Having the ability to see images in my mind. Sounds like a cool ability, not sure if it would be a curse though.

Sounds like you have aphantasia. Wish more research was done on it, I only learned about it when I was randomly talking with my friends and one of them said they couldn't imagine an image.

I'm stuck with the ability to imagine complete scenes but not be able to draw what I imagine haha

I totally hate aphantasia.

One time I did mushrooms and thought about an apple and I kinda saw it and was amazed. I've never been able to do it again though

I was in hospital earlier in the year for surgery, they gave me ketamine afterwards....started seeing shit.

It was weird.

Hated it for the dissociative effect; but the seeing shit for a few hours after was strange, but ok.
