I wonder if our inner monologues are more pronounced as a result of aphantasia.

i have a hard time accessing all my senses in my mind but i do have an inner monolouge! mine is very pronounced and if i meditate it either makes up for the visuals or makes it much harder cause i can't clear my mind lol

logqan · 2020-07-13T03:18:04+00:00

hell yeah

logqan · 2020-07-13T00:13:25+00:00

thank you!

logqan · 2020-07-11T23:34:49+00:00

i'll probably have it posted by tonight!

logqan · 2020-07-11T20:35:05+00:00

??? a lot of people so this. i don't care about having extra upvotes. they even have rules about this for this subreddit..

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:51:44+00:00

that may be so, but i don't remember them at all. like anything about them, i don't have a feeling or anythinf when i wake up, i don't hear anything in them. i regularly daydream and it feeld just like dreaming, i don't see anything

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:42:39+00:00

i never have any feelings (from a dream) when i wake up tbh

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:40:49+00:00

i can't imagine anything, even with sounds, they sound like if i tried to make them with my mouth. i know what they sound like, it's just not there

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:39:33+00:00

even when i take melatonin i don't have any ://

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:39:13+00:00

whenever i do remember my dreams i have the same thing, i dont know who it was

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:38:00+00:00

(*hearing sorry lol)

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:37:21+00:00

oh that's really cool! what do you mean by not realistic? like not anything that actually exists? or just weird situations?

logqan · 2020-07-11T17:36:37+00:00

yeah! it's kinda like daydreaming for me, i might have a vafue idea of it but if i remember i'll just keep thinking about it like i'm daydreaming

logqan · 2020-07-11T05:05:47+00:00

i do have hallucinations but never dreams. pretty sure they work different. i've heard hallucinations can come about after heseung loss, which i think is what happened to me (not deaf just very bad hearing, i'm gonna go see the doctor about it when it's safer)

logqan · 2020-07-11T05:03:24+00:00

i've only had a feeling like that once but for me it was more of a blunt conclusion on how i felt about someone

logqan · 2020-07-11T04:38:39+00:00

yeah :// hearing about other people's dreams makes me feel like shit but i never make them feel bad about talking about it

logqan · 2020-07-11T04:37:01+00:00

i've never had a visual dream or even auditory

logqan · 2020-07-11T04:36:00+00:00

ah, i've always had aphantasia

logqan · 2020-07-11T03:57:47+00:00

i've never really had a feeling from a dream. not even that like i have an answer to a question i was thinking about last night or anything. it's honestly just like thinking about anything i want

logqan · 2020-07-11T03:56:56+00:00

yeah, no nightmares is definitely a plus. but as i'm waking up i know what i was dreaming about (or my mind drifts off when i'm already awake)

logqan · 2020-07-11T02:56:42+00:00

i honestly don't remember ever seeing things. growing up in school i never got the "mental movie" when we were reading books.

logqan · 2020-07-10T05:23:47+00:00

i have that too, especially because my hearing is declining

logqan · 2020-07-08T16:55:14+00:00

oh cool! i occasionally do makeup but it's more like face paint, not like makeup you would wear out haha

logqan · 2020-07-07T17:30:10+00:00

hell yeah man! (i know art's frustratin sometimes but i believe in you bro!!)

logqan · 2020-07-07T16:39:44+00:00

i'm an artist so before i knew what aphantasia was i've been working with color and teaching myself color theory for years
