Aphantasia
"Aphantasia is the suggested name for a condition where one does not possess a functioning mind's eye and cannot visualize imagery."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ap…someon recently did a reddit AMA
https://www.reddit.com/r/casuali…"I can recall things, but I cannot see them. I know what the front of my house looks like: The front door is wooden and has 2 stone steps in front of it. The bench is to the right with a large window into my living room above it, and there's an awning directly above the door. Above all that, there's my brother's and my windows. I know all this simply because I lived there and I know they're there from experience, but I cannot see even a vague picture of anything I just mentioned."
"I very rarely dream, and when I do I usually just remember a list of plot points in the morning."
"I've always had trouble motivating myself and doing the whole "picture yourself in 5 years" thing. I feel like me not being able to actually see myself in that place I want to be maybe plays into that."
"I can't even imagine (heh) what it's like to be able to see images that aren't there."
