> - He never heard anyone talk about dreams I have vivid dreams. I don't usually remember them, but occasionally enough, and the images are as real as it gets. > - He never had a teacher tell anyone to read in their heads I can easily read in my read, but there's no internal imagery involved. I'm looking at something with my eyes and reading it to myself. > - He never saw anyone draw or paint or sketch except directly in front of the object of their art I can barely draw. When I do, I'm drawing on memory, but I don't "see" anything in any meaningful sense. If you ask me to draw a dog, I can wing it, but I couldn't draw a specific dog, even my own pet. I can sorta draw simple shapes like a specific cartoon dog (maybe Snoopy), but other people likely wouldn't recognize it as such. If I were to try to draw a picture of Snoopy standing next to Brian Griffin, you wouldn't be able to tell which was which, and neither would be that close to the real thing. > - He never saw someone try to remember the numbers in a PIN or other code by following their mental image When I remember numbers, it's never visual. I don't think about how I type a PIN or a phone number. I once memorized the first 100 digits of pi to see if I could. I could, but it took a few hours over a couple weeks, and I can only remember about 10 now. It doesn't involve visualization at all. I've always had a good memory for facts/figures/numbers/trivia, but none of it involves visual aids. If anything, I find visual memory tricks to be a layer of abstraction that makes it harder for me to remember the underlying information. > - He never heard about someone having a photographic memory You hear about this in popular culture and fictional media all the time, but I question how prevalent it really is. The only person I can recall who really demonstrated it is Stephen Wiltshire[1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wiltshire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Wiltshire
