No. I replied in a sibling comment, but even in the few dreams I remember there is no visual image at all.

All right, how about when you’re tired or drifting off to sleep? I can certainly see things vividly in my mind I during those times. It seems to me that being awake suppresses such visualizations, and that this is adaptive.

I have complete aphantasia when awake, but I do have visuals when dreaming. I can tell when I cross some threshold of awake-ness because the visuals of the dream I am having disappear (the dream usually continues, without visuals for a bit longer until I am more awake). It is a weird experience.

Nah. Some people don't remember dreams.
