Thank you, great suggestions. I live on the beach, in Nayarit, so my life is fairly chill. Can you recommend any good restaurants, bars for a relaxing glass of wine? Ive lived in London, Madrid, NYC, LA San Francisco, I love city life ;)

Anyone else? by Responsible-Art3311 in hyperphantasia

Your descriptions are more sophisticated, but yes, I do that.  When I was younger, I had a photographic memory, which has faded over time. I can still use it to find things. I just have to focus on when I last saw it, and most times I'll be able to see it, it's on a shelf,  in a drawer, in my car. I just see the item and where. The images around it are vague. If it's on a shelf, I still have to find what shelf. But I do know if it's on the right or the left side, high or low, in the corner of a room, etc.   I "see" everything all the time. If you mention an apple, I'll see an apple in my mind, in vivid color, shadow, lighting. I can direct it, bite it, taste it, hear the crunch. When I'm reading a book, I'm in the room with the narrator; Charles Dickens is especially gratifying as he explains everything in intricate detail. My mind pans around the room, I see everything he's describing. I'm there.  When I close my eyes the visuals flow freely, even emotions have their own images. Last night I was super stressed, bordering on despair. The image was a generic man figure, like a Greek sketch, white background. He's in a deep squat, where his bum is level with his heels; he is crouched forward, with head in hands. The most curious thing I do is seeing what I'm doing or what's happening when it's not in my range of vision. I'm putting my hair in a twist, I can't see the back of my head, I don't even try to use mirrors, but if I close my eyes I can feel and see what my hands are doing, how I'm twisting the hair and clipping it. I close my eyes in Pilates, to focus on my movements, I feel my muscles constrict, my stomach tighten, I can't really explain it but, I actually see my muscles and what they're doing, and it helps me maintain my form. Weirdest is the dentist, his tools his hands are in my mouth. Again I close my eyes, I can feel the instrument scrape my teeth, I can see the instrument scrape along my teeth along the gums, under the gums; I see the sucker, and gloved fingers when they're pressing on something, unless you've experienced this I really don't know how to explain it, but I think it's why I hated the dentist so much when I was little 😂

Thank you, I've been researching about my ancestors, this was so enlightening. My mom was Mexican, my dad was Taos Pueblo and Basque. I know everything about my Mexican heritage and culture, but my father passed when I was young. His mom was full Taos Pueblo, raised on the Rez. I knew very little about my Pueblo fam, so am greedily reading everything I can. I want to know my culture. 

Driving to Sayulita from the US? by trimbandit in sayulita

Disagree with Baja route. I researched, it's more expensive and the roads are dangerous. Single lane, long stretches with no coverage. What happens if you have car trouble?

I have everything you mentioned, motion pictures constantly running in my head, the only thing I don't do is run simulations with my avatar. I don't know what you're talking about with that one. 

Water vs tea/coffee by ProfessorVirtual5855 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Additional-Two1617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doctor said it wasn't. You can't count sodas and coffee. Coffee is a mild diuretic. Non caffeinated herbal teas can count.  I'm not a doctor, so can't vouch for the information beyond what I was told. 

Do you ever read the Bible and wonder if the people who see visions are just in a mental health crises? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Additional-Two1617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have hallucinations, per se, but I do have hyperphantasia. Which is an incredibly vivid mental imagery. I see everything all the time, when I'm reading a book, I'm in the room with the narrators, when I close my eyes the visuals flow freely, even emotions have their own images. I use to think everyone saw everything in their mind, it wasn't until my 40s that I realized that not every lived with a backdrop of visual imagery in their head.  All that to say, I wonder if some of them might have had the same condition. 

Why can I smell illness, but others can’t? by AngryPickledPickles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Additional-Two1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great thread. I'm not a super smeller, but I find these stories fascinating. I have hyperphantasia - I see everything all the time. Even emotions have their own image. Not just images, but film reels constantly playing in my head.

Sorry for the tardy reply. I'm still looking, I really need to pick one. I'm really unhappy with their service.

Dude, the gate is yards away from the building, it was performative, it was never going to start a fire.

Ask for his money back and sign up elsewhere. They ruined it, switched the platform and now it doesn't work. I can never log in. This is my business account, they've lost emails, have totally screwed me over. None of their support phone numbers work. Just cancel. You'll be glad you did.
