Posit strong correlation with aphantasia. Would be hard to operate with no mind's eye and no inner monologue.

Complexity explorer. Residing in the liminal.

I have aphantasia, but a strong inner monologue

I wonder if folks with aphantasia can dream. If they can, it should be pretty easy to imagine objects. 
But then again, I am not a neuro-scientist

I can dream perfectly vividly, but cannot visualize anything when awake. I’m on the more extreme side — I can’t summon forth any imagery, which is unfortunate for me because I can’t even remember family, friends, or my spouse’s face beyond rote list of details.

@quillingqualia.eth Zero imagery for me when awake, inner monologue usually a walk through of the environment if I'm trying to navigate or remember a route. Very little imagery when dreaming, just occasionally in a liminal state. Recall is verbal description, and memory largely semantic not prescriptive.
