    I'm a 1. I was today years old when I learned that there are people who can only visualize the outline of an apple, nothing at all, or anything other than a fully 3D rendered apple like in a computer generated image. To answer your question, no I don't!

      I remember when I learned people weren't just being metaphorical when they talked about "picturing" something in their mind.

      Do you have an internal dialogue? Or is it all visual? Cuz my internal world is basically a lightly illustrated book, 95% dialogue and occasionally I can imagine a vague image.

        Both internal dialogue which sounds the same as my spoken voice alongside images or videos, similar to when there's a montage being narrated in a movie is the best way I can explain it. This is all fascinating to me now! Do you dream very often?

          I only seem to dream if I'm not sleeping well. I can pretty reliably make myself dream by having coffee before bed. Otherwise, nope, there's just a vague sense that time has passed when I wake up. If I do dream it's highly visual, though.

        I can create images, sounds, smells, etc the whole gaumut experience OF an apple in my mind. I almost always go for visual it made up in my mind. Just depends.

        Not the person you were asking, but seems like you're curious.

        For me when I'm daydreaming it's like watching a movie, my eyes might be open but I don't see shit, my brain's doing other things. Or when I'm visualizing something it's like free and organic AR. But yeah, no dialogue necessary, it's like a hallucination that I control.

      right, coz there's no point if you can make better images in your head, yeah?

      you don't run into problems like awful actors, or they suddenly introduce a fetish you're not into

      is that about right?
