This has been in the science news lately.https://www.discovermagazine.com/mind/why-some-people-cant-visualize-images-and-may-dream-in-wordsSomething like one to three per cent of the population can't visualizeobjects. I wonder if such people can still design electronics.And maybe 10% of the population is never really in the dark. They (we)always see flashing geometric patterns, which are distinct fromhallucinations.


I wonder if that's related to not having an 'Internal monologue '. Eg; talking to oneself.

It's the only intelligent conversation I can get some days :)

Some people really talk to themselves, out loud, which can be confusing to others.

I have a very quiet mind like that, but I can speak in my head. One of my sisters can't--if she wants to work out what she's planning to say, she has to say it under her breath.

I'm referring to internal, not out loud. Search 'internal monologue ' on youtube. It's interesting, never knew there were people like that.

It's a real thing, but it doesn't come with a reverb effect like in the movies.
