I typed a long thought out response and 4chan ate it.

Basically the long story short is I see "nothing" now. Functionally its only really limiting in creative outlets (which does include learning). Previously I could, as an example, visualize a complete four stroke engine. I could see every piece of machinery, and run through each stage of the engine, break it apart, play it back, etcetc, all in my mind. Now I can describe the process intellectually, and externally I doubt anyone could tell I'm producing it in more of a rote fashion then a visual processing one. I think that's how people with aphantasia learn - rote imprinting.

I do have a sort of "vibe" or "perminition" of what something is, but I'm pretty sure I'm "seeing" some old memories, and not actually visualizing anything. I'm not "seeing" anything with this to be clear, but I'm sort of "feeling" it. I don't really know how to describe it, but it might be what the 4 is supposed to represent?

Something interesting is that my ability to visualize during lucid dreaming is completely intact still. I can completely visualize anything I want when I dream, as before. Helps keep me sane desu
