How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger’s, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see ‘aphant’ as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?
I’ve read about this many times but the articles never address dreaming. Do aphants not dream?
If they do, why does that ability disappear when they are awake?
I dream and super vividly sometimes. My pet theory is that the hardware is all there but the neural connections aren’t there during my waking time.
I have been able to visualize things in that brief waking time on a few rare occasions; it felt super weird to me and honestly somewhat scary.
Dunno, yes I dream in video, apparently disappears when awake.
