How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger’s, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see ‘aphant’ as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?
I dream and super vividly sometimes. My pet theory is that the hardware is all there but the neural connections aren’t there during my waking time.
I have been able to visualize things in that brief waking time on a few rare occasions; it felt super weird to me and honestly somewhat scary.
For an alternative datum I have an incessant internal monologue and don’t dream unless I’m sick
