  I can think about how a cow looks, colors, patters, what a cow might do but I can’t visualize anything. I didn’t know there was a word for this or that people could actually visualize things in their mind. I thought it was just a turn of phrase.

    That’s conceptualizing.

    A better description of it with a ball experiment than i can provide.

  Does this affect dreams?

    Nope, dreams and nightmares are good and vivid.

    My dreams aren’t visually detailed, but i’m not sure that’s necessarily unique. I also have trouble with faces, but I can remember really long selections of words and numbers.

    Oddly I can do a really good job drawing 2d and 3d things from reference art if they’re 1:1

      It’s probably not so odd, it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect on creative skills. A friend of me has aphantasia and she’s a tattoo artist.
