In this episode we discover how Lindsay Rice's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Lindsay is a 3rd grade teacher / presenter with ADHD, autism, and aphantasia. We agree that this is kind of a weird subject to try and talk about and it's difficult to get anywhere concrete with trying to understand someone else's internal mind experience. She has a mind's ear but only hears her own voice in her head. She experiences what she calls "webbed thinking", reads out loud to retain the information better, and, other than one specific nightmare, her dreams are like audio books.
