Where can I find a chart of diagnosed aphantasia cases by year? I have a theory that they have been increasing.

>> No.14823307

TDCS

Both cure aphantasia and aphasia.

Can people with aphantasia dream? Or is there just nothing?

No, I want to see the trend of diagnosed cases over time, I don't care about the cure.

It's a miscommunication. You're not supposed to literally see shit as though you were dreaming. It's in your head, dummy. Like on a separate monitor. Nobody's closing their eyes and having stuff literally appearing in the black.

Yes. Why wouldn't we? Do you also think we're blind?
I guess it wouldn't be a surprise since retarded philosophyfags think aphantasia = p-zombie.
>>14823525
Nah, with aphantasia it's hard or outright impossible to visualize. I can visualize when I'm dogshit tired but normally I can't.

>>14823645
If you can’t create images in your mind from thoughts, then what would your mind be creating when you dream? Do you just visualize yourself in a room with no light? No walls? No sound, or time?

Sounds retarded, no offense

Here is what I think; aphantasia is a symptom of a transformation humanity is experiencing. There are studies that show that after routine usage of gps to get around in your car, parts of your brain that would normally handle such navigation shut down. This isn't because of something magical about the gps itself, it is simply matter of surrendering your choice to a process... that is, the process of the gps. Today thanks to our government, our chosen beliefs and lifestyles, and the internet, you live a life of process. It is very difficult to deviate from what is the accepted way to live, and the way to live is to allow all these processes to bring you the things you need to live. Media even brings you the things you need to be happy.

Living our lives like this to increasing degree over the course of generations has led to an atrophy of parts of our minds that are needed to choose. Awareness, understanding, the ability to visually imagine different possibilities. None of these things are truly needed to get by in the world today, so our ability to do it is rotting away. This is a neurological disorder, and like so many of those it is brought about by our physical environment, the place where our minds become manifest.

As we develop tech, ideas, and lifestyles to increasingly allow more and more of us to exist, and to live in closer proximity to each other, this process only accelerates. We are spreading our spark of life across a greater population and as we do it grows more and more dim. More of our senses will begin to fail, but as it will start in our minds we will not be able to notice it. This is the slow death of humanity, to expand outward like a cancer until we have lost the capacity to understand what is going on. There will be no godlike AI that ends us, but as we slip into our new homeostasis we will literally be so degenerated that we won't be able to tell the difference from our new clockwork caretaker and what is alive itself.

Since hardly anyone can even agree on what visualization is, it seems like it would be difficult to diagnose, assuming this condition even exists at all, and is not just a failure to communicate since internal subjective experience cannot be shared with words.

If this is what's going on, we would have the same confusion over phrases like "I've had that song stuck in my head all day". "What do you mean you hear the song in your head?" etc.

Also people discuss how they do or don't have an inner monologue. How is anyone supposed to be confused about that?

Some people literally can't do that. At all. How do you miscommunicate that you can't see anything of the imagination at all in any shape or form?

People claim to have had the ability to visualize then lost it after surgery for example. Or claim to not visualize then acquire the ability with practice. So if you don't want to compare one person's description to another you don't have to.

Well in the case of an inner monologue. How you experience it, is separate from it existing. An inner monologue does not need to be experienced as your own speech inside your head. brain states of any kind that correspond to words qualify as an inner monologue.

>> No.14825729

Have you ever, at all, even once, not been sure whether what you experienced was real or not, a dream or not, an hallucination or not ?
If yes, you're insane, i.e. phantasic, and perceive things that are not the result of photon hitting your photoreceptive cells, and sound wave hitting your tympans, and others senses.

Simple as.
