Blue isn't blue and yellow isn't yellow  .
Yoni massage is pale grey and makes my arms feel funny.
The sensation and colour has no connection with the meaning of the word or phrase. The word 'money' for instance makes me feel as if my mouth is full of something soft and my nose tingles. | |||

"No I can't however I see words as colours and feel them as sensations. I could draw an apple that you'd recognise but nobody would frame it and hang it at the Tate" Now that is fascinating to me (obviously to you it may or may not be as I assume you grew up with it, and hence it's normal to you ?) May I ask ? If a word is a colour, is the same colour seen whether the word is spoken or written ? . If "Bob" said, "Radio", and "Mary" said "Radio" is the colour seen the same ? Or roughly the same colour with some variations due to Bob's intonation and Mary's intonation ? . How does eating common garden (nothing unusual) mushrooms affect you ? Do they provoke a response ? . Are there any colours "missing" which no word will conjure ? . Sorry to ask so many questions ! | |||

"I see an apple, a red shiny apple with a little stalk with a leaf still attached Not sure I could draw it from memory, but it would have the features I described and be the right shape" Highly visual, like myself. I must admit, I thought everyone was like this and it's quite amazing to hear they are most definitely not. | |||

"My apple would be like a cox apple, part reddish part green, not shiney or pretty and would have a bite taken out of it showing a crisp, juicy interior " I like your visualisation, it's verging on hyper-visual. Curiously the bite taken out of it showing a crisp, juicy interior verges on eroticism, but I've leave a deeper analysis of that out. | |||

Hello Vodevil, do you mind me asking how your synaesthesia affect you and in what way ?" Honestly, I am SO excited to chat with another synaesthete! I was in my mid twenties before I realised not everyone had it, even older before I looked into it being an actual thing! How about you? Like you; colours for words, letters, numbers Also people, musical instrument sounds and notes. I feel sensation in various parts of my body but only for certain things. | |||

"Mrs DS said to me "When you think of an apple, what do you see, in your mind's eye?" I explained I see a 3D image of a Granny Smith. It's mostly smooth, but a bit misshapen in places. In some areas, its textured more roughly and starting to russet, other areas are shiny. There's a brown hole where an inquisitive blackbird has pecked at it. A small gouge in another where it fell and hit a stick on the floor. A stubby little stalk, with one crisped and browning leaf hanging on for dear life. By this point I can usually taste and/or smell the apple. I asked her what she conjured and she said "A 2D vector art/line drawing in black and white." We asked a friend and she said "I cannot imagine an apple at all. I really cannot visualise one in any way shape or form". Here's the really strange part (if the above wasn't strange enough as it is). I could not draw one from visualisation. I cannot draw for toffee. Mrs DS can draw fairly well from memory. And our friend who cannot visualise at all, could with a sample in front of her draw the most life-life example you'd ever see. It makes no sense. I've love to know which rabbit hole to descend down to learn more about this human trait. Can you see an apple ? " I can visualise an apple. I struggle visualise something I've not seen. Example; I can't imagine what a room might look like if the furniture within it was arranged differently. My drawing skills peaked at approx age 5 | |||

I can't really remember how old I was but I do recall mentioning it to a friend at primary school who looked at me like I was something out of The Chrysalids
Numbers, some music and some people.
I think everyone is synaesthetic to an extent otherwise why describe cowards as yellow or moods as blue or black? | |||

Mr N is always explaining his latest project to me and unless he actually draws it I have no idea what it's going to look like. The words are literally meaningless to me. | |||

"I think everyone is synaesthetic to an extent otherwise why describe cowards as yellow or moods as blue or black?" That's an acute observation I feel. Many words in the English language are mixed emotively to describe how we feel, and those phrases have been around for aeons. "I'm having a blue day" "He was red with rage" "You yellow-bellied coward" "She was green with envy" "He's a black-hearted Son of a B" It does make you wonder, how those colours explicitly became associated with those emotions, and why those colours and not others ? I mean, "having a blue day". It means being a bit down, depressed. Why blue ? blue is a nice colour imho. I find nothing depressing about blue personally. Even if the phrase was "having a grey day" which means dull, boring, lifeless. I love grey, it's one of my favourite colours. I don't see grey in any way negative or dull. It's just another colour and an attractive one to me. | |||

"It's an interesting post. And one that I cannot even begin to give a coherent and meaningful response. I find it relatively easy to draw still life from memory, simplistic and linear objects, which are man made and easily brought to the fore from my imagination. However, for the life of me I cannot even remotely picture from the depths of my cerebral images of my family, parents, siblings etc. Therefore I couldn't even draw an outline of their faces or anything rudimentary." I'll take a gamble and posit that you work in a technically demanding role ? Some form of engineering disciple ? Where precision and certainty are paramount ? This, in my mind might explain your keenly developed sense in this arena, and it's common for other less critical senses to shrink to allow the dominant sense to expand and grow. Alternatively, I could be sprouting complete bollocks  | |||

"I saw everything you described. I'm also learning to draw and I do pretty nicely just drawing what I see, nothing realistic but looking at my drawing Vs the image you'd know they were the same" A keenly developed eye for detail and highly astute comparison skills. I wonder if you are one of those folks who can look at 2 photos and easily find the 10 differences on one of the photos in seconds ? | |||
