Aphantasia ???? never knew I had it

Also, aphantasia causes the brain and fingers to ignore each other when typing !!!

Apparently it is common with people with aphantasia to dream vividly.

Dreaming, I think I dream fairly vividly, but as I can never remember dreams it is somewhat difficult to be sure, but I know I dream about specific people, so I must be visualising them during a dream. (As I can remember it was Linda Lucardi last night )

However, I am very "visual".

I'm hopeless at most word association stuff, I remember doing a test once and the researcher said "stone" and I replied with "frog", because my reaction to the word was to "see" an overhanging stone, with rain dripping off it and a frog sheltering beneath it

pomp!!!

Very interesting and new to me. Pompa, can you dream? That must be difficult
without visualising.

Reading many of the comments people confuse memory wit visualisation. I can remember quite accurately the house I lived in as a teenager, and could draw a detailed plan of it, but that is from memory, I cannot see a picture of it in my mind at all. This does explain why I have difficulty describing faces as I cannot visualise the image, I can only remember specific features, and I would have to have seen the person for a while for the memory to set in my brain.
I have never hough that I was any different, until now, Mrs P can visualise well and our daughter even better, she cannot comprehend not being able to see a mental image. (I did a couple of tests and scored zilch.)

40 out of 40 !

I didn't realise people couldn't see things in their "mind's eye" either but I have often wondered what those who have been blind from birth "see" when they dream.

34 out of 40. I scored highly on natural vision and reasonably on friends face etc. Although if I had to envision my children or grandchildren it would have been very high as well

I was listening to this yesterday morning. I didn't realize people couldn't!!!!
