god yeah, i have aphantasia, but i also dream, so i often experience these unquantifiable dreams, which often bleed into reality, because my brain has never experienced anything other than "physically observing the world" so anytime i dream half the time my brain is just confused as fuck and considers it to be a real event that actually happened, because fuck it why not.
That has been the source of confusion more times than i'd like to admit. My more wacky and obviously not real dreams help a lot with that though.
it's weird as fuck waking up, and having no mechanism to recall something that "happened" you have this like, weird fleeting state of emotion and vague comprehension of what happened. But no way to visually process it.
