I have the opposite problem where I feel overwhelmed with imagery and colors, sounds and vibrations or hums or harmonies, and psychedelic-feeling visuals at pretty much all times. Just thinking about trying to remember something usually involves a visual or emotional slideshow of sorts transitioning among various somewhat related images, concepts, colors, feelings, smells, sounds, etc until I get to what I was trying to remember. My dreams are extremely vivid and sometimes bleed into wakefulness for several minutes; daydreaming can become entire out-of-body experiences. There are times where it can be difficult to distinguish between real memories and fantasies. It also has significant downsides with negative imagery and intrusive thoughts. But at the same time it is very helpful for being creative and finding intuitive understandings of things. Oddly enough, actually taking psychedelics feels more like being able to focus this kind of thing! |

What's really fascinating to me is that people fall anywhere on this spectrum yet we interact socially in mostly the same ways and usually we wouldn't notice from spending time with a person just how different their inner experience is.
