I saw Dumbo's pink elephants, does it count?

I knew an artist who had aphantasia too. It's nice to see all these different ways of navigating through the world. I do have a TV in my head, I'm like a huge daydreamer, so I'm like your opposite I guess. But I never thought about how much it can change the way you think, like inner monologues and all. It was fascinating to read this. Thank for the post!

Thank you so much for sharing such personal detail about your experience. This is all new to me! A conversation with someone I care about led to the initial question and I’ve loved the comment section, learning from people who do and don’t think like me. Your post was so insightful for me! And it helps me to understand a few moments in my life where missed communication felt unavoidable but I never quite understood why. I have a lot to process and will likely come back to this a few more times. And I’m sharing with someone I know this will help! And I’ll also explore Philip K. Dick’s work. Thank you for sharing!
