I have aphantasia, yet I dream in full color. My whole life when I’d hear people say “imagine your relaxing on a beach” or count sheep jumping a fence”, I didn’t know they could actually “watch the movie” in their head. One advantage of having aphantasia is when I lay down to go to sleep, I see perfect pitch black and have no visual distractions. I loved your imagine truth and justice examples, I will use those to explain to people what I see in the future. If I lay still and try really hard, I can sometimes visualize simple objects for a fleeting moment. The best what I can describe it is like when you close your eyes after someone shines a flash light in your eyes and that bright image fades away quickly.

>"One advantage of having aphantasia is when I lay down to go to sleep, I see perfect pitch black and have no visual distractions." As someone who does have visualization, however limited - in my case there's no image "on the eyelids". It's only as distracting as inner monologue (if you have it voiced in your head) and can be subdued either by focusing on something else or letting it flow without giving any actual consideration. As for how it feels - somewhat similar to mental math in terms of keeping track of details and the brainspace it's happening in.

the best way i can describe how my mind works with aphantasia is: imagine you have a computer where you can research any info you want, including images and videos but the screen is painted black, u can't actually SEE anything but somehow you still have access to all the info that the computer gives you, you are still able to understand perfectly any image that is showed in the computer, u just dont literally see anything :')

@ceilesi

@x-r-s

Yes, exactly. I "know" what my home looks like if I imagine it, I just can't "see" it as an image on a screen. It's like I have access to the information contained in the image, but no the image itself. I can see things in my dreams though, even in vivid colors and details on rare occasions. I think it comes down to whether we are able to willfully simulate visual stimuli in our heads. It's probably similar to how some people don't have an inner voice. They probably "know" their thoughts the way that we "know" what an imagined object looks like, they just can't simulate the sound in their heads. I assume that people without aphantasia only "see" imagined objects if they close their eyes, so if they want to know what aphantasia is like, then they could try to imagine an apple while their eyes are still open. If my assumption is correct, then they won't actually see the apple when doing this, but they will still somehow have access to information about how it looks. For me it's like that even when my eyes are closed.

I will never understand the concept of "seeing" things purely by imagining. The closest I can get is dreaming but that still seems like a long way from consciously deciding to picture an image in front of you whilst being disconnected from it

as a person with aphantasisa, I wanted to try an experiment. I drew a simple cartoony cat, then took a good look at it, closed my eyes, and tried to draw it. It looked like a zucchini. I kept trying, and I got kind of close to drawing it perfectly. The only reason I was able to draw it was not because I was imagining an image in my head, but because I could (non-visually) remember where the pencil marks were.

Aphantasia isn't all that rare in my experience.

As someone with Aphantasia myself, on the scale of 'nearly nothing' in mental imagery, I can say it's a little complicated and depends on how the person is centered. I am centered around the 'feel' of a place, person, or thing. Not actual touch, but an impression of it. A person can have a warm 'feeling' about them, and your home can 'feel' safe. I go largely off of that, myself. I'm sure other people go based off of other things.

My friend has aphantasia, I forget a lot and ask things like, “how do you think this hair would look on me?” I feel really bad when I forget and he tells me for the billionth time that he can’t picture things.

Those clip reconstructions are actually incredibly similar to what my imagination looks like. I've always described as being vague, blurry impressions mixed with a sort of inner dialogue of knowledge that "fills in" the missing finer details. I know they're there, i just can't picture them. The image is also faded and colors are muted, but not completely colorless. What I'm imagining usually exists in an empty void unless I'm deliberately conjuring an environment. Strong moods can influence that void to become a generic background, or a specific place I'm familiar with. But its still quite blurred and morphs and shifts slightly. If i focus really hard sometimes I can get the image to get sharper or more detailed but it fades in and out, i can't control it well, and sometimes it doesn't work at all

i don't have aphantasia, but your description of how you visualize is much more vivid than i experience. i can call to mind vague images of things, fluctuating outlines, splotches of color, the general vibe of depth of a form, but i can only really maintain one such detail at a time. but i'm really good at math, which feels to me like a surprisingly visual discipline; whether that's mentally performing algebra on visualized math symbols, or coming up with and manipulating visuals of systems which exhibit a particular relation in one or more of their properties, etc.. it'd be interesting to see how my mental models/methods compare to those of near-aphantasic artists.

I’ve noticed that depending on your sleep habits dictate how vividly your dreams are and how well you remember them. If you stay up late and sleep in, especially if your body isn’t used to it, your dreams are usually very vivid and you can remember them like a story. And other times you just can’t. Sometimes, if I had a dream and I remembered every single event I’d write a story out of them. It great when your mind makes its own little stories

So everyone's drawing their apples and I'm thinking "oh so I just draw a generic apple" and the teacher said to me "no, picture it in your mind" and I just blinked at her and said "But I can't, no-one can" she thought I was lying 🤷🏾‍♀️👏🏾😂

I think of things way too deeply most of the time, Its like being self aware in a way. It is scary an shes caused me OCD and anxiety, this video is an AMAZING way to describe things like this, Solarsands in general really is amazing.

when i writing a book and daydreaming about it or getting inspiration and seeing images and full scenes in my head and even sentences, after i written it down in a document and reading it back its like it wasnt the scene i fully had in my head and its sometimes so frustrating but also quite interesting and fascinating that the mind is so different than real life. same happens for me with artwork (painting and drawing) i have it different in my head but my skills never match my imagination. maybe i imagine too vivid or my imagination is dreamlike. probably the reason i remember much of my dreams (and actually have a kind of Nightmare Disorder i developed though it could be just normal dreams that are vivid in my mind when trying to know what i dreamed of). Ocasionaly i have lucid dreams but the worst part about it is that when i'm trying too hard to get lucid it wouldnt work but when i'm not even trying i become lucid but because of not expecting it i lose it quickly or just wake up in another dream. reading books when i try to imagine the characters, sometimes its very hard. when writing story's i have visuals in my head and actually hear my characters talk when i'm writing said dialogue. so maybe i'm one of those people who have Hyperfantasia?! maybe, but i'm not sure.

I think you are correct with the comparison. As somebody who can't imagine very well (red Apple shaped blob with a stem) I go by feeling. When I am told to think about a house, I have a feeling associated with it. It's the house feeling. Same with music. My mum says she can visualise the sheet music in front of her to read off of but for me, it's a feeling. This note feels like the right note to play after this one to make this melody. Imo it's an asset with music. Since I go by feeling, I pay attention to making it sound right instead of playing each note robotically off of an imaginary piece of sheet music. Gives me an edge in tone.

This really makes me think about well the way I think. I consider myself a very good visualizer when anyone says or mentions anything I visualize it. When I read a book I am visualize it like a movie playing in my mind while I read the words. The things that I visualize are often very very clear, this also happens when I dream. My dreams are often very detailed and usually in color. I rarely ever think something without visualizing it unless it's a concept. I can also visualize things I've never seen, especially landscapes. I think this is one of the main reasons why I find art so difficult. Because I have this perfect picture of it imagined in my mind but I have a really hard time putting it on paper (mostly because of lack of skill) I'll try to look up references that look exactly like what I'm thinking of but they're really hard to find (sometimes impossible)

I quite like the interesting psychological topics you delve into in your videos now. Prof fancies the essays I write about things like this.

I have been reflecting on a similar subject for two decades, in regards to music. As a composer of classical music, I often have dreams in which I enjoy listening to music, often through speakers or headphones, except... this music had never been written before! my mind composes it live, layers upon layers of beautifully orchestrated parts, in the most vivid way possible. When I wake up, this ability to auralize original music seems to vanish as if it never existed. I can play recorded opuses entirely from beginning to end (and I often do), but new music? that's a whole different story. The mind works in mysterious ways... and like a good scientist, I will continue to catch that elusive particle until I find it!

As a kid, I remember I used to "break" my mind's eye. I'd imagine something so vivid and then go into more and more detail until I just went blank and wasn't able to imagine anything for the next hour or so

5:23 Hit me like a brick wall. I've thought for a while that I have aphantasia but because I'm artistic (designing crochet) I didn't think I could have it. But I'm on the verge of tears because there are actually people that struggle with visualizing things in my mind and still can make things. I have to have several reference photos and videos to make things freehand, but I can make them pretty accurately. And even thinking of the designs I make, they're very minimalist with 1-2 extremely distinct features letting you know what it is (wings and nose of a bat, nose and tail of a fox, gills and tail of an axolotl). I guess it's easy for me to do that because I don't really "see" those things in my mind, but more see the "concept" of what those things would look like. Idk, probably need to finally tell my therapist or doctor about this. Just had to share my self revelation.

This reminds me of the mental pains of drawing illusion artwork. If you stare at the possibilities too long, you'll end up thinking simple things like tree stumps are leprechauns or abstract business signs are people standing next to the building (when stared at from a distance). Luckily for the non-artists, you can view these pieces in a few seconds or trip out on them longer to see into our imaginations, without being stuck with visual inconsistencies of an illness.

i have hypophantasia (like aphantasia, but i have a small ability to visually imagine something). when i ‘see’ something in my mind, i get parts of a whole in some blurry messed up shape. if i think of an event, it’s usually myself describing each movement. i can dream, and i dream extremely vividly, but when i wake up everything is gone, no matter if it was a good dream, a lucid dream or a nightmare. it sucks, and i’ve had to get my friends to relay information such as simple directions to somewhere, who a person i’ve seen regularly or just let is, or who a character in a movie is if they are in a common uniform within the film. i cannot draw without tracing, or making key marks and constantly moving everything around, so i do exclusively digital art to draw. i am a quite creative person, but in very word-based subjects (such as creative free-righting).

Man mine's a little confusing, sometimes i can see a whole picture, mostly stuff I have seen already. Other times, I think when imagining a scene, I can't really focus on all of it at once and for details i have to isolate whatever it is and zoom in. I suppose my mind's eye is a little blurry.. that, or I can't properly visualize on command lol

When I was younger my imagination was so vivid that sometimes in the dark I would see faint hallucinations of things. I’ve also always been able to picture images in my mind but it feels like the image just isn’t there, like it’s behind my physical eyes. I have no idea on the quality of the images though, but usually I only focus on one aspect. Like if I think of my house I just see my house but I have the knowledge of everything else that’s there. I don’t see anything else until I think about it though. What I mean by this is that if I think of my house I just have a general image of what it roughly looks like. When I think about the roof, I can see the exact shade and material. When I think of the garden I can visualise the plants there. Kind of like a microscope. Looking at an image is like looking at something out of focus, but I can focus on particular parts of the one image to make them clearer. On another note, I can imagine music extremely vividly. It’s just like listening to the actual thing. While my memory of lyrics might not be 100% accurate, I can imagine the beat and instruments very vividly. I can basically listen to music whenever I want. Maybe my visual imagination is below or around average but my auditory imagination is very high. One more thing, with the apple test, I can very easily imagine the apple in those circumstances. I can imagine what it’s like after taking a bite, I can imagine it in a table and casting a shadow. I can grab it and move it around but the animation quality of my mind feels like I took a video at 3 fps and got a computer to generate the frames in between to get it to 60fps. I only vividly imagine the starting image and the end image, but I can faintly see the process or animation. It’s a lot easier to visualise things I’ve seen, imagining something new usually results in a less vivid image. I can remember some of my dreams though. Not all of them, but if something stood out to me I can remember it, but I’m usually reminded of it through an experience the following day. Edit: I do have an internal monologue as well

This has me wondering how good my visual imagination is. I can usually conjure up a pretty clear image in my head. Like for the apple, I can very clearly pull up the image. I usually think of a red apple, fairly round, and I can clearly sere the color gradients between the red and yellow, as well as the small color patterns all around it. My artistic ability outside of music is dismal though, so drawing it would be beyond me. I would imagine that reading so much when I was younger helped a lot. If it's a book, I can clearly see the whole entire setting and move around within it quite easily, with perfect detail. It's great for things like remembering spelling or directions, becaus4e I can clearly see the word or route in my head. But I have no idea where that would fall on the spectrum. I would imagine fairly high though

I must be pretty unusual based on the descriptions given, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was simply due to the relatively low amount of research that has been done. I have aphantasia but also extremely vivid dreams I can recall and recount fairly easily if I think about them right away after waking up. I have lucid dreams pretty frequently, too. My dreams tend to have elements of all senses - taste, touch, smell, weight, etc. including sometimes feeling tired and wanting to go to sleep, even though I already am.

I created my first machines using my imagination when I was just three or four years old. Many of the inventions I later detailed on paper eventually became a reality, though not by my doing, because I lack the financial means. For example, I envisioned an electromagnet-powered levitating train similar to the one in Japan before I knew it existed. However, my version operated in a vacuum tube to minimize air resistance at high speeds and featured doors that would align with the tube using suction. A computer program would facilitate this by automatically initiating a docking procedure. All these ideas came to me when I was just 14 or 15 years old. Now, at 25, I am planning to start my own businesses after college.

I'm an artist with aphantasia! I didn't realise that I did all those things mentioned in learning to draw and paint as well! I also think that learning art improved my mind's eye somewhat as well. From absolute nothing to a sort of blurry darkness with the vague impression of parts of it.

@@lloyddragon2036 for what it's worth, it is also very hard for "normal" people to comprehend what it must be like not being able to visualize anything in your mind. I just recently found out that most of my friends think with a voice in their head and as they were describing those voices I came to realize that I hardly ever think with a voice in my head. Words and thoughts pop in but I, for the life of me, can't hear a voice. This was as weird to them as it was for me, as I had thought that the "voice in your head" was just thoughts that pop in that you FEEL the meaning of, not one that you can mentally assign a voice to.

​@@travisumbel6877 Out of curiosity, do you hear words when you read them? I'm not sure if I can actually read a word without pronouncing it in my mind, but now I'm trying I certainly can't. If I've seen it enough times I might just be able to recognise it as a pattern (e.g. a number plate) and know what it represents without further thought but I couldn't do that with most things I actually try to read without at least hearing them in my mind.

A weird side effect I have from anti anxiety medication is that I can remember vividly many dreams I've had since childhood. Any dream that made me feel shocked, scared, happy, they're all stocked there, somewhere, and I can now access them. The weirder part is that I sometimes wonder if I dreamt something or actually had it happen in real life.

I can see visuals in my head, in fact when I zone out I imagine entire scenes in my head and they look realistic. I can also think of things just as the things, I can imagine the idea of things, and the visual of it.

I respect how you did the face reveal. No 10-minute long video about your face, no dramatic reveal, none of that over the top spammy nonsense. Just popped on camera and didn't even acknowledge it.

I felt that on an other level 😬

It's been two years, but another perspective: I'm not sure if I straight up have aphantasia because I don't know how literal being able to see something in your mind really is, but I'm definitely on the lower end. Instead of seeing, hearing, smelling, et cetera, I moreso... *feel*. I experience concepts. Rather abstract, as you'd assume experiencing something would involve your senses, but not really. It's very much like "knowing" the concepts of non-concrete terms, but also like having a bad fever. When you're super sick, you stop really taking in a lot of sensory information in the same way. The bedroom you're in doesn't have a table, bed, and chair, rather it's a familiar area you feel safe and comfortable in and you can recognize that visually. There is a "visual" element to it, but it's not exactly fuzzy or undefined, nor do I actually "see" it, rather it's a recollection of the things that make the experience of something familiar. The apple test frustrates me a lot, actually. I'm an artist myself, and I have never been able to shade. The apple in my mind is generic, cartoonish, with the big triangular shine, always oriented to the right. I cannot conceptualize the movement of a light source and how that affects the way things look. It's especially frustrating because, of course, I'm not even actually seeing an apple. I'm experiencing it. I never even know how to report that sort of thing, I don't know if the visual element is actually just what it's supposed to be and nobody actually "sees" anything when thinking of it, or if my "visual" element isn't really visual at all and a completely different experience.

I feel your frustration...

Not sure if I'm overthinking, but when I try the apple trick, I can be _aware_ of the contents of the apple, the shape it should portray, and the shine and color of what an apple should look like, but its not like anything actually that "vivid". I like thinking of it similar to that of a "screen" above my field of vision that I am looking at, similar to what you might do when looking above your computer/phone's screen or perhaps more of an overlay of your vision that you aren't actually seeing, but more like "recalling" a memory visually over what you're seeing. Try laying down on your side and putting something to partially obstruct either your left or right eye (I used a pillow) and simply attempt to switch your "main control and perception" to either eye (you'll see what I mean if you set it up right, seeing the pillow "engulf" your vision when switching to the partially obstructed eye). It's sort of similar to that, seeing the apple or whatever as your main focus when nothing is actually changing to what your eyes can see. Might've just explained the definition of "imagining" but seeing that I do not have anyone else to reflect off of, might as well tell this to a bunch of strangers pondering the same topic.
