If you have aphantasia, you can't "see it in your minds eye", but that does not mean I can't imagine what it looks like.
I know the distinction both from comparing with dreams, where I do see, and with a single experience during meditation (which I've tried many times but so far failed to replicate). They're nothing alike what it is to "imagine" for me.
