Have you ever experienced synesthesia?

Asked by Mariah (25883points) July 5th, 2010

One form of synesthesia is when you perceive a stimulus with a sense other than the sense that normally perceives that kind of stimulus. For instance, seeing sounds or smelling colors.

A different form called grapheme-color synesthesia is when you associate a color with letters or numbers.

There are other kinds too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia

While I definitely haven’t ever smelled a color or anything like that, I do experience grapheme-color synesthesia. Every letter of the alphabet, every one digit number and some two-digit numbers, and each day of the week have always had colors in my mind.

Anyone else?
