Short description: Condition of having extremely vivid mental imagery

Hyperphantasia is the condition of having extremely vivid mental imagery.[1] It is the opposite condition to aphantasia, where mental visual imagery is not present.[2] The experience of hyperphantasia is more common than aphantasia,[3][4] and has been described as "as vivid as real seeing".[3]
