Is it still visual? If yes, how does one without the ability to visualize in their heads, visualize during the REM state?
In: Biology
In one study of 21 people with aphantasia, 17/21 reported that they had experienced images during dreams (study: https://www.pure.ed.ac.uk/ws/files/21561082/Sala_etal_C_2015_Lives_without_imagery.pdf). It’s not a large study, but it seems that most people with aphantasia do still have visual images during their dreams. For the ones that don’t get visual imagery, even during dreams, I’d imagine their dreams are similar to blind people. Blind people dream, they just don’t see anything during those dreams.
