I discovered that I had Hyperphantasia recently at the age of 74.

For many years, in fact for as long as I can Iremember, I have had images of many and varied things. These images appear to come from my brain to behind my eyes. They are very clear.

I have a thought and that thought immediately translates into an image. EG I might be thinking about something in the past like my mother and immediately a variety of images pop up about her. Or, I am planning something for the future and I actually live what will happen through visual images. These images have some colour and can move when necessary.

I paint and do mosaics which I think may be enhanced by the images I see.

It is comforting that there is a name for what I have and that there are other people like me.

If there is anyone else who would like to join this discussion with their experiences, I would love to join in.
