On “Aphantasia and Dreams: how they are related?”
I dream and it seems very real! I experience sights and sounds but cannot remember ever tasting, touching or smelling anything in any dreams. My aphantasia is of all my senses too, I only think in words like in abstractions, concepts and descriptions
On “How did you first discover aphantasia?”
Kind of seems like you dissociate along with having aphantasia
On “Visual or all senses?”
I got super sad when I realized I won’t be able to picture my baby as a baby after she grows up
On “Visual or all senses?”
I have aphantasia of all my senses. Can’t imagine pictures, smells, sounds, tastes or physical feelings. I literally think in words like I’m talking to myself without hearing it... a silent conversation with myself. If I was prompted to imagine something I can, but only in in the abstract, my brain just describes what I’m imagining to me without any sensory input
