I have aphantasia, a mental disorder where I lack all internal visualization. I cannot “picture” things in my mind, I think in words and numbers and such. With this, I am very curious how the mental imagery works for the rest of you. Do you see it separate from your main vision? Does it get interposed? Is it like picture in picture? I’m baffled!
TIA.

I’m not an expert on this or anything, but the way I view it is if I put you in a blank room without any reference picture or anything and asked you to draw a picture of a tree, would you be able to draw a tree? Let’s just assume you are a decent enough artist to draw it however you wanted it to look.
I could be way off base with my explanation, but it’s my best go.
