Aphantasia
"Aphantasia is the suggested name for a condition where one does not possess a functioning mind's eye and cannot visualize imagery."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ap…someon recently did a reddit AMA
https://www.reddit.com/r/casuali…"I can recall things, but I cannot see them. I know what the front of my house looks like: The front door is wooden and has 2 stone steps in front of it. The bench is to the right with a large window into my living room above it, and there's an awning directly above the door. Above all that, there's my brother's and my windows. I know all this simply because I lived there and I know they're there from experience, but I cannot see even a vague picture of anything I just mentioned."
"I very rarely dream, and when I do I usually just remember a list of plot points in the morning."
"I've always had trouble motivating myself and doing the whole "picture yourself in 5 years" thing. I feel like me not being able to actually see myself in that place I want to be maybe plays into that."
"I can't even imagine (heh) what it's like to be able to see images that aren't there."

"From the mediaX Conference “The Experience of Immersion”, Gordon Wetzstein with the Department of Electrical Engineering and leader of the Stanford Computational Imaging Group examines how VR displays must overcome the prevalent issue of visual discomfort to provide high-quality and comfortable user experiences. In particular, the mismatch between vergence and accommodation cues inherent to most stereoscopic displays has been a long standing challenge."

"Star jelly (also called astromyxin, astral jelly) is a gelatinous substance sometimes found on grass or even on branches of trees.[1] According to folklore, it is deposited on the Earth during meteor showers. Star jelly is described as a translucent or grayish-white gelatin that tends to evaporate shortly after having “fallen.” Explanations have ranged from the materials being the remains of frogs, toads, or worms, to the byproducts of cyanobacteria, to the paranormal.[2][3][4][5] Reports of the substance date back to the 14th century and have continued to the present day.[5][6]"
