Some people just cant, I think my auditory memories are more vivid so i more hear the words. The visuals can be distracting some times (my brain is cooked)
I don't read a lot of fiction, some, since I don't have visual imagination (unless I take small doses of DMT). It's just a list of information, which I could draw or dream about (a surprisingly high percent of animators and artists at firms like Pixar also report lack of visualization).
As others have noted, it’s not as common as one would think. I can do it and it helps to make the more boring aspects of my life much more interesting. It’s only a shame I’m a terrible artist and can only write things out narratively.
I still don’t understand how y’all do that. And I’m very jealous.
it's ezaggerated in thes post a lot, unfortunately.
picture an apple in your head. that's as far as the 'hallucinations' go
I know, but I literally can’t even do that.
oh damn, im sorry
