Am I really an aphant?

Hey so after 18 years of life I was talking to some friends about imagination and I realized that I can barely voluntarily imagine stuff and even if I do, All I see is darkness and a weird foggy shilouette that barely resembles the object in mind. I believe this fits in the definition of an aphant, but the thing is, while reading books I unconsciously imagine the scenarios and characters, sometimes even moving, but if I were to want to do this voluntarily it's impossible. Additionally, while dreaming I believe I do see both colours and details. What do you guys think?

edit: I know it's weird and stupid, but also I am not sure if I am seeing it the way other people see it, or I'm just thinking that I can
