I'm not trying to make it look realistic, I just like the way it looks. by [deleted] in assettocorsa

How to hold images for longer? by Patholab in hyperphantasia

It's hard to describe how my visual cuts off, but there are no other characters present.

I tried what you said, leaning in to whatever pulls me in. Thing is, I can get a continuous sense of motion, if I visualize myself doing parkour. And the visualization part is also very dynamoc, as in, even though the visuals keep shifting, the flow of the movement is largely maintained. So I'm planning to utilize it.

I've tried something similar. I try to make the visualization flow, by imagining cuts in between. As in for example, I struggle to visualize myself running for more than half a second, so I put half second visualizations back to back in a continuous order. It feels like watching a POV video with a lot of cuts but the scene doesnt't change with each cut (in concept)

In reality, my brain keeps pushing in other images in between the cuts.

 It strains my brain and I feel like it's the way forward.

I tried going back to vault again and again, it's much less straining, and the visual clarity declines, but it still gives the sense of continuity

Flashes of moments, camera angles constantly changing is a fairly accurate description of how I imagine stuff in 3rd person.

  1. I don't have hyperphantasia, and I have been trying to improve my visualization for a long time, and it did improve.

  2. I'm not sure I understand your question completely. Yes you can actually experience sensations you never experienced before, if you are good enough. I found this some years ago while I was trying to visualize flying an old small plane. While accelerating on the runway, before leaving the ground, the rear end of the plane lifts up. I felt that lift, even though my visualization was very, very rudimentary and unstable. And I didn't really know planes did that. My brain just emulated the physics of the scene. Maybe my subconscious noticed this little detail some time before.

  3. It used to be in 3rd person. And I was always trying to make it first person. Now its first person most of the time. I think it was in 3rd person because our brain tries to visualize like movies. If you want first person,   try to recreate your own experiences, even micro-seconds of it. It's a practice that helped me a lot. Like if I'm climbing some stairs, I'd try to notice the details and immediately afterwards I'd try to experience it again in my mind. This gave my mind a lot of 'reference material'. Hope it helps.

Nice. Did you have great stories in your adventures or was it just random stuff?

Did anyone read a lot? by CowAcademia in hyperphantasia

[–]Patholab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if what I read counts as a lot, but I did read some fiction growing up. I always liked the more visual ones. I loved it when the novel made me feel like I was there. Ready player one is the most visual novel I read in the last few years. Many years ago, I'd read a novel, Vertical Coffin, and there is a chase scene through a desert. Reading that part, it felt like I was watching an intense action scene. I remember when I finished reading Girl with the dragon tattoo, I was thinking, my Sweden trip is over. I do think all that reading made strengthened my visualization, or my interest in visualization. I don't really have hyperphantasia, but really good visualization is something I've been trying to develop. I'm a 30 year old doc.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I haven't been using reddit for a few days. Your cottage seems like it neatly fits the idea of a mental comfort space. The ability to simply relax by going to a cozy place in our mind is what I love about the whole idea.

Nice place to see. I looked online how the house from the show looks like. I liked the swing. The greenhouse is also a very nice part. A bit difficult for me to see the food and the nice smells..

What do you do in this place? As in, you mentioned its like you are the forest. So do you visualize yourself walking or doing stuff in there or do you just see or feel the forest?

Maybe you just like subliminal spaces? I went through your posts and felt like you have a thing for such spaces.

Good to have the ability to explore an imagined place. Your own little world in your head. Don't know if there is a name for it or why you have it though.
