ever since i first learnt about aphantasia vs hyperphantasia, i've been really curious about it
i've wanted to pry further into all the various ways in which people experience their inner-worlds; how their senses feel, how these differences affect loving, learning, sleeping, etc. it's not a topic that was brought up to me within a real interaction, nor was it something i questioned on my own, and it makes me think about just how many other idiosyncrasies have the potential to be hugely impactful, but often overlooked or under noticed. the unspoken gaps between human personalities. my family & friends haven't been that interested in discussing it in detail, probably because i'm not pushy enough (or it's boring), so i'm dropping these questions here out of curiosity
>do you see images in your head? pictures, smells, sounds? can you manipulate the imagery, conjure things at will, distract yourself? is it subtle, or a strong landscape of colours and forms?>do you literally see shapes when you close your eyes, as if they're there but still not really, or is it simply black behind the eyelids, but your mind remains envisioning things?>if you don't see images (aphantasia), do you still dream?>can you re-experience memories in high detail, almost as if you're reliving the moment?>do you see things when you read?>do you have one or two senses, but not others? fe you can hear things, but not see or touch?>do you have an internal monologue? constantly, infrequently? or do you have to force it? is it audible, or just vaguely there>have you heard of this topic before, or questioned it on your own?>if you have hyperphantasia, do you like it?https://auxiliarymemory.com/2025/10/29/do-you-have-aphantasia-or-hyperphantasia/
