RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- 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
- Keep it clean and SFW
- 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.
