Can dreams be a way of visualization for people with Aphantasia?

I dream a lot too. Are your dreams colourful? Mine is mostly Black & White, not as exciting as Torin...

that's really interesting. My dreams are definitely not colourful as yours, but it's always very vivid. In general, I feel like I didn't get much sleep as I feel like I dream all nights, every single day, and it's a very tiring feeling as I am always 'active' or 'doing' something in the dreams. Are you dreams mostly 'fictional' or based on memories?

Dear Torin, I have the same experience as you (I have Aphantasia but I am a vivid dreamer). Out of interest, do you see clear image and colours in your dreams? My dreams are usually in B&W, although they are not perfectly clear, I can remember things like the buildings are in round shape, and I know the people that I 'met' in my dream. Keen to hear about your experience.
