When I try to imagine a simple solid yellow circle fixed in place I can't. Immediately my mind transforms it into something else. It starts disintegrating into different parts, changing color, moving, the background changes color, it starts flashing, it turns into a tunnel or bends in 3D space, it turns into 10 different circles and shapes or all of the above. I suppose this shows that my mind is chaotic. I'd love to have control over the images in my mind but for me I'm just an observer with little influence. Even a solid colour is challenging but I can usually hold a faint solid colour with no shape for a few seconds.
- mrd999 7y agoWhen I close my eyes I just see a dull flashing pattern, similar to tv static. If I try to imagine a simple solid yellow circle.. well this is weird but I feel like my consciousness 'spreads' out as though it was an audience of ants in a stadium, and the circle floats in the center. But, I don't really 'see' it.. rather, the countless ants each knows the circle is there and they each contribute a brief chattering about what they see. So I 'know' I'm visualizing a yellow circle, and I can nimbly focus on what various parts/aspects look like.. but it's more a collective knowledge than a visual scene like my eyes present.
