Several entities guard the entrance to the city including several characters that were long since used from my stories. Higher than them is the White Dragon which protects the core beliefs engine that resides at the very center of the city.

You don't have to mention anything too personal. Just have some fun and be creative.

EDIT at 10:35: There is one entity inside my mind that controls the erasing of memories, both consciously and subconsciously. His name is Oblivion and dwells in an unbeknownst part of the mind. Some of the inhabitants believe he lives adjacent to the Core of Beliefs but just unseen. Oblivion is a vast swirling fiery whirlpool. Any memory, feeling, or habit that is wished to be destroyed can be with his power, that is if said item is weak enough to become destroyed.

Some middle aged guy with a beard sitting at a desk covered in paperwork in a small, dark room.

Anyone who sees your post will somehow become a better person by seeing it.

A while ago a had a dream that my mind was a game of Pacman in a green, Matrix-esque tint.
Felt very dizzy the entire day...

In all seriousness though I would think my brain would kinda look like the cover to Radioheads - Kid A

My mind is probably a small library or a study in a state of organized mess (stacks of books, papers, and piles of stuff spread across tables, desks, and the floor) and whatever my self image is would jump from being lethargic to workaholic depending on what had to be done.

Simple, a large cavernous planet with two defined sides.A side covered in darkness and waspish clouds full of my inner demon which has a tendency of pure ecstasy in the so happy it is annoying way and then there is a happy meadow for the other half with giant teddy bears prancing around with chainsaws killing each other as people run for cover and giant blood sparrows circle the skies engulfing everything in their path and at the equator line,there is a small 6 year old playing games and having fun while surrounded by all the creatures and people that I have ever made up.Life is good when your mind is shaped like a silver screen pokeball

My brain would look like a political room, such as the Senate, and each emotion or idea has a seat in it and when I think of something, it is an issue that comes up, and is promptly handled by the emotions(which look like me, but wearing costumes that fit the emotion, such as happiness wears bright colours, anger wears Samurai armour, etc.) and if I am confused or have no idea what to do, they duke it out like most of the political people do in SouthEast Asia that I hear about on the news sometimes.

I'd say it's a completely white room with no doors or windows, and two manifestations of myself.

Both are complete opposites of one another, where one is calmly rational, while the other hotheaded and enthusiastic. One is optimistic, while the other is cynical and so forth.

In any given situation, the two would fight, and whoever wins affects my own judgement.

My mind is a sphere, split between 2 factions that are constantly warring...

The first is the "Outside Me", the side that I project to people. It is the good that people see in me and that most people believe makes up the most part of me...

The Second is the "Inside Me", the side that only a few choice people truly know (and only I understand). It is the me that people would not comprehend the entirety of. It is the me that cannot ever see the light of the real world, which is why the Outside keeps it contained within...

Even though both sides are polar opposites they compliment each-other, they need each-other.

That sounds like Herman's Head, except weirder.

It's black as night, with not a beacon of light in sight. Specters stalk the dark plains, attacking anything resembling a sane thought. Innocents hide in boarded houses, muttering prayers in their naivety. Fortunately, the sun always rises, and anything resembling doubt and stress vanishes with the warming rays. The plains become fertile, and the people prosper, but fear always linger in the backs of their minds.

Or something like that, fuck if I know, I ain't going in there.

One of the best bad TV shows of all time. Objectively poorly written and poorly acted (the writing led Hank Azaria to coin the term "Idiot Ball" for which character would commit that week's totally out-of-character brainfart in a TV series), but immensely entertaining nonetheless.

I'd imagine something akin to Rapture (Bioshock), but instead of being disjointed and full of a ravaged populace, it would be a quiet, clean place. Distinguished. A place to be alone, but not lonely.

A place where you could either behold the beauty of craftsman the world over, or reflect on the simple serenity that can only be had miles beneath the surface of the ocean, away from the pollution that is man.

For the interior, I imagine something like Sirrus' room from Myst, on the boat-island.
