I just can't conceive of

So you're having trouble imagining...

A very good friend of mine is apahantasiac, and he has a great imagination, it's just that he can't picture stuff when imagining, rather it's verbsl information. He's great at weaving tales, and he's a wonderful writer, he just doesn't see pictures in his mind when he uses them, he describes it as it being kind of "all feeling, all concepts".

He barely remembers dreams, but when he does he just remember how he felt snd the interactions he had.

Imagine the thing where you can't imagine having aphantasia but it's for imagining other things.

It's kinda weird, but I think I have a more minor aphantasia? Like, I hallucinate, sometimes vividly, but when I'm trying to visualize something, I just see blackness, sometimes a vague shape in the dark. I do dream, but I usually don't remember much visual information except sometimes the shapes of things. My other senses, however, I can stimulate pretty much whenever and however I want. I can just say to my brain, "Do I taste blood?" And within a couple minutes, I'll taste blood.

I do (albeit rarely) "seeing" in dreams is disconnected from being unable to visualize things while awake, at least in my case.

I am totally, I do dream vivid nightmares. I cannot picture anything, I thought it was a metaphor my whole life.

I have an extremely detailed and resilient memory that is entirely textual descriptions. E.g. if you ask where the jam is I think something like fridge -> glass jar -> plastic tray of condiments - top left -> secondarily between the neighbouring tray if misplaced

I have an extremely vivid imagination, adore daydreaming, adore fantasy, adore roleplay.

Im aphantasiac, I see visual images when dreaming. I'm not sure bc i have no baseline to compare it with, but it feels like aphantasia makes it harder for me to tell dreams from reality bc i'm just not used to seeing stuff that isnt there. I really dont like dreaming much bc of this

I do not have it completely but some form of it. I see some things in details, other things are like I don't have glasses and have bad vision. It's honestly gotten worse with age. I have horribly vivid dreams to the point that I miss sleeping without dreaming. I like taking pictures because often it helps a lot when I recall something I often see the picture more clearly.
