Thread: I'd just like to mention Synesthesia.

OK, so I have synesthesia (if this is a word alien to your vocabulary, well, Google is your friend ), and this is what causes me to have, what I think is a pretty exceptional memory for numbers. Also, this gives me colors to associate any word, letter or number to. Now, naturally, you'd think I'd be able to V-WILD due to me seeing colors, so all I'd have to focus on would be the word lucid, right? Well, nope. Numbers and sound are so much easier for me to recall. In fact, a number like 10c11 (shows up as a 'humming', bright word [lucid]). I can remember obscure things that have dates, too, because they locations in reference to my mind's eye. Timelines help so much with this, as you'd expect. In fact, all I'd have to do is probably create a timeline showing what happens over different courses of time when one WILDs. Or, maybe I should A-WILD (audio wake induced lucid dream?).

Well, I guess I'm just saying,
"TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR SYNESTHESIA! IT DETERIORATES OVER TIME!"

I want to plug my mind into your brain and experience what it's like.

Seriously, imagining how your mind works, or any extraordinary minds/brains, is like visualizing the size of the universe.

*writhes in mind-agony*

Synesthesia is awesome.

So eh, how much of Pi can you remember?
Sorry, but extraordinary people with their brains and minds are really interesting #_#


Daniel Tammet - The awesome autist guy, also has synesthesia.

He memorized 22,514 digits of Pi.
Holy hell.
How.

*writhes on in mind-agony*

EDIT: And what happens in your dreams when you think about numbers then?
Hmm.

And if you use it for gaining lucidity then it's cheating ;_;

Pi? You mean 3.141592? Ah, at least that's how many digits I need to be more than accurate for my age

You know, I've always wondered what it would be like to climb into someone else's mind and see what they see, though I've concluded that what they see would be 'filtered' into what I see so it wouldn't be correct.
Qualia.

Synesthesia pwns

Pi, you said?
3.141 592 653 589 793 238 462 643 383 279 502 371 693 99
Not so sure about the last eight digits XD
that's 41 numbers of pi, sir

Synesthesia sounds awesome, I certainly would like to experience it sometime

Yup, as I posted in your other thread. I haven't really found a way to use it though. Even when I fall asleep listening to music, and I lie there following it around in my head, it's never really helped me to wild. Neither has any other type, like thinking of dates or personalities. Although I suppose if I started to think of TIME and just followed it up and down year after year that would get extremely boring and I'd fall asleep

I'm going to develop synesthesia.

You can't stop me!!

Y'know, the brain makes connections if you use them, and break connections if you don't. If I start to think of colors and shapes every time I see numbers, my brain should start to make a connection. AKA, I'll get a homemade version of synesthesia.

Then I'll just train it, and become a real person-with-synesthesia.

That's what my brain told me, trying to remember.
