Sorry this is short, there isn't much research on this!
》 Hyperphantasia is the condition of having extremely vivid mental imagery. It is the opposite condition to aphantasia, where mental visual imagery is not present. The experience of hyperphantasia is more common than aphantasia, and has been described as "as vivid as real seeing".
》 Aphantasia is often reported as affecting 2 percent of the population, but some estimate it is just 0.7 percent, while 2.6 percent meet the definition of hyperphantasia.
》 A person having this condition often views it as a gift or a curse, depending on that particular person's perspective. With such vivid imagination, it helps a person's creativity like writing, art, or photography. Speaking of photography, a person with hyperphantasia can picturise how he/she wants the photograph to be and adjust his/her camera accordingly.
》 Very few people are known to have hyperphantasia. Still, rumors had it that Mozart, one of the famous composers globally, has a condition that was quite similar to hyperphantasia. People of his time have claimed that he could come up with music very easily.
》 People also suspected Nikola Tesla to have hyperphantasia as he was able to invent so many objects. Rumors had it that he was able to build inventions in his head to see all the parts and materials that would be needed to build all those inventions.
》 Having mild hyperphantasia symptoms is not a bad thing as long as you can function in your daily life, like going to your workplace, interacting with people, helping others, etc. Still, if your hyperphantasia stops you from doing every little thing in your life and makes you overanalyze every small decision you take, then you might need some professional help.
