Use your remembering faculties to visualize memories and hold them as much as you can.

i will look into this

i cant visualize anything at all. its quite startling because its never caused me trouble, i remember things and orientations of things and appearances and everything just fine, i even know what things im trying to visualize should look like so i can 'line up' the invisible thing with the visualization should i manage to actually produce one to check for accuracy, but its always just blackness when i close my eyes, and because i never had problems, and because i could always recall appearances of things as if i was looking at them, i never realized i was actually missing out until i was told that no, you actually 'hallucinate' things when you visualize, and doing so with your eyes open is an important skill for some things.

I think you are falling into the same trap a lot of people (me included) fell into after learning about aphantasia and then visualization.
Visualization is just what you usually see when you daydream and imagine something, when you said hallucination i think you believe that vizualizing something is like if it was actually there, if that were the case people wouldn't watch porn you know, they could just imagine having sex with whomever they wanted to and it would be like a vr experience but better as you can imagine that you're actually feeling it.
So you can visualize, your only problem might be that you are unable to concentrate on it.

I had this exact same line of reasoning at first, but was assured that you can actually manifest 'hallucinations' and that that's what people mean when they say visualize.
If what you say is true i am already really good at it

The closest thing to that would be the state between being awake and asleep.
You reach that state every time you start falling asleep and while waking up, outside of thise you can self induce it through meditation and deep daydreaming.
If you are in that state you can easily vizualize to a point that everything you imagine it looks, sounds, feels, smells and tastes real, just like while dreaming.
Speaking of dreaming, there is also lucid dreaming where you are in a dream yet conciously awake.

the post here  is true.
Visualization is essentially daydreaming, OR you can learn to do it with your eyes open & have your imagery superimposed over the visual input like augmented-reality or heads-up display.

If you want deeper immersion like how it is with lucid-dreaming then stop all beta-freq stimulants and buy an alpha-frequency-feedback-device.

In time you will be able to sit and have enough body-disassociation to instantly 'fall' into a lucid-dream thru body-disassociation, instead.

Your Beta-frequency brainwaves are what stops you from body-disassociation & full immersion within your dream-canvas location.
