Jan 9, 2009 - i have synesthesia and i thought i was pretty normal too. no one could understand why i remembered certain dates or the price of something we bought at the store. i can read and hear colors. listening to music makes it so much more colorful and enjoyable, i dont think i could imagine life without synesthesia.everything would be so...bland and different. and to have people call it a "condition", makes me kind of mad, its a gift, not a illness!

Jan 9, 2009 - Wow..I can taste a food and depending on what it tastes like it feels like a color...And i don't mean the color or temperature of the food I mean like I can taste it as a color.Is that a kind of synesthesia?O_O

Lacuervo Says:
Jan 9, 2009 - I'm not sure if I have synesthesia, for this may relate more to my autistic condition, but when I look at numbers I see red dots on them in certain places that correspond to the value of that number. So three dots on the number three for example. This is how I process numbers. When I see a number it is merely a template for the dots which is where I register the true value of it.

Jan 9, 2009 - this is really weird, actually. :Salthough it's fascincating, it gave me an odd shiver down my spin as I read through everyone's comments.and now that I think about it, whenever I hear a certain type of drum, I get the taste of popcorn in my mouth.Or if i'm sitting on the bus and I hear the engine, I immediately taste scrambled eggs.O_O
ShastaLOL Says:
Jan 9, 2009 - Congrats, your one of us synesthetes, :PThere are lots of types, and tasting sounds is one of the many, though not the most commom.

Jan 9, 2009 - i recently met a musician i'd admired for a long time. when we sat side by side, a beautiful square (or rhomboid) of cobalt to medium blue (if we moved) gently undulated between us-what a sensation- OMG that sounds TOO MUCH when it's put into words...i understand if some1 feels they want to call an ambulance! :D
