zzz - dream

All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he'd cut in Night City, and still he'd see the matrix in his sleep, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colorless void...

>Aphantasia is a hypothesized neurological condition where a person does not possess a functioning mind's eye. The term was first suggested in a 2015 study for a specific kind of visual agnosia.
It feels weirdly appropriate to talk about this here.

I've never been able to picture things, weirdly enough my dreams are of concepts, i don't "see" anything.
I could perfectly describe to you what happens in the few dreams i remember, but i can't for the hell of me visualize it.

Figured it was just because i don't have a visual memory, but apparently it's just the tip of the iceberg.

What's your opinion of it?

>mind's eye
What do you mean? Some spiritual bullsoykaf or actually the pineal gland?
I read about some related "pineal petrification", when people can't absorb easily DMT (on ayahuasca rictuals).

Try MAO-I like Syrian Rue 30min before intravenous DMT on isolation tanks... meh.

This is odd, I haven't read the article yet but I definitely feel like my visual imagination is much weaker than it could be. I can make out very vague images, but I have little "control" over them. One time I was reading a story when I was younger, and tried to visualize a character riding a magic carpet. The image wasn't so hard, as it's fairly simple, however I couldn't picture it stably. For whatever reason the character would lean, and the carpet would tilt, and flip over. Once this happens, momentum starts to build up, and I can't focus on having the carpet not flip over.

To this day I still have trouble picturing things like this because the images seem to have more control over themselves than I do.

This have nothing to do with "mind's eye" bullsoykaf. It's called Spatial visualization:

Do origami. Seriously, this help a lot. Try Robert J. Lang models, see this documentary:

I don't think i ever had such difficulties with 3D visualization . It just requires a little bit of focus and relax, and i can pretty much control the scene i'm creating in mind.

Lol @ that people taking "mind's eye" out of context. They're talking about mental visualization, not the spiritual eye a.k.a. "third eye."

Do you need this soykaf spelled out to you literally?

I used to have a something very similar, it was deeply related to my anxiety.

>not knowing what a mind's eye is
Are you ESL? "Mind's eye" is the term for how you can visualize things in your head.

Anyone else really bothered by this? I still don't understand how this is supposed to work. The last time I researched this I thought it's just a vague feel rather than an image. And now it's a fuarrrking image you're supposed to see?

I don't know if I lack this ability or not. Or just to some extent.
