Post Body

I only recently learned that Aphantasia is a thing and started Image Streaming but I’ve got 2 issues. When I start focusing on what I’m seeing I do what I can only describe as an “internal blink” (blinking while my eyes are already closed). Doing so completely “resets” everything back to darkness.

My second issue is that my eyes try opening if I’m trying to make out what I’m seeing. Like my brain is trying to make me use my eyes to see even though I know that I not “seeing” with my eyes. So I need to physically keep my eyes shut with my hands.

Does anyone have any ideas for possible fixes to these issues?
