I got CEVs just fine doing shrooms last weekend so they must be more like dreams than mind’s eyes

the normal visual alteration stuff. no mind's eye opening or anything. although back then i wasn't really aware i was missing something so it wasn't really something i'd have thought to try.

yeah. time to find a psychonaut to see if they can go from cev to trying to get voluntary control to curing their blindspot


edit: guess it's been done? "Enhanced visual imagery after ayahuasca intake in a man with “blind imagination” (aphantasia)" https://akjournals.com/view/journals/2054/2/2/article-p74.xml. not quite sure why it's in one of the journals published by the hungarian academy of sciences when none of the authors seem to have an affiliation. little weird. but hey

Yeah I don't think that's in any way indicative of what a person "sees"- like I could picture the Mona Lisa in my mind's eye, I'm literally just remembering a static image that has been consistent throughout my lifetime but I wouldn't be able to reproduce it.

i'm pretty much completely aphantasic. it's hard to articulate the experience of imagination, but when i try to imagine things, we're talking something like perceiving shapes without a visual component. more like smell or touch than sight. it's been many years, but i never experienced any visual hallucinations with hallucinogens.

yeah that was my point. people were confused about how someone could remember what things looked like etc if they had aphantasia

Actually.

No visuals from shrooms, lsd, 500mg thc edible, mescaline, or dmt

Mild visuals from ayahuasca though, hung out w/ cosmic fractal serpents for about a dozen hours.
