Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

No, I see things in an internal space that doesn't exist physically.

It's difficult for me to intentionally do; if I'm just thinking it happens naturally but trying to force it to happen so I can study it is difficult. But it's not like I hallucinate objects into the room with me. Like, I'm looking at a table across the room, and I'm imagining a pepsi can sitting on it. My mind re-creates the image of the table with the pepsi can on it.

Something I think I'm noticing: My "mind's eye" doesn't have peripheral vision, I get a fairly narrow field of view that's about like my central vision. I don't imagine in widescreen.
