Me neither 🤔
Maybe it goes with aphantasia
Conversation
I'm starting to feel everyone's aphantasic. (Or aphantastic, as it should be.)
I first talked about it in 2016 on a call with with ~6 or 7 people, mostly artists. "1% of the population are aphantastic". Turned out ~half of 'em were both aphantastic & synaesthetic.

Wait.
Serious question:
so if I say “a stop sign”
…you absolutely cannot sense even a red octagon in your mind?
If you have a bowl,
then look away to fill a cup with water, you can’t even “feel” whether that will be too little/much water for the bowl without direct eyesight?

We solve these problems better in 11-dimensional spacetime actually 😇

You can’t even see a stop sign!?
That’s nuts. Like I get it, but I’d give up my eyesight before my visual-spatial sense. My cognition is way over-indexed on it to a fault, like I see my words when I speak slowly.
You see dreams though, right?
*star wars meme* …right?

Okay, I’ll resign but I just need a confirmation that one of you is dead serious: you don’t have visible dreams when you sleep?
Like ~95% of mine are wiped from memory if I don’t recall them within minutes of waking, but not even forgettable visible dreams even ~10% of nights?
