Aug. 5th, 2008 10:21 pmalong the "seeing sounds" vein, i'm looking up what that is actually called...
Synesthesia
and it can be many different things: perceptions of numbers as colors, etc.
as wikipedia says:
In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme → color synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colored, while in ordinal linguistic personification, numbers, days of the week and months of the year evoke personalities. In spatial-sequence, or number form synesthesia, numbers, months of the year, and/or days of the week elicit precise locations in space (for example, 1980 may be "farther away" than 1990), or may have a (three-dimensional) view of a year as a map (clockwise or counterclockwise).
i also found someone who experiences emotions as flavors.
wow.
what it must be like to have something like this!
