I'm very new to this. So I have no idea what I'm talking about. But after I found out about aphantasia (which seems to describe me accurately, I see blackness that's it) I've been asking my family to detail what they see when they see something in their mind. My husband is a creative person and enjoys art. So he gave me the most understandable explanation that I could process. He says it's like seeing a photograph in his mind. He says it's not like there's an apple floating in front of him that he can reach out and touch. But he can think of an image of an apple in his head. It may not be as detailed as an actual apple but he sees an image. From what I've gathered this is what most people see although some people are capable of seeing highly detailed life like images. I see black.
