Thread: Synesthesia.

Do you have it?

I do. Enriches my life


Also, dreaming in black and white removes you from the synesthete list pretty much instantaneously.

I have a weak form of letter/number-colour synesthesia, but I hardly even notice it now. It was stronger when I was a kid.

I also see shapes sometimes when I listen to music. It's even helped me remember a tune a few times, but that's rare. Usually it neither helps me nor hinders me.

Yes. Yes I do.

Dreaming in black and white means you have bad recall.

No but I remember another member on this thread talking about it. Could of been "A Roxxor" I'm not entirely sure. But it sounds rather amazing and beneficial.

I don't.. sucks...

Why is that?

Is red really red?

I wish I had it!

There was an experiment to find out whether synesthetes dream in black and white. None of them said yes to this, and some people were shocked, really shocked, to find out about this. I, in fact, was one of those people. I mean, dreaming in black and white seems like losing part of the dream to me!

So if you see letters in colour and if I convince you that some squiggly lines are a K, then it should become coloured?

Numbers are strongly linked with colours for me, and some letters.

*raises hand*

I've got the kind where things have a location, 'spatial-sequence' (aka Number-Form? It's really got nothing to do with numbers though...). Like, music has a location, depending on the loudness and its pitch, and days of the week, and years, and months all have positions in relation to my body. I just thought it was a weird quirk I'd made up until I learned that it's pretty typical for people to come up with the exact same arrangements or not to come up with them at all Very strange.
