Seems like I probably have aphantasia. A good video here:

Basically, I’m unable to “see” images in my mind. For example, imagine you’re back in class and the teacher says, “Close your eyes and picture an apple”. Apparently most people will be able to see an apple in their mind. For me, it’s just black. Sure, I know that an apple is red, it’s circular, etc., but I only know those things because I’ve seen an apple before. I’m not actually able to picture the color red or an apple.
Definitely didn’t think people could actually “see” themselves on a beach or see an apple vividly in their mind.
I am able to recall my dreams from time to time because they’re like memories. But ask me if I can picture a family member in my mind and I wouldn't be able to.
Anybody else?
