  • dyslexics are capable of creating 3D images in the imagination

    I can do this, but I don't think I have dyslexia. It's quite fun, and useful for clothing design. Shame I hardly ever get past the idea stage...

  • I've just discovered it's a thing from chatting with a lot of dyslexics. It's in our family (a cousin, my son) and I tend to spot them. It seems dyslexics are capable of creating 3D images in the imagination and with proper training make great technicians, inventors or architects (with wood, with metal, with sound like a composer). 

    What are you interested in and daydreaming about? 

    One of the practices of journalists, lyricists, novelists is to write every day - get all the words in your head out. Most of them will be nonsense or nothing to do with writing fiction or bios, but stuffed into all those words somewhere is the start of a next manuscript. 

    I think this same practice applies to daydreaming. The imagination is a powerful place. And there's a reason for it!
