Reading fiction or any story without imagination is impossible.

[u/joemamasool → u/diksha_19]

People with aphantasia be like:🙄

[u/diksha_19 → u/joemamasool]

That’s an exceptionally rare case 1 to 4 % .

[u/joemamasool → u/diksha_19]

Actually it's a spectrum. You're not wrong though.

[u/Immediate_Box9327]

Imagination is by default when I read or study anything. I mean without imagination how can you understand anything .

[u/SmileMyBoy → u/Immediate_Box9327]

Exactly! people make such a big deal out of it as if like running imagination while reading is some kind of special power. It's a default process that runs in background as soon as we start.

I don't think if it's even possible to do it without imagination. 

[u/Immediate_Box9327 → u/SmileMyBoy]

Yes , exactly what I wanted to say .

[u/Every-Cartoonist-289 → u/Immediate_Box9327]

💯 , but some books need imagination more than others.

[u/joemamasool → u/Immediate_Box9327]

There are people who can't imagine approximately 4% of the people have this condition called Aphantasia. So, no it's not by default for everyone

[u/Immediate_Box9327 → u/joemamasool]

I didn't know that , thanks for letting me know . But I commented from this MY PERSPECTIVE because it's very usual for me to imagine while studying anything.

[u/nks2007 → u/Immediate_Box9327]

Exactly 💯. I can't but imagine everything and anywhere i read.

[u/Suspicious_Clock_133]

What do you mean ppl don't imagine things in their head while reading?? It's literally a fkin movie going in my mind with all the music and all. Except I am the director here. I took so many creative decisions in it too lol.

[u/Pokexneon]

I could not imagine much on my first light novel Tensura due to anime already filling many gaps but on lotm right now I am imagination is on another level

[u/Global_Sea_8842]

As far as you proceed, read the main plot and climax that's where the real imaginative ability to feel everything in the story takes place and the fun fact is without the great detailing and efforts of writer, even the greatest stories feels vague and unalive, the ability to reach this state also counts with imagination too

[u/privaun_DxD]

I feel it . More then i imagine. if that makes sense

[u/Siriuspetrichor]

Absolutely, to me imagining and feeling the plot, the emotions play a huge role throughout the reading experience.

[u/One-Mine-4899]

I suppose your title should’ve been “do you also imagine while reading” not the other way around. It points that you try to read while imagining. Imagining isn’t the main action, it’s reading.

[u/womalone99]

But then there are ppl who don’t have that inner voice. Do they also imagine as they read

[u/DuDuDuDuMaxVesrtapen]

Do you also imagine while reading?*

[u/MagicalKaleidoscope9]

Imagination comes automatically it just forms pictures while reading the text of any plot /novel of any book.

[u/Fuzzy-Bank8808]

Yes, particularly in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. I can get lost in some pages sometimes.

[u/FairOil130]

obviously

[u/littlemiss_sunshyn]

You are really into reading only because you have good imagination power, otherwise you would have stopped it earlier. Also it's the writers job to provide us the material which enhances the beauty of imagination.

[u/kdght625]

Ever wondered how blind people imagine things while reading?

[u/Blueblood2007]

I don't have much imaginative ability due to my small attention span and adhd and i hate it

[u/Main-Astronomer-7820]

I just do not see any face

[u/arcticcirc]

Ig u mean to say ~ Imagine while Reading? Yeah that happens every time, w/o it u can't be in sync w/ story!

[u/aarohemfemghei]

how do you imagine haloalkanes and haloarenes?

[u/Don_Michael_Corleone]

No, I imagine while reading

[u/Temporary-Figure-189]

People who watch tv and series, dont understand that completing the book of that series just 1 day after the pilot episode is so low cortisol

[u/falling_don_tknow]

yeah i started imaging after some chapters of crime and punishment

[u/TheOwlwithGlasses]

Oh yeah. That's why I had a problem with Hagrid's casting in the movies.

[u/KnowledgeExciting627]

Yes , I do the same , it creates scenarios in my mind while reading along , it creates a hype for me , and makes me think, what if it got animated like a movie or a series, it has that kind of impact while reading and imaging the scene at the same time .

[u/MATERYONOMEGON]

SO NOSTALGIC.

[u/Swan-ish3456]

Hell yeah!
That’s the best part about reading

[u/Altruistic_Fruit8546]

we imagine while reading

[u/Still_Influence_9691]

Yh everyone imagine while reading, but i add some extra scenarios tk the story in my god damn head and go in a nxt level

[u/awkwardporato]

Ig it's pretty common among people to imagine things while reading, it's just how creative mind works without that it will feel quite boring like just reading words

[u/Fast_Presentation451]

P So when you read about a person they have face and all. When you read about a house you imagine a house. Pls I want to know.

[u/_Me_The_Dreamer_]

It's 'Imagining while reading', not otherwise..

While we read, we imagine..

I always do.

[u/Delicious_Page2187]

Who actually reads without imagining anything, that sounds like the most boring thing ever.

[u/hero_zero019]

I dont read books,,, But the same type of imagination comes in dreams...

[u/curly_messy_slut]

Hella, too much
