Pretty sure that they have vivid dreams like everyone else. The aphantasia is limited to the topic of conjuring visual imaginations while awake.
- fzzzy 2y agoNah. Some people don't remember dreams.
- idunnoman1222 2y agoAll right, how about when you’re tired or drifting off to sleep? I can certainly see things vividly in my mind I during those times. It seems to me that being awake suppresses such visualizations, and that this is adaptive.
- zaphoyd 2y agoI have complete aphantasia when awake, but I do have visuals when dreaming. I can tell when I cross some threshold of awake-ness because the visuals of the dream I am having disappear (the dream usually continues, without visuals for a bit longer until I am more awake). It is a weird experience.
- jdbernard 2y agoNo. I replied in a sibling comment, but even in the few dreams I remember there is no visual image at all.
