To “in mind”,

Hi,
Are there two kinds of “in” to “in mind”?
[perceive]to have knowledge of something through the mind
its image chart:
Through the mind or in the mind
-------------------------------------------
Knowledge -------it is the effector of the action
Perceives
--------------------
The perceiver ------it is the receptor of the action
  1. The first question is Does the “in” stand for “under / through”because "per" = through?
[intend] to have as a purpose in the mind
Its image chart:
As a purpose
Something
Has / intends
He
-------------------------------------------------------
So that it is included in his mind as a part

2. The second question is “Does the “in” stand for “being included in / covering”?


Thans a lot for your help.

'To have in mind' is the intent to perform something in the future. 'Perceive' is to have an image or an understanding in your mind, which can include the intent to perform something in the future, but also includes the larger subset of having visions, imagination, and achieving understanding, not just mundane intention to do something. So your spouse might ask 'what do you have in mind', meaning your intent to perform an action, when you might offer, 'I see in my mind a long vacation away from the mobs and its relentless 24-hour reality," meaning you are perceiving the insight that maybe you should take a vacation.

PeterTI see in my mind a long vacation away from the mobs and its relentless 24-hour reality,"
I want to grasp the image reflected in your mind of the "see"or "have got" or "understand".

Is that your reflection on it, "a long vacation comes in my mind " ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
