How does it affect your ability to enjoy books? Or type of books you’d enjoy?
Do you tend to prefer more visual medium like video(movies, tv), or comic books?

For me, the book and my surroundings completely disappear, the whole thing turns into a dream-like movie experience. I don’t see letters or words at all, it becomes an unconscious process that keeps feeding the dream and it looks similar to fuzzy AI videos.
Sometimes the process of getting pulled out into reality again can be brutal: suddenly it’s 3h later and I have to look around and take a moment to settle back. If you dream while you sleep, it’s like when you suddenly wake up while you were in an intense dream, takes a moment to process. I’m really completely gone in another world the whole time.
That’s what I’ve heard other people say, and it just sounds insane. You’re in a world of fantasy literally seeing things that aren’t there and somehow that’s normal behaviour. Crazy!
But I guess it seems weird to you how I can do anything without seeing things. I’ve had someone online get very angry with me for saying I have no visual imagination, because how can I even read and recognise letters if I can’t see them in my head?
Humans are very weird sometimes! It’s nice that there are so many different ways to exist :)
