mental imagery (voive and vision)

[Black Rose]

Do you talk to yourself in your own voice or the voices of others in your head?
Do you pretend to talk to others in a different voice than they have?
Do you listen to memorized music in your head?

I do not have a voice I talk to myself with, it is too weak.
I almost can't listen to music in my head.
I cannot see mental images.

Do you have suggestions how to make my inner voice louder? Or to change it to sound how I want it to sound.

Many things like that and more....

Yesterday I woke up hearing a song from eurythmis. I always have some sort of song running in back of my mind. I compose music in my head as well compulsively. As all other audio a lot of it is as if playing a recording other times I have some words just on repeat or phrases or whatever. Million of things. Sometimes I just have church bells or hammer sounds in my head. Other times it can be a pirate having an argument with his fellow parrot or whatever. Sometimes stuff from movies. Everytime I leave work I hear "yabadabadooo". Too much stuff and sometimes I dont pay attention to it. I just ever so often catch my self playing these things in my head randomly.

I do not have a voice I talk to myself with, it is too small.

No clue what you mean here. Small?

I do not listen to music in my head.

I mean its not like you have to.

I cannot see mental images.

Maybe experiment with some hallucigenics?
Sometimes I can push my inner images sideways as if they are gone, but even when I am focusing on outside world I can still feel and kind of know they are there. Its automatic. At any given point I can tell you what image is active in my head. BUt thats me your brain is different. Different brains different connections. Different connections different results.

No. bad zenraiden. Encouraging others to do drugs is bad.

I often hear a bunch of fragments of sounds in my head (especially when trying to sleep) but I can’t recall ever having an inner voice vocalizing my thoughts. I mean - thoughts don’t usually appear in the form of language

For science though. What if it does work. Dr. Feelgood

you have useless fixation over this topic. If I could i would give you 99% of my imagination/talking to myself/imaginary others.

I'm wasting my life over it. keeps me in perpetual adulthood limbo. Life's lows are ways stronger than how i imagine them to be and life's highs are so subtle than even comparing them with my ideals seems pointless. I can't accept how things are and I'm perpetually disappointed.

Of course, I would want my mental imagery to be under volitional control. It would be terrible if it was not. We have opposite problems.

Drums, bass and guitar but no keyboard? Your band sucks, dude

 

[Pizzabeak]

You don’t need keyboard since it mostly can just emulate anything not unlike artificial intelligence. Bands and songs are just ways for people to express their schizophrenic emotions and reconciliations.

When I am just thinking about something, it is in the form of me voicing my thoughts out in my head but, when I am considering something then I think in different voices with each having a different opinion (now I sound crazy) and when I am imagining something its really like a movie in my head anyways, I dont know what exactly happened to you in the past for you to be saying such, but everybody's brain is wired differently and I dont exactly understand what you mean by 'inner voice', as far as I know it is just a way to think. I mean you can imagine talking to yourself(fake it till you make it I guess?) and about making it 'louder' I never considered my inner voice as you said, to be in any range of decibels- it is after all just an abstract concept and there is no need to worry unless and until you just simply arent able to concentrate on you thoughts and feelings and have no idea what to do. I can never remember any of the lyrics of the songs I listen to nor can I replay them in my head(maybe occasionaly..)I just think that that just requires a minimum aptitude for music which I dont have also I don't think it is that uncommon to have difficulty forming mental images(I have not really studied psychology so can't really help you much) the question I really wanna ask you is- Is this a problem you just realized you had or you were used to having background noises in your head which disappeared? The only thing I can tell you is that the brain is a muscle and if you really want to work on it, then unlike an unused knife going blunt you'll have to flex it. If you can think clearly then I dont think it is that much of a problem, it will probably be more helpful for you to remain in the real world as it is far more practical and easier, often times I cant distinguish between reality and my daydreams and start questionin if what just happened actually happened.
