I can vividly imagine things with their complete and accurate physical properties. I can even visualize the intricate details of gears and pistons and "render" an animation in my mind, simulating the mechanics to see if the gears turn smoothly or if they encounter too much friction. I created my first machines using my imagination when I was just three or four years old. Many of the inventions I later detailed on paper eventually became a reality, though not by my doing, because I lack the financial means. For example, I envisioned an electromagnet-powered levitating train similar to the one in Japan before I knew it existed. However, my version operated in a vacuum tube to minimize air resistance at high speeds and featured doors that would align with the tube using suction. A computer program would facilitate this by automatically initiating a docking procedure. All these ideas came to me when I was just 14 or 15 years old. Now, at 25, I am planning to start my own businesses after college.

When I was younger my imagination was so vivid that sometimes in the dark I would see faint hallucinations of things. I’ve also always been able to picture images in my mind but it feels like the image just isn’t there, like it’s behind my physical eyes. I have no idea on the quality of the images though, but usually I only focus on one aspect. Like if I think of my house I just see my house but I have the knowledge of everything else that’s there. I don’t see anything else until I think about it though. What I mean by this is that if I think of my house I just have a general image of what it roughly looks like. When I think about the roof, I can see the exact shade and material. When I think of the garden I can visualise the plants there. Kind of like a microscope. Looking at an image is like looking at something out of focus, but I can focus on particular parts of the one image to make them clearer. On another note, I can imagine music extremely vividly. It’s just like listening to the actual thing. While my memory of lyrics might not be 100% accurate, I can imagine the beat and instruments very vividly. I can basically listen to music whenever I want. Maybe my visual imagination is below or around average but my auditory imagination is very high. One more thing, with the apple test, I can very easily imagine the apple in those circumstances. I can imagine what it’s like after taking a bite, I can imagine it in a table and casting a shadow. I can grab it and move it around but the animation quality of my mind feels like I took a video at 3 fps and got a computer to generate the frames in between to get it to 60fps. I only vividly imagine the starting image and the end image, but I can faintly see the process or animation. It’s a lot easier to visualise things I’ve seen, imagining something new usually results in a less vivid image. I can remember some of my dreams though. Not all of them, but if something stood out to me I can remember it, but I’m usually reminded of it through an experience the following day. Edit: I do have an internal monologue as well

Also it can used for other things in the art field, and can possibly be used to tackle trama and other mental issues people face on daily basis. To add on, jmagine this you hook up someone to a world where they are in a world where they are happy. This person is a suspect for many things, but there is no evidence. They imagine stuff they want to believe.. But there's a problem. The things that make them happy are inhumane, and communicates the acts they have done in real life. So they've solved the problem and out this person in jail for good. It may can be used on animals too, to see there intelligence. And how certain animal's compare each other intelligence. But, obviously if it doesn't hurt them then yes you can test them. There's so many opportunities for this type of intelligence, and being able to solve the problems that this type of intelligence might not be able to use it on.

Those clip reconstructions are actually incredibly similar to what my imagination looks like.

The image is also faded and colors are muted, but not completely colorless. What I'm imagining usually exists in an empty void unless I'm deliberately conjuring an environment. Strong moods can influence that void to become a generic background, or a specific place I'm familiar with. But its still quite blurred and morphs and shifts slightly.

I agree. :) I'm glad to have seen his growth as a content creator from some jerk who made fun of kid's drawings, to someone who is actually asking some really interesting questions and giving fascinating insight. I'm learning so much from his channel now, things I don't think I've seen anyone talk about, and for that, I'm here to stay. ^^

Maybe the "face reveal" is just our imagination of how he looks

i feel like i have the opposite of aphantansia...multiple times i have thought that a movie existed, when in reality it was just a book i read as a child and imagined in my head.

hyperphantasia?

I had this happen to me the other day

@@tudorcris4953 i think they're more meaning that their imagination is SO vivid and powerful that they were able to visualize a book so clearly it looked like a movie. not just "misremembering".

I have aphantasia and the thing that broke my heart when I found out is that most everyone else can see again their memories, look at their loved ones even after they passed away. I feel robbed of so much, I shed many tears. I'm also an artist, and I think aphantasia has helped me in a way, because the need to put things on paper because I can't assemble them in my head has driven me to persist with art. But I've never been able to draw the faces of the people I lost, they're lost to me forever.

To clear some questions you might have: What "normal" people imagine does NOT feel like it's real life at all, unlike schizophrenic people. We don't randomly walk into a room and see a monster unless we want to, but even if we wanted to and saw an object, it'd be blury, transparent, wouldn't look real and disappear after seconds. Kind of like it's a new layer of vision that you can differentiate from the other "layer". This is just my experience.

I mean, if you put it like that it sounds really tragic, but you know, photos have existed for quite a while now

Did you ever had hallucinations or lucid dreams?

At first I asked myself “Why is he playing a video of a youtuber talking” and then I realized that was you.

[@onlyalf.]

I thought it was a person he was collabing with, then i realized "wait that's his voice".

[@Eclecticgirl17]

Waiiiit, only now that I read your comment did I realize that's him

[@Strange_bandit]

I don't have aphantasia, I can visualize very detailed images, I can't rotate it, I can imagine very detailed dragons for a fraction of a second So I can visualize just not for long

@@AtariWow it is a bit hellish ngl. I often cant look at upsetting pictures simply cuz they can get stuck and evolve in my imagination and forcibly make me look at it time from time.
