I'm a Maladaptive daydreamer, not only could I "see" an apple, I can imagine it in my hand and look really close at the little details of an apple in real time.

I am not joking, my daydreams play out almost exactly like I'm watching a video, sometimes I look fondly at the story I crafted as if I just finished watching an episode. There is a very thin barrier for me that prevents me from just making up memories.

I'm a maladaptive daydreamer as well but mine is more of a 2 leaning into a 3. I don't have as much control over my daydreams and need music and/or motion to really get them in gear. It's kinda like watching them on a secondary screen (like at a computer) while you're working on the first one? I suppose?
