I’m sure what I am describing is NOT hyperphantasia but the whole concept of hyper and aphantasia is so confusing to me. I’m also sure my questions have been asked by many people before me too lol.
I am able to daydream for hours, with my eyes open too, but when I close my eyes I see nothing but black. I can still daydream and imagine scenarios etc but it’s more like a “knowing” or like I’m seeing an image but not really seeing it. Is this aphantasia? I find it hard to imagine (no pun intended) that I have it because I’m such a good daydreamer. There’s just so much about it that I don’t understand lol. I have been in the aphantasia subreddit but wasn’t able to get a clear answer. Maybe I never will 🤣.
When I asked my husband to picture an apple he tells me that he can literally see a hologram of an apple and turn it around in his mind. That blew my mind! He also claims to have a photographic memory so I think he is closer to hyperphantasia on the spectrum.
