10 years ago, I’d have put my ability to visualise at 0 out of 10. Practice and occasional halucinogen use has got me to 2 out of 10. It causes no end of problems in day to day life, so I’m interested to hear if anyone has tips or just experiences to share so it doesn’t feel such a lonely frustrating issue.
edit informative comment from @Gwaer@lemm.ee about image streaming, I did a bit of digging on the broken links, the Dr isn’t giving the info away for free anymore without buying their (expensive) book, but I found some further info on additional techniques here, pages 2/3: https://nlpcourses.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Image-Streaming-Mode-of-Thinking.pdf
I have a very specific and weird sensation I think is related to aphantasia, a thread with traction is the perfect place to ask if anyone else has had this too. Sometimes when I am going to sleep I get a sensation like there are two amorphous blobs in my imagined 3d space. One gets bigger and the other gets smaller, but it’s on an incredible scale where one blob goes to the size of an atom and the other to the size of the sun. It’s really dramatic buy I usually enjoy it because it’s a cool sensation that’s unique. I think it’s associated with nicotine it happens more if I hit my vape within 30 minutes of trying to sleep. Please if anyone has this or simmilar experiences or any knowledge on it let me know, I’ve been tortured by this for years not knowing anything lol.
