After speaking with enough people about this topic, I can assure you it's not just a difference of language. It's incredible what friends, family and coworkers have told me they're able to do with visual imagery. A large port

I have aphantasia, an absolute 0 on the visualization scale. Not sure about LSD, but I've had vivid open and closed-eye visuals on quite large doses of psilocybin. Even though those visuals tend to lean more to the involuntary side, it
