I have never given my synaesthesia any thought until now..and I certainly didn’t know everyone didn’t associate words with certain colors the way I do. Thursday = dark green. Wednesday = light blue. Monday = red. Tuesday = light green. Sunday = yellow. Saturday = dark red. Friday = dark yellow. I tried to picture the words with other colors and it does not seem right to me.

I have linguistic synaesthesia, grapheme-color, sequencing-spacial, and personality-color. For example, my best friend’s name is Samantha, which is royal blue, but her personality color is light pumpkin. Also, linguistic synaesthesia is saying numbers or letters or other objects have personalities (nope, stuffed animals don’t count). For example, 5 is the mother of 2 and got divorced from 10 because he was a drug addict, etc. Also, for some reason I think everything should be fair. My feet for instance. When I walk a certain distance I make sure to stop on the opposite foot that I started with, to make sure they have taken an equal number of steps. Or, if I haven’t paid attention I go by what “feels” like it has done more. Is this linguistic synaesthesia? Does anyone else
experience this?For all you non-synesthetes: When you imagine the word “Friday” in you mind,what do you see? I always imagine it red, because I’m a synesthete. But how do you see it? Disregard the next sentence because I was un able to backspace anything after this sentence. when I always imagine it a red, because I’m s

Every person is associated with a color. But time me it’s very logical. I even have a color. I’m a green. Most people’s colors go with their favorite color. And I also get those millions if black and white dots all the time. 24/7 almost like static on a tv. But I have 20/20 vision. I also ‘feel’ music. Like if a note or something is messed up or someone mixes 2 songs incorrectly and doesn’t best match, it becomes very painful for me to the point I even express it on my face. I don’t know. I still think most people see stuff that way. There’s other stuff but I wanna keep thinking it’s normal. Lol.

Damn! I wish I had it. Sadly I am not synesthetic but I read somewhere that everyone has a little bit of it. I guess at times I have smelled something and described it as a color, when i was 9. I have always thought of the number 4 as green, 5 as blue, and 6 as red. I felt like my life felt that color (eg. when i was in grade 4 i felt green, in grade 5 i felt blue, and in grade 6 i felt red.) Well im not really synesthetic and i might be imagining it. Can anyone tell me if there as any way to “learn” synesthesia or get it other than drugs or getting into an accident >.> i’d rather not go through the pain.

I used my synaesthesia to learn my times tables! haha. For example, 6×3 = 18 would be seen as pink times blue equals white and dark green!!!

Same with those who use drugs to do so. why? Drug abuse is very much akin to witchcraft – potions – that change the spiritual perceptions of the user. There is an opinion in Judaism that Moses was only able to “see” G-d because of synaethesia-like circumstances. Moses heard His Words and “saw” the Speaker. Language is considered very holy – what G-d created He “spoke” into existence – and commanded parts of this “dialogue” to be recorded. Kaballah.
