Hallucinations

[Legal_Eagle]

I "see" (and taste, and feel, and smell) colors often in response to music and other stimuli. Without drugs, of course

It's called synesthesia, and is both interesting and very annoying. For example, when a family member was a child, his voice made me see a blinding white light and I couldn't stand being around him because I wouldn't be able to see when he talked. It made me really sad because he liked hanging out with me. When he got older his voice changed and that went away entirely, and I explained to him why I always acted weird. He finds it interesting and brings it up a lot!

That is crazy fascinating. Do you still experience that with him, or do the stimuli change over time?

After he got older and his voice got lower, I no longer experience it with him.

It's not something that happens with every sound or stimulation, but certain ones. Music makes it very pleasant and colorful. Harsh, or high pitched sounds make the white light. Babies and infants do it a lot, which is one reason I don't like being around them. That one family member is so far the only child that made it happen when he was older (from about three to ten).

I can never remember any dreams I see at night but I have a lot of visions when I'm a bit tired mentally. It's so cool.

Sometimes it's a bit too overwhelming.
