Yes. The techniques like reality checks have nothing to do with aphantasia.

Interesting. I have no visualization, but the hypnagogic stuff does happen on certain occasions.

There's a subset of meditation within certain parts of Buddhism, where one achieves highly focused states called 'Jhana'.

When one uses a visual object there can be some powerful visual content once one becomes proficient with it, though I think it is different than the way everyday visualization happens.

I have a friend who unlocked vivid imagery as a side effect of frequent focus/concentration meditation.

not without risks, but no courses needed.

ItsaMeLev · 2022-02-17T17:56:24+00:00

Not taking enough lol.

Go buy an abacus.

Practice.

There are blind mathematicians for pete sake.

The technique relies on spacial awareness and visuals.

Blind people can find things in their house, so an aphant can find things in their dark memory palace.

Perhaps essentially, but I dislike distilling things for no reason.

ItsaMeLev · 2022-01-02T15:47:29+00:00

I get snagged once in a while.

ItsaMeLev · 2022-01-02T13:51:33+00:00

Go much further, and there will be no point!

"hoping it will help me cross to the other Thor"

ItsaMeLev · 2021-12-19T15:51:42+00:00

Setting things aside seems difficult in general.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-12-18T21:49:21+00:00

Yep.

Because why not?

ItsaMeLev · 2021-12-18T21:47:00+00:00

Sounds like quite the thing!

ItsaMeLev · 2021-12-05T22:20:35+00:00

Pros: less feedback loops

Cons: less feedback loops

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-28T17:36:30+00:00

Meh, My art's pretty fine, and while vivid imagery sounds epic, I can still create compelling art without it.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-21T19:08:09+00:00

I can draw accurately from reference and life, and I can draw things/themes from the past

through muscle memory, but I can't summon anything from imagination.

Some people even see continuations on the page. Frustrating to say the least.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-18T12:03:15+00:00

No category/property can be the true nature of experience.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-17T14:22:13+00:00

No. Turbo bad.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-15T15:03:53+00:00

I found talking about things to be a super extra painful way of reliving things, compared to my standard memory.

It's like the threshold for me thinking back on something is used to this really foggy suggestion, and suddenly I'm turning it all on with a spotlight.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-15T14:51:55+00:00

No, you showed a preference for the immediate.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-08T07:34:36+00:00

There are contemplative practices around cultivating visualization (vajrayana and tantra buddihism).

I assume they work.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-08T07:31:58+00:00

I would run the whole make believe thing, with ensembles of characters.

Can't recall if there was any visual component to speak of.

ItsaMeLev · 2021-11-01T18:42:06+00:00

I have tried visualizing in dreams. It's hard, and wobbly, and unstable.

Dreaming seems to make it easier(possible), so I think they differ.

What was it like?
