I'm curious about that part. Does that mean you also don't get that weird thing where you hear like, people chattering/ music/ something falling down just before you fall asleep? Or are dreams/half-asleep hallucinations not affected by aphantasia?
What the hell are you on about??
Probably Hypnogogic hallucination, which is a normal and common transitional phase between wakefulness and sleep characterized by vivid hallucinations incorporating any or all senses.
I didn't even know that was a thing. That's really cool. I've never experienced that
I have this too. Music, people, simulated falling, stuff like that right before I fall asleep. I always thought this was common?
Nope. I don't think that's common at all. Maybe the occasional monkey reflex where my body thinks I'm gonna fall off a tree and yanks me awake, but that's it.
Yea if you’re possessed by a demon maybe /jk
Never had this. I eather fall asleep and wake up later. Or I’m getting half-awake dreams, where I’m not I’m still a bit in control at first, but then lose control. (I know I’m dreaming, I just can’t steer it
Never experienced it and never heard anyone else mention it before.
I would like to know more
Auditory hallucinations aren't as common as you seem to think haha. I have them too sometimes.
Or is it that auditory hallucinations are strongly associated (not clinically, just the way they are always talked about) with bad mental health problems like schizophrenia, which makes them taboo, so people choose not to talk about them, even to doctors?
I get auditory, gustatory, and olfactory hallucinations all the time, due to chronic headache and migraines. Wish I got visual ones too, just for the variety, but alas. I hate peanut butter so so much (my most common hallucination is the smell or taste of peanut butter). My auditory hallucinations aren’t usually voices talking, though, they tend to be cats meowing or chickens yelling, because that’s what I hear most frequently in my daily life, so that’s what I’m trained to listen for.
Apparently dreams aren't necessarily affected by aphantasia.
I feel like when I do have dreams they are extremely vivid and real because I am seeing my thoughts which isn't normal.
Wait, what? Is that something people experience?
.. I think so? Never questioned it honestly, guess I'll have to do some research now haha
