Am I entirely fucked when it comes to writing?
Tfw imaginationlet
Well probably yea, unless you describe places you know? For example that picture
Do some people actually experience shit like in pic relared anyway?
I can mentally understand an image in a book, but it's always in the back of my mind while I'm actually reading the words on a page. It's nowhere near the level of hallucination in OP's pic.
I've heard that some people see the scenes and images unfold in front of them as a sort of translucent screen though. Not sure whether that person was BS-ing me or not.
Maybe David Hume was right and I simply need more sensual experiences. Like how can you imagine Miss Havisham's dress if you never lived in the Victorian era and understand what dresses looked like back then? It's always going to be a dress based on your previous experience of wedding dresses.
you might have aphantasia
>he has never been reading a book and without realizing gone on "autopilot" reading while what he's reading plays out in front of his "eyes"/mind without effort
Some of these times I remember as if they were genuine memories, as if I were really there, the images were that vivid.
The picture is clearly a dramatization. There's no way that Dickens thought up all of his novels' scenes at once.

Drop acid, I promise you SOMETHING will come up to you, unless you are really a severe case of imaginationlet
There is something in acid that just kind of unblocks that "sensitive" part of the mind that gets blocked because of how hurting living usually is
But be careful because you might go nuts, take a benzo with in case of emergency

You know I, we, can't do that.
I'm aphantasic.
What am I missing on? Please, don't troll me, I genuinely can't see anything when I close my eyes, and I'm dying to know what's imagination like for other people. How does it help you when writing, studying, painting, playing music, or even in your day to day life? What are the most common ''effects'' you experience?
If you imagine something in your room, how close it will be to its real counterpart? Are the images just different or is one less detailed than the other?
Please, be precise as possible, it will be interesting for all of us.
