ive been able to see them as long as i can remember, for what i memorized well umm idk my grandparents died like 4 years ago and i can still see everything in the house as it was the day i last saw them..., then there are things like were i put my keys or something... i dont really know how to explain it, i can basicly just take a photo with my mind?.... as for how vivid....umm i like to say its as vivid as a dream? i dont know its hard to explain ... its almost like taking a picture, but it being a little faded out not a lot but just a little. lol really hard to explain but i hope that helped
You're scrambling for ways to describe it and you're kinda exaggerating. I have a photographic memory as well. Basically everything I've heard, seen, or overall experienced that stands out to me can be recalled in my thoughts within a second. I can describe stories of myself to other people four years after they've happened as well as I could the next day. My mom always used to get mad at me because whenever I'd tell stories they'd be so intricate and detailed that they'd go on forever.
"Learn to condensate or no one will ever pay attention to you!"
It was weird, I thought people thought like I did up until a little while ago when my friend told me that my stories are always so detailed and well recalled. I said, "Yeah, I have a photographic memory. Doesn't everyone think like that?" Guess not hahaha.
lol well im just trying to figure out what i have...
cause i can recall smells, what ive seen, what ive tasted, how something felt, and things i hear
i just want to find out what i have... and im not over exaggerating it, its what i remember seeing..
We can all do that. :PQuote:

You seem to be very good at a technique called visualization.
Exactly. You describe visualization, the creation of mental imagery, sounds, feelings, etc. Not anything to do with memory, other than that you're drawing from memories to create the images.Quote:

That's all I can remember.
Anyway...just cultivate. It's easier to cultivate than to synthesize.
