MODERATORS
So I'm really not sure where I lie on the scale. I try to imagine the apple but I really can't create any kind of image.
I read a bit about this and tried to imagine faces of people I know and had a little more success. However it is like I'm recreating each part at a time and as soon as I start to imagine another part, the previous disappears. I.e. I imagine the right side of the face, eye and cheek, the go to imagine the left side and the right side fades or disappears completely, imagine the hair, and the face is vague at best etc.
But also, I can also have incredibly vivid dreams!
It's almost like imaging an apple is too trivial for my mind to bother with! I try to imagine my front garden and its there, but rather vague and monochrome, so maybe 3-4.
Exactly the same for me, thanks for putting it in words.
