Help! I am unable to conjure up mental images on my own.
In the absence of external stimulus, I can not create/recreate smell, taste, touch or even mental images in mind's eye, although I can create sounds, like reading reading in Morgan Freeman's voice.
On the flip side, when dreaming I can create vivid images, sounds, flavours, scents, name it. I know this because I am a LUCID DREAMER, i.e, I am fully aware that I am dreaming when dreaming, such that I can totally control my dreams; so I never experience nightmares smiley
I have not always been like this. At age 2-8 I could create vivid images. I have never had any concussions, just the regular 'konk' and knocks. I have never smoked eebo or taken psychedelics or other illegal stimulants, I am not an alcoholic
Please what could be wrong with me? This sh.it has been of major concern to me as it affects my VISUO-SPATIAL performance.
Please I will appreciate mature responses.
Thank you.
