I think we’ve done some sort of eidetic imagery, I can sort of recall an event, but there’s little emotion or meaning to it. I have to kind of fake it. Very frustrating.
I read up a bit more on photographic memory and learning disabilities. I think I’m more confused now. Hypersensitive to sound, thank goodness for my ear protectors!
I did read one study where a person (male) couldn’t visualize something with his eyes closed, but with his eyes open, he had no problem. Apparently the brain works the same whether you are imagining or actually looking at something.
I’ve had an experience where a movie-like image appeared, in black and white, very detailed. it didn’t last long, maybe 10-20 seconds. I was at a 7 day retreat at the time, usually this sort of thing is dismissed as a “makyo” or something that the mind makes up to amuse itself. But I really wonder now what it was. I do get migraine auras periodically.
