When I first got the game Factorio, for the first week, I was having full on hallucinations of the little conveyor belt arrows twisting and snaking all over my vision when I closed my eyes. Even when I blinked, id get a flash of some grotesque squirming abomination. Scared the shit outta me because I’d never experienced that before nor even heard of it. I was relieved when I learned it was a known thing but it was still distracting as all hell.
But for me it changed, there were times in my life when I remembered my dreams much more (but still not that much). I think my dream memory declined a lot when I started meditating a lot.
As someone with aphantasia: I wish it did.
Do you get the Tetris effect where after playing you dream of Tetris?
I wonder if this guy ai slopped the same thing

I wouldn’t know, it’s extremely rare that I remembrer my dreams.
I almost never do either, and I am aphantasiac as well. I wonder if that is related.
I remember my dreams very vividly and I am also a l ucid dreamer where I can sometimes participate. I cannot see imagery in my mind when I’m awake.
It seems there are research hinting at this : https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2020/06/being--mind-blind--may-make-remembering--dreaming-and-imagining-

Maybe spending hours upon hours producing AI slop is the cure?
Well I guess I will never be cured then.
Honestly if AI can cure aphantasia like this I’d consider it an actually good application (the ethics of training the AI notwithstanding).
