I have a very vivid imagination when I read or listen to music or someone talking/reading outloud.

Think that is why the whole world could come to an end when I read or listen to music ..... I wouldn't know about it ... I'm in a world of my own.

(no comments please!) LOL

No, Maggie. But you do become very colour sensitive and combinations of colours have to go together or it feels uncomfortable.

I see the year as a hill, climbing `up` to winter` and `running` down to summer.

LOL.

If you think of the days of the week as colours, does the day of the week you buy paint/wallpaper for the house affect the colour you choose?

I don't have anything like that Jenny, never heard of that one.....

....what I have is cartoons......when someone tells me a funny story, or I read it, I see it as a cartoon and they are so funny sometimes......I thought everyone saw their imagination in this way, but now I know they don't.....

I do that, Viv.

Some people 'hear' music in colours.

Four and counting - come on 'fess up everyone.

No I don't see colours either - shame really

must go now too - spend WAY too much time on here - no wonder I'm knee deep in dust

Hi, I need to pick up kids now too - found this site that suggests it ought to be up to 40% of us! (Sadly I don't see colours - and I dream in black and white)

It's synaesthesia, I have it as well but for me it's mainly colours.

I do know Joan - its Monday and its just at the top of the oblong!!!

I think they are quiet because after reading this intellectual thread; they don't know what day of the week it is !

I will be quiet now and just read. Very interesting x

Well thats three of us then.
Have just been looking up "synaesthia" and it is part of that syndrome. As many as one in 23 people have it and its usually genetic. Well you live and learn, theres obviously quite a few people on here who are keeping quiet!!!

LoL Joan March o'clock - absolutely!

Jenny, I did try talking to others about this years ago, but shut up quick when I got strange looks....

- it's nice to find a comrade.

All the best

I see the year as a sort of band, like a watchstrap. It bends over at the top (Jan), but there is a definite 'start line' around mid-March - I guess I see the start of the year as the zodiacal start (Aries). I also see days of the week as colours!

Joan and Little lost - tut tut you shouldn't mock the afflicted.

Wow Ivy - brilliant - a fellow weirdo!
Can understand your thinking on the clock - wonder why you lump all those months together. I think your summer months and Dec 25th are the same principle as my weekends being at the end of the oblong - because they stand out.

Oh my goodness it's March o'clock - I'd better get off to collect daughter.
Have a good day all

I dont think you should have stopped taking the tablets..lol

Its Ok Joan didn't really take offence (I've just put your name in my little black book to be watched out for!!!!)


Only joking
