For instance, what is described in the first post (images while listening to music, the way of thinking of movies) is actually how a brain works. It can seem not normal if you never paid attention, though, and then some article about synethesia brought it to your attention and you suddenly think that you're a synethesic person
Slightly off-topic, but too many people seem to misunderstand what this is about. You can't easily miss the fact that you've got synethesia. Sorry to disappoint you, guys.

It is known that there are only very FEW people with FullBlown Synesthesia, and MANY with synethesia in weaker forms. I can Imagine that ''Diagnosed'' Synethesia would be really profound and hard to miss.
But it's not like a YES or NO question. some people have it really strong, the way a certain typical Smell can just Summon up an extrerme Whirl of Emotions and memories, or seeing/thinking of green when listening to Certain Music. While others may only get brief and less strong memories and emotions from external(usually Olfactory:Smell) impulses.
