@patrickrhone holy crap. I never had a way to describe this to someone before. But I think this is me.

I tell people “I only dream in audio.” Meaning, when I have dreams, I see nothing. I just hear voices. So I always know it’s not real. I’ve never been scared by dreams as a result.

And when I close my eyes, it’s much the same. I can recall sounds. And I can describe things to myself in my head voice such that I can get enough context to process ideas. But I can’t “see” anything, per se.

Fascinating.
