DMT is like a one-way ticket to the "Cosmic Carnival," where time doesn’t exist, the clowns are made of fractals, and everything you’ve ever questioned about the universe is answered... in a language you forgot as soon as you wake up.
Yeah, until recently, I didn’t know it was a thing, and I’ve never been diagnosed, but I’d be REALLY surprised if I didn’t have very strong hyperphantasia.
We have very strong hyperphantasia in my family. And one of them has been creating memories , which really has been tough for the rest of us as we can not always protect us against more "accusing" memories this if we can't find hard proof.
Same. When I’m really tired (or buzzed), it tends to make me pick and choose between what I actually see and hear, and what my mind is doing. Like, I can’t do both at the same time like usual.
hi! I am very convinced I have hyperphantasia. I would love to have a chat about this topic edit: I think it’s worth noting that I have a masters degree in counseling, and have been narratively expressing my viewpoint while comparing inner dialogue with the minds eye. this feels like my life’s work and I can LITERALLY see it in front of me. I just have no idea if it makes sense to anyone else
Tons of sense. It’s interesting to me how many people who have this end up in counseling. I guess it’s because you can literally put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
Interesting, I remember asking my mom how my cousin is doing after a divorce, she looked at me like I was crazy. Turns out they never got divorced, nor had any significant issues. I still don't know where the hell I came up with this information, but to this day I have a vivid memory of it happening 🤦🏻♀️
Actaully it doesn't happen in that was usually. Because we usually think those with using our minds and knowing that. The thing he said is very rare to see.
I will say though, that does happen. Not that same degree, but I’ve definitely imagined things that I later thought were memories, or even dreamt things I thought were memories.
@@joshwhite1606 I’m thinking of starting a RUclips channel on hyperphantasia, or what I call IVA (Imagination Visualization Ability). There’s either a lot of misinformation or none at all, and building the confidence to start is my biggest challenge. IVA refers to the ability to create vivid, detailed mental images, almost like watching a movie in your mind. It’s powerful for creativity and problem-solving but can sometimes feel overwhelming. After four years of research with various universities, I believe my unique perspective could help others better understand and embrace this ability.
@@The27thPilot yeah, that’s what I have. Have you ever seen those RUclips videos of drone footage where they fly through an abandoned building, down the halls, around corners, up through the roof, back down, etc? I can do that in my mind for essentially any building I’ve ever been in. All my memories too aren’t necessarily from my perspective, they’re 360 degrees, or drone footage too. They’re imaginations of other people’s perspectives from their descriptions of the same events, overlayed to make a single video from any and all perspectives. Dreams too are hyper realistic, to the point of lucid dreaming (though, that’s more of a skill than nature).
@@joshwhite1606 Wow, that’s absolutely fascinating! I can so relate to what you’re describing. It’s amazing how your mind can create such vivid, dynamic imagery-not just in dreams but while you’re awake too. That ability to visualize in 360 degrees, like drone footage, and even overlay perspectives is such a unique gift and skill to harness. This is exactly why I write historical, fact-based stories. My mind lets me step into the past and experience it as though I’m really there. I can see the scenes unfold, feel the textures, smell the air, hear the sounds-it’s a full sensory experience. It’s like my imagination becomes a time machine. With your ability, the potential for storytelling or creative projects is huge! Have you thought about where this gift could take you? It feels like there are no limits!
Is there any way to stop this? I deal with intrusive thoughts on top of this and its making my life a waking nightmare, my minds eye is so vivid that even when im reading sometimes or doing anything with my eyes open, I can see my minds eye simulaneously, not hallucinating the images (projecting them on to the external things im seeing) but still seeing them in my mind, I genuinely feel like its ruining my life and I really want it to stop, the images can be chaotic and warped and really disruptive to my day to day
@@jackieestacado5651 there are ways of changing those images, and getting more control of them, and reducing their impact on you -but we don’t really have a way of switching imagery off at the moment
My advice (someone with a similar degree of mental projection), make it your super power, not your condition. Find creative solutions to problems because you can literally see the problems. Start running simulations on what could, would, and will happen. Be prepared for anything, because you e already seen it happen. This isn’t an illness, it’s a super power.
I personally just fill my time when my imagination is the most active. I will read a book before bed or play a video game during my free time. Because I sometimes experience anxiety when I am not preoccupied.

I do have hard times distinguishing my thoughts frm reality sometimes

Not all people imagine that a conversation they had is real some may but not all.
No, but it is cool. I’d never considered that the reason my memory is so wonky is because of this.

@ yeah, I find I fully understand everything I see, but have no ability to explain, show, or express it.
