Like if you imagined a pair of shoes on a table, can you walk over to the table and walk around it and see every angle? This shit is wild. Its like when I learned my vision is shit and I needed glasses and seeing clearly for the first time and learning that normally people can actually see things Works for me.

kinetika_ 04/23/22 6:59:05 PM #60:	WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted... Is this similar? I saw this a few months ago and I thought it was interesting. I'm more of a 2/3 type of person. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/6/2/AAdVIJAADJ_i.jpg Interesting post. I'd say I was a 3 on that scale. I can imagine things, but it's almost colorless/monochromatic. Also, the poster who mentioned daydreaming with their eyes open... I do that constantly. Sometimes it gives me panic attacks, and I suddenly question my own existence and lose my sense of self/where I'm at. --- PSN: PurifyNothing <cite>kinetika_ posted [p:964517041] in Did you kn...

Zanzenburger 04/25/22 12:12:48 PM #62:	Kloe_Rinz posted... How do you know if anything you see is real if you can just imagine whatever you want? No joke, I actually try to avoid lying for this exact reason. When I lie about having done something that I didn't, or lie about needing to do something to get out of a commitment, I will imagine myself doing that thing. Days later, the image will pop up into my head as something I already did and I confuse it with a memory and not a lie I made up. I have to actually run through the whole "memory" in my head to see what happens next, and if I realize that the memory just ends, then it was just something that I made up and didn't actually happen to me. Other times, I'll tell someone "I can't do x because I have to do y", when "y" is a lie I made up cause I don't want to hang out, then later in that evening before bed, I'm like "oh crap, I forgot to do y", and it takes me a moment to realize that I didn't really need to do it, but I definitely imagined myself doing it. --- Congratulations!
