I'm at 0/10 for visualising, total blackness. I'd have to do that via a word picture - like reading a dictionary definition for integrity and thinking about and exploring the concepts.
Yet somehow, there is a non visual spatial sense to this, so I could sort-of know - more like a muscle memory of knowing how far to turn a dial, or how far to reach to scratch my toe - if the planned pyramid were going to overlap with a wall.
Visualisation in a way that completely phases those with pictorial ability. :)
- ecoled_ame 7y agoHave you tried LSD or DMT? And what about when you pull up to do a skateboard trick or something? Can't you visualize yourself doing the trick? Or what about sexual fantasies? I feel like you're being stubborn.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoI have, and yep there were definite clear and strong visual hallucinations, with my eyes open (as far as I can remember). I'd never heard of aphantasia back then so I had no concept I wasn't just the same as everyone else. So there was no closing my eyes and trying to visualise on acid... I'd do skateboard or cycling by the seat of my pants - it's more a feel, a spatial sense, and a muscle memory thing again. I can definitely get a sense of doing it, so perhaps it stems more from touch than sight? Same with the sexual - it's the concept, the thought, the emotion, the feels. The sense of touch is definitely quite strong here. Visual needs pornhub. Sorry! :)
- ecoled_ame 7y agoHaha thank you for taking the time to answer. Have a great day.
