In reply to the discussion: the number six tastes like moth [View all]Irish_Dem
(82,731 posts)23. I think a lot of people don't look closely at the mind's eye pictures.
They just take the pictures for granted and ignore them petty much.
It takes some practice, but if you look carefully and closely at the pictures in your head
you will get a lot more information. When I was younger I used to have almost perfect
photographic memory but it is gone now.
I am 100% introvert.
I have asked people what it is like to see no pictures or have no inner dialogue and they
are puzzled and have no idea what to say. It is like I am asking a question in a foreign language.
Obviously they are thinking about things, making internal decisions, etc.
But it must manifest in a different way.
Thanks for the explanation about a visual artist, I see what you mean now.
