Frequently Asked Questions

Is aphantasia considered a disability?

No. Prof. Adam Zeman and cognitive scientists classify aphantasia as a healthy, natural spectrum of cognitive diversity. Aphantasics frequently excel in programming, abstract logic, mathematics, and high-speed problem solving.

Can people with aphantasia dream visually?

Yes. Many individuals with aphantasia report visual dreams because involuntary REM dreaming activates different neural pathways than conscious, top-down voluntary mental imagery.
