You say "apple" to me and I'm #1, glossy skin, insides, all that

And how in the hell does one navigate life, or enjoy a book, if they're not a #1?! Reading a book is like watching a movie. I subconsciously assign actor's faces to characters and watch as the book rolls on.

Yet #5's are not handicapped in the slightest. They're so "normal" that mankind is just now figuring out we're far apart on this thing. Fucking weird.

EDIT: Showed this to my wife and she was somewhat mystified as to what I was asking. Pretty sure she's a 5. I get frustrated as hell when I ask her to describe a thing and she's clueless. "Did the radiator hose pop off, or is it torn and cracked?" "I don't know!"

EDIT2: The first Star Wars book after the movie came out was Splinter in the Mind's Eye. I feel like I got that title. What's it mean to you?

Yeah - I can recall the dreams that are that vivid just like I would remember seeing a sunset or another impressive scenic view. I can’t see the view again in my mind, but I recall it.

A big one kind of recently was flying in my dream over this gigantic megacity theme park, I remember waking up and being awed by all the varied things I had populated in my imagination (had recently learned that other people could visualize anything so it was curious to me what I could do subconsciously). Right then I recalled it enough that I probably could have drawn some of it, now it is much more vague.

It does make me wonder if I could train myself to visualize while awake.

Interesting, this is my own theory so take it with a grain of salt. But I think everyone has wild confusion with the subject of the minds eye. We are all just recalling things, it's the same thing.

I believe the difference between 1-5 is much smaller than online discussing would make us think.

I can "see the apple" and I can "feel it crunch" but not actually. I'm just recalling the "idea" of those sensations.

If I stare off in my environment, I can place the apple on a table, I can "pick it up" but there is no apple. I'm simply recalling what it feels like to take that action, or what I would think based on previous experiences it would feel like.

I don't think anyone is able to legitimately hallucinate things into their reality (within reason of course haha, mental conditions and such) and I always leave these discussions feeling like people who align with 5 think 1's can legitimately create objects in their reality.

But I can only experience my mind, so we will probably never have a solid answer to this.

I would also be very interested to know if people who align with 5 are able to "train" themselves up the scale.
