Can you visualize things in your head?

Desty · January 04, 2017, 10:20:17 AM

Unbelievable, I came across lots of posts saying they can't imagine, say, a ball, or a triangle with colours.

Thinking back, I did do some practice visualization back in first grade, or "10th" grade, so I probably couldn't do it before, but because 2 years have passed it just feels so normal because I used to imagine grappling moves on the train ride home 5 days a week last year for 5 months.

What? How is this a practicable skill? There are people who cant think in pictures?

You're kidding, right? You mean to tell me you can't visualize whatever you want?

The only problem I have is physics. I can imagine a bus driving on a road, but the speed may alter, and it won't really have much weight. Unless the directions are very clear, like "I want this bus to drive this road", it's gonna be all wobbly

Yeah it's only way to have a non degenerate fap

I was able to do augmented reality.

One time I formed lines that connected lights, and another time I shot arrows around in the room.

I can essentially "draw" things with my mind. I can also imagine a chair leg breaking, and because of the bad balance it falls over.

Visualize Azathoth.

If you can't imagine or visualize stuff then you are dumb.

Delete Me · January 04, 2017, 11:24:58 AM

I can do close-to-perfect visual, auditory, and sensory imaginative sessions. My only challenge is keeping the scale of the specific entities (such as the Sangheili in my halo imaginations) the same and keeping a line of thought consistent for a long period of time.

I am a heavy daydreamer, though... That may be the reason why.

Kind thought that was just an innate thing for all people.

If you can remember a landmark then you can visualize things.

The only time I don't is when I'm remembering a song.

Yes

What do you think day dreams are

Aether · January 04, 2017, 07:32:16 PM

I have a whole fictional universe inside my head. It's become rather detailed over the years. One day I may be skilled enough to draw or paint it.

This is the first time I'm heard of this like it's a special thing. I've always been able to picture stuff in my mind.

Back when I was a Halo 3 freak and played it every single day, someone could ask me a question like "How many frag grenades are on The Pit?" and I could walk around the map in my head and count them.

But I mean, I don't really see anything of value in that.

In the skill or the map? Either way you don't get to decide, because environmental memory, or any memory for that matter, works like a camera that's recording. You can't stop it, but you can control what it's filming. We have the easiest time memorizing areas, which the Hippocampus is responsible for, and that's a very good skill.
