I can visualize just fine, but literally cannot imagine smells. It makes adding full sensory fluff to tabletop games frustrating, and makes me get confused when authors do it to any great extent.
i just realized i can't do smells either holy shit. i can recall memories of smells but can't conjure them up in my head despite being able to do full dive holodeck immersion. also when i dream everything is odorless.
You're welcome for that knowledge of your limitations comrade :D
I can imagine smells, but it feels like some are locked. I can smell hot asphalt, vinegar, apples, and grass clipping, for example, but I don't remember what vomit smells like. I can feel it for a second when I imagine the sound of vomit, but it seems to activate my throat, not my nose.
