aphantasia–cannot visualize

[Kinki]

I was wondering since i have a very hard time visualizing things into my mind, or even create a picture that persists, i can glimpse maybe 0,5 seconds of an image in my mind then its gone. It is like a vision coming to you :p or you fish something up from your subconscious mind but i have never been able to visulize a whole picture that persists? Or create images with my mind

When i hear of people saying: visualize a sunset.. And that and that, or visualize a purple flame or whatever im not able to do it! I'm thinking i would atleast be a better painter if i had this ability!

I have the most intense dreams tho.

And i have experienced something amazing happening during a meditation. And since i am having a hardtime visualizing things i think its almost even strange others have not experienced it (that i have heard or read about)

I can't visualize either. I'm just as glad as I'd get lost in the visions and miss the other stuff...

Why u need visualizing? just think of it and unforcefully whatever picture comes in mind is okay. feeling or sensing the things okay instead of visualizing forcefully.

I am the same way I use to be able to visualize in 2012 but I can't now.I know what the object,person,place etc look like but I just can't visualize it.Which sucks because I miss my imagination and writing in my stories.But the funniest thing is that I dream it's blurry but I dream
