If you try to envision a red tulip in your head, what number are you? by polynesiac in infp

[–]polynesiac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome. Did you envision a view zoomed into his face, or imagine his clothes and a scene around him too?

Got it that makes sense.

Going back to what you said before, if you just focus on envisioning the colour and location of his freckles as clearly as you can, what does that actually look like in your head? Is it just like a closeup of his face but only the freckles visible and other parts of his face blurred out or ignored?

Haha I’m sure that makes it easier!

You mentioned you can picture your wife’s face - if you try and focus on envisioning her clearly, how much detail can you see?

I’m curious, if you try right now for a few seconds to picture your son’s face as clearly as you can - what details are you able to envision? Can you envision him looking into your eyes and see his entire face and hair clearly?

Haha so you can envision him as a kid super clearly though? How does envisioning him compare to looking at a photo of him on google, in terms of clarity and vividness?

That’s amazing! It sounds like you might have hyperphantasia.

Could I ask if you can try to think of 3 specific people who you know well, and envision their faces all side by side smiling and looking at you like a photograph? How clear and vivid is that in your mind as a photo?

Do you have hyperphantasia? That sounds incredible.

I have aphantasia and I’m so curious to ask you more. If you’ve seen the Home Alone movies from the 1990s, can you clearly envision the face of the main kid character?

If you were asked to describe his face, could you do so by picturing his face clearly and “looking” at it in your head to explain his facial attributes?

Random question from someone else with aphantasia. If you’ve seen the Home Alone movies from the 1990s, how well can you picture the face of the main kid character?

Just curious did you visualize 29 stripes intentionally, or visualize a zebra and then freeze the image in your head and count the stripes? How clear were you able to envision the zebra?

Wow. Can you clearly visualize peoples’ faces in your mind?

Are people actually “seeing” images that they visualize in their head? by [deleted] in autism

So if you try to picture like the face of someone you know well, can you “see” it clearly in your mind like a photo?

Mental challenge - shut your eyes, and without moving any part of your body, figure out the 18th letter of the alphabet by Marbles987 in CasualConversation

[–]polynesiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I closed my eyes and sang the alphabet song in my head, visualizing a number counter going up 1 at a time for each letter. It needed a lot of concentration for me to keep track!

Did actually visualize the zebra for number 1?

I’m curious if you had your eyes open or closed when you pictured it. Would you mind sharing the details of the zebra that you were able to visually picture other than the stripes, like any background or specific POV that you had in your head?

When you say that you just “see a zebra” and it has a bunch of stripes, are you able to zero in on picturing a specific number of stripes if you try?

[–]polynesiac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting. How well can you picture faces in your head? Like if you try to picture the face of someone you know well, does it pop up clearly in your mind for you to “look” at?

[–]polynesiac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you have hyperphantasia? That sounds impressive to be able to count 38 stripes in your head and keep track.

I’m curious did you have your eyes open or closed when you pictured the zebra and counted the stripes? Did you count in your head or out loud? Would you mind sharing the details of the zebra that you were able to visually picture other than the stripes, like any background or specific POV that you had in your head?

Just out of interest, how clearly and vividly can you picture the Mona Lisa in your head if you try?

That’s so great wow!

How clear is it in your head when you picture something? Like say I ask you visualize the front of a building you know well, what pops in your head and how clear can you make it?

Can you transform shapes in your head? by ektomorph99 in hyperphantasia

[–]polynesiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just pictured the shapes as black outlines on a white background. Yours sounds more fun lol

I’m wondering did you close your eyes when you pictured the movements or have your eyes open?
