   I have #aphantasia, so I never have vivid dreams (I have zero visual imagery in my brain, actually). But last night I dreamed I owed taxes

     Pros of having aphantasia: unable to traumatize myself by thinking about bad moments from the past. Unable to visually anticipate future bad things. The visual to brain link is completely dead

     Cons: every other sensory feeling about anything is probably double, to make up for it

     I live in fear of one day being the only witness to a crime and being completely unable to describe what happened or the perp

     I also don’t have vivid dreams (and rarely remember dreams at all), but my most recent was a bizarre dream about waking up and finding that the operating system in my phone had been replaced while I slept.
