Do you? no.. i see nothing even if i try there's nothing ... i only see like black. Even if i try to see a colour there's nothing. i read about this today... and i never knew any different. i was surprised when i read people can see colour or images.. i never have. it's called Aphantasia ... it not an issue, just means it's different for me and others like me. it sort of explains a few things. i always thought people saying they can visualize things as odd.. like what are you talking about.

I see nothing and thought they were just nuts. lol I ended up here: https://creativerevolution.io/aphantasia-a-blind-minds-eye/ It is interesting. 3 1

I just read a little about it while I waited for my Uber. It's amazing how many intricacies the human brain has that differ from person to person. I remember in 6th grade our teacher gave a class assignment. She read a description from The Hound of the Baskervilles. It was the exterior of a house and the walkway leading up to it. We had to draw what she described. 30-some odd kids in the class and there were 30-some odd different versions. One kid drew a square. I'm willing to bet he has anphantasia. Out of curiosity... is it just visual for you, or does it affect your other senses? 5

I just cannot visualize it in my mind. So this doesnt affect my imagination but it does explain why i sometimes felt frustrated when people said they could see things and i couldn't. I don't think it affects anything but visual imagination. 1 3

Have a question ... if you're asked to close your eyes and visualize a sunset, what do you see when you do that? This isn't a trick question... i'll explain why later. I see radiant yellows of differing shades stacked like ribbons that fill my mind’s eye completely. 2 4

My short term memory isn’t worth the paper it’s written, which causes me to forget to buy the one thing I went to the grocery store. Then again, I buy other things, so maybe I’m just easily distracted by shiny (oh, it’s on sale…) things? As for tomorrow? It’s supposed to rain, so stay in and put your new “toys” through their paces. I’ll be making roll up lasagna in lieu of an evening walk. 1 4

I can see the waves crashing on the shore and the gulls as they fly. That's what I see somewhat, but for me I see the sun setting on the water like it's sinking into it with dark blues and violet colors and lit twinkling of the stars as they start to come out, it's absolutely peaceful. 3

Mikiesboy Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 We set up the bamix. Did a bit of prep with it for dinner. Grated cheese, julienned some carrots for salad. Next, the bread maker to make some dough for hamburger buns. 3
