I'm not good at drawing and I have been suffering(?) from some degree of Aphantasia but I can assure you that none of the bicycles in that art project would be mine because I know my objects.
I can still probably disassemble and assemble my rifle blindfolded. I can draw it but if I try to visualize it in my head I only get a very vague picture of my room at boot camp and I feel it more than I see it.
Actually the images I can reproduce to so degree are the ones I've seen unusually often:
- my driveway
- my kitchen
- but most of all photos from my albums.
I don't dream much either but this summer I did some experiments, trying to sleep as much as possible each night (ended up with an average of 7 or something) and during that time I dreamt and also felt I was able to visualize slightly better.
