    I'm not stupid, I don't have any mental conditions, and my memory's just fine.

    It's just that I can't picture things in my head. When I daydream off into a fantasy world, I just THINK about doing the things I'll do. I don't see myself doing it, or anything.

    I can recognize any face. But I can't picture my own in my mind. I can picture my family members like my mom, but only because I see them all the time. For people I don't see all the time, I can remember the details and physical attributes but I can't picture them.

    It's not as bad as I'm making it sound though. If I concentrate I can see it. But not easily.

    Well now that you've read all that... is this normal? Is there anything I can do to help this?

    By the way, I can only remember one dream in my life. And I can only remember one event in that dream. And it's stupid and random too. Some bully took my erasers that I bought and I was sad.

    It's normal dude. They say it's always hardest to picture faces of people you know well.

    I hardly ever envisualise anything literally. I see things in shapes and emotions. Confusing sometimes though, as I don't think everyone does this.

    Example of random conversation


    some person : 'So would you agree with this concept Sonja?'
    me: 'No'
    some person : 'Why not?'
    me: 'Doesn't feel right'
    some person: 'In what way exactly?'
    me: 'It's too angular, it doesn't flow right'
    some person: '...'

    My therapist had a field day when I tried to explain this to her

    Didn't really understand a damn word of that.

    I picture things in my head all day...mostly nude women.

    Have you tried picturing them outside your head.
    Now go away.
