    As someone with full auditory and visual Aphantasia. This is extremely fucked up and ableist. (I am honestly only half joking this is very ableist either way)

    I can’t rotate cows in my head. I can’t even hear cows in my head.

    The cops still can’t stop be tho.

      I can’t even hear cows in my head.

      I’m curious about that part. Does that mean you also don’t get that weird thing where you hear like, people chattering/ music/ something falling down just before you fall asleep? Or are dreams/half-asleep hallucinations not affected by aphantasia?

        I have full apantasia audio and visual. I can still dream. I know I can and I know I see things and hear things in my dream. But when I wake up I can’t recall any visual or audio.

        I tried teaching myself the lucid dream at one point and all it did was when I realized I was in a dream. Everything goes away. Exactly as if I’m awake. It’s a very bizarre feeling. It also causes my fight or flight instinct to kick in real hard and gives me panic attacks. So I kind of stop doing that. Ain’t fun and very unpleasant very weird. Far worse than waking up with sleep paralysis I must say.

        source
      • Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Apparently dreams aren’t necessarily affected by aphantasia.

        I feel like when I do have dreams they are extremely vivid and real because I am seeing my thoughts which isn’t normal.

        Not OP but also have aphantasia.

        I discovered it when I was…23? My whole life I figured people were saying “picture this…” figuratively and it didn’t even occur to me that it could be otherwise because it was self-evidently impossible to me to “see” something until I learned the word “aphantasia” and that the inability to visualize is not considered the norm/not universal.

      100% of theoretical physicists would agree that cows are spheres. You could do mental math in which you calculate changes to the cardinality of the distributed mass.

      Yeah i’m like 80% aphantasiac, I can picture maybe the last time I saw a cow I, could probably imagine something else in the static scene, I can’t even really make it turn it’s head.

        That might not be specifically aphantasia, but closely related symptom called SDAM(severly deficient autobiographical memory), but yes, I’m immune to seeing or reliving any of the past traumatic or bad events. Lived through past or experiences don’t exist for me.

        I don’t have dreams or at least the handful of times per year i have something that might resemble a dream. It’s forgotten within minutes after waking up.

        I mean, it’s a pretty hard thing to understand if you don’t know about aphantasia. Since we can’t know what other people experience in their mind, what we perceive is considered ‘normal’ because that’s all we know.

        I didn’t realize I had aphantasia until I was 18. Doesn’t mean I suddenly became aphantasic at that same time.

        While a prevalence of 0.8% may seem like a tiny amount but when applied to a large population it’s a significant number of people. Let’s say a city has a nice round 100,000 people, a small city by any measure. That’s 800 people, not such a small number anymore. The lives of those 800 people are worth thinking about. Granted in the context of a larger population but it’s still something.

        Its estimated that almost 95%+ of all cases of it go unnoticed or diagnosed. It was only officially recognized 10 years ago.

        Its estimated that 1-4% of the population have complete audio or visual aphantasia. 1-2% have both and roughly 30% of the population has some level of partial. And these are conservative numbers.

        And that’s just based on the last few years of study of somethingt that most people don’t even know exists, is non life impacting in a way to get people to speak out assistance. And thus goes mostly untalked about outside a few online circles for the most part.

        Either way, if you just include people with complete visual alone that’s still a fuck load of people.

That is some sort of quiet internal narration for my imagination that happened when I read a lot. When I watch a lot of movies, I end up imagining camera mouvement, like traveling and zoom in/out. It is like I can imagine vividly but the way my imagination express itself is out of my control and depend on my recent environnement.

    Is the mind cow merely rotating in air, or must I imagine myself picking it up and rotating it physically? If I’m imagining physically rotating the cow, am I imagining exertion, or should I be imagining that I have super human strength?

    In what plane should I rotate it?

    Is the cow in a field or in a barn? Or is it in an empty void?

    If I’m physically rotating the cow, how am I dressed? Am I wearing my normal attire, or am I dressed like a dairy farmer? How does a dairy farmer dress? Is the cow wearing any clothing?

    Can I choose what season I imagine the cow rotating in, or must it be the current season?

    I have so many questions and now I’m even more bored than I was before!
