>>I can run a simple orrery of Earth and Moon motions around the Sun, to explain why the phases of the Moon look the way they do or why most artificial satellites rise in the west.

I'm not aphantasic, but my visual imagination isn't good enough to pull this one off, and I was wondering:

Does the sun tend to rise and set in the correct directions in your dreams?

My dreams generally don't have correctly oriented suns (most recently I had a dream involving being caught off-guard by a solar eclipse while trying to figure out bus schedules, and when I woke up it occurred to me to put two and two together with [the place and time provided by the bus schedules] and [the sun] and work out that it was rising in the northwest), and I'm curious whether being more able to grok the movements of major celestial bodies has helped you with that sort of thing.
