I'm a Maladaptive daydreamer, not only could I "see" an apple, I can imagine it in my hand and look really close at the little details of an apple in real time.

I am not joking, my daydreams play out almost exactly like I'm watching a video, sometimes I look fondly at the story I crafted as if I just finished watching an episode. There is a very thin barrier for me that prevents me from just making up memories.

People can't imagine an apple in great detail? I thought this was just something everyone can do? Not only can I imagine it, or anything else perfectly, I can taste it, smell it, move it around in space inside my head...

I just assumed being able to do that was part of the human condition.

I can feel it too, the oily grippy weird skin of a freshly picked unwashed apple.

But I'm not seeing a red apple, I'm seeing a green apple with streaks of red, because I'm picturing my neighbors Apple tree.
