No. The image is real but it is an image of something that is not real.So a non-real physical image?
Look, there is no mystery here. You can draw a unicorn. The drawing is real. The unicorn depicted is not.

An image in our head, like the image of a red ball, can't actually interact with the universe, can it?

Well if a unicorn is not physical then you better explain this to the unicorn I have in my back yard.Ok, great. The unicorn depicted. Is that a non-physical thing?
Nice questions, basic in Hinduism or Buddhism.When I create an image of a table in my head, is that image physical or non-physical?
If it is physical, what are its physical properties?
If it is non-physical does it even exist?
If we can mentally see that which doesn't exist, how do we see it?
Does reality contain both the physical and non-physical, i.e. the mental images we can create?
If so, is there a relationship between the non-physical and the spiritual?
Non-physical cannot be said to exist.Does the non-physical exist in our universe.
That's right. The red ball does NOT exist in our universe. It ONLY exists as a mental image in your head. And that mental image in your head exists due to the firing of neurons on your physical brain.
There are no unicorns, right? So unicorns are not physical. The Star Ship Enterprise does not exist. So it is not physical.Ok, great. The unicorn depicted. Is that a non-physical thing?
