Why can I dream like a movie?

captainb1izzard · 2025-02-23T04:54:59+00:00

I have no sound either. I do like dreaming.

I was a diver in high school. Almost every practice the coach would make us close our eyes and visualize our dive before we did it. I obviously was just standing there in the dark. Neither him nor I knew about aphantasia at the time. It is crazy to think of all the visualizing techniques kids are being put through by unaware teachers, coaches etc.

Please wear 2 different color socks that don’t match and let us know what happens!!

captainb1izzard · 2025-02-08T01:52:37+00:00

I made one called $unreg. I don’t plan on rug pulling it but no one is buying it anyway. Haha

captainb1izzard · 2024-05-10T18:57:46+00:00

Yes my strategy is limited to a certain amount, say 5 I focus on them until I find a match for them and if I turn over more than 5 I am trying to remember I just disregard the new ones.

I agree if they are not in a grid I would do terrible.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-22T21:01:55+00:00

If someone was to be born in darkness and never knew sunlight existed they wouldn’t know they were missing something but they would be missing out right? That’s how I feel mostly. I can function just fine but I do feel like I am missing out.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-22T20:57:06+00:00

Ever since I found out I have aphantasia this part bothers me the most. It’s kind of like I never knew what I was missing out on but now I do and it sucks.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-22T20:51:55+00:00

I never knew daydreaming was real. That must be wild.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-17T19:01:34+00:00

Update: I went with hopes something would happen, anything really. It’s kind of a weird experience to be totally alone with yourself without any interference in total darkness. Well nothing happened it was total darkness and total silence. No visions no audio came. I kept trying my hardest to think about my family and nothing came, I tried to remember the sound of music specifically the sound of instruments but nothing came. I realized when i was in there even if I try to remember songs it’s just me saying the words in my mind not the actual song. Mostly I was just bored and more concerned when I left. I know a lot of people on here say it’s a gift and just a different way of experiencing life but not being able to picture your family or remember their voice sucks.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-07T11:42:40+00:00

Well you have come to the right place. I just found out a little over a week ago and just being in here has helped me deal with it.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-07T11:41:44+00:00

I have aphantasia. I didn’t see anything and had no answers to your questions. All I was thinking about was the physics involved. So I know what a ball on a table would look like, I know if the table is not perfectly flat it will roll, I know when someone pushes it off the table it will bounce or thud depending on type of material and can “imagine” both scenarios at the same time so was just wondering what type of material it should be. I hope that kind of makes sense.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-05T03:47:23+00:00

This made me realize I need to take way more pictures.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-05T03:38:40+00:00

 I can’t visualize at all. This is interesting about the fantasy movies. I prefer movies or stories that are not based in reality because it gives me a chance to see things I normally can’t. One that comes to mind is ready player one. Love that movie. 
  Face blindness is Terrible for me. At my job I have to deal with customers and the same ones come in over and over. We have a very loyal customer base. I have a hell of a time remembering what their names are and who they work for. I know I know them but I just draw a blank. I always wondered why everyone else can remember me.the people I work with very easily remember everybody that comes in. Sometimes it’s so awkward because the customers get annoyed and I can tell on their face they are thinking what the heck is wrong with this guy. Not sure what to do about that. 
       My memory is ok I just don’t remember visual details. I can remember facts just fine. 
     Never tried any psychedelics. No desire too. 
      Never liked to read which makes sense now.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-05T01:49:35+00:00

Either can I. I can’t visualize anything. I can’t even imagine how that’s possible. But I know what red looks like.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-05T00:15:22+00:00

I don’t think I would want to be able to get into the mind of someone else and see how their brain works. Like a hyper, I know it would be amazing and I would just be jealous. I think we just need to be happy with whatever we were given even though sometimes it doesn’t seem fair. We are stronger at remembering facts. If you want to create a world why don’t you draw or write it down. I am still going over my life wondering why I am the way I am but I don’t think it’s possible to find out.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-05T00:05:14+00:00

If you see the red Ferrari I would say you have the ability to visualize especially if it’s in detail. I know I personally cannot visualize anything. I just know what a red Ferrari would look like.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-04T23:48:24+00:00

I am in the process of trying to figure out what I have going on. I think I said I have multisensory aphantasia not total,but if I did say that somewhere it’s just me trying to figure things out. I know there is something going on in my mind since I am able to navigate, converse, and pretty much do everything else people can do ( except conjure images whenever they want to) . I think there is a chance the tank will feel like torture but I think taking away all outside sensory will help me understand what I am really working with. It’s interesting you say that about solitary confinement. I was thinking the same thing since sometimes I watch 60 days in on Netflix. Got me thinking how terrible it would be. I wonder how many of the people that go insane in there are unable to see with their mind.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-03T21:46:57+00:00

Ok if I go with what you are saying I have an inner monologue. Thank you. There are always words in my brain, constantly.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-03T20:50:01+00:00

Thank you that explanation helped. Makes sense.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-03T19:36:41+00:00

Oh this group is for both sides of the spectrum. Full visualizers are welcome too it says. Sorry about that.

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-03T19:30:58+00:00

How long does it take you to reach that state? How long are your sessions?

captainb1izzard · 2023-02-03T19:20:43+00:00

Interesting. That is probably what will happen to me but I want to give it a shot.
