Do you dream?''

I enjoyed this post very much. I did not know about this either!
I feel I must commend you on how you handled finding out you fell into this category. A less optimistic person would let it get to them and they'd feel "wronged" somehow. However, you take it as just another amazing aspect of the brain/life, and that's awesome!
I can see pictures/people/images in my head. When I'm bored I'll often play through favorite episodes of shows or movies. (in a shortened version of course.)
You also mentioned faces. I feel like those are honestly some of the toughest to nail perfectly. I'm not sure if this is just me, but next time you're in a deep conversation with someone and while making eye contact, "study" very intensely their features. When I do this, they almost always begin to look different from what I remember. Even family members!
The brain is weird, man...

a reply to: ypperst This is really interesting. I can ''see'' an image in my mind, but I have to really focus and think about it. It's not a vivid image that comes to my mind in an instant.
I've always had a hard time with guided visualizing meditations.
Maybe there is a scale or spectrum of this condition because words are easier in my mind than pictures. I'll have to read your link later, because I have a tiny headache right now.
Thanks for bringing this up!

I wonder if your pineal gland is the same as mine?
Maybe it's genetically different.
Maybe there's something to learned in that area.
So you never visually experience you dream?

I took the test and got 25%...low but not unusual? I wonder if people good at drawing or painting see very vividly in their mind?...I can't draw at all.
