Hallucinating Vividly

I still don’t understand how y’all do that. And I’m very jealous.

Some people just cant, I think my auditory memories are more vivid so i more hear the words. The visuals can be distracting some times (my brain is cooked)

I don't read a lot of fiction, some, since I don't have visual imagination (unless I take small doses of DMT). It's just a list of information, which I could draw or dream about (a surprisingly high percent of animators and artists at firms like Pixar also report lack of visualization).

As others have noted, it’s not as common as one would think. I can do it and it helps to make the more boring aspects of my life much more interesting. It’s only a shame I’m a terrible artist and can only write things out narratively.

Paper is made from re constituted wood pulp, not slices of wood, but i suppose you could make a thick page from a slice of wood

Localized entirely within hexbear?

Well I mean not everyone; apparently there's a condition that causes people to not be able to visualize anything in their heads. There was a funny story on reddit about a woman who had her own condition that would cause her to associate....different things (?) with objects and had a vivid imagination, and her boyfriend who thought she was making it up that she could visualize stuff in her head, only to realize from all the people he talked to that he was alone in his inability to visualize stuff in his mind. Apparently it's some kind of rare condition.
