You know, I have learnt that I have aphantasia several years ago and it opened my eyes to many things. I have thought that people say a lot of things metaphorically.

- Imagine a beach when meditating

- If you are nervous about giving a presentation, imaging that the audience is naked

- Count sheep in order to fall asleep fast

- Undressing someone with your eyes

- Visualising what is happening in the book you are reading.

I was completely sure that these were just metaphors. Imagine my shock when I realised that the majority of people can actually DO IT.
