I’m thinking about sports as an example. I used to do fencing, and sometimes we would learn a new technique or I would imagine one to do, and I would imagine myself doing it, then it was almost like autopilot where my body would do it just how I imagined, like it was easy. It didn’t happen very often but when it did it felt really cool.

    No, I have aphantasia so cannot visualise images (fortunately my brain seems to have compensated with Daredevil-esque sound capabilities / eidetic memory for sounds).

    It causes so many difficulties. Earlier I saw a comment someone had made mocking people complaining about the lack of planet-side maps in Starfield, saying people who can’t navigate by memory are stupid goobers. I’m not stupid, just my brain doesn’t hold images very well (I’ve been practicing and can hold an image for a split second before it dissipates).
