Does anyone else get these feelings? Dark feels fleece. Stomach aches are spiky and yellow. Shocking stuff taste like vinegar. Three is pink. The feel of petals taste like water. Does any of that make sense?

You can definitely get a crossover between senses, and sometimes it's useful: great musicians like Mozart associated sound with colors, for example, and might actually have visualized music in addition to internally "hearing" it. I think if you have this crossover, you are likely to be very successful as an artist or musician, as the ability to map one impression onto another medium really is one of the features of artistic genius. If you can do anything like this voluntarily, then I am deeply jealous of you.

LSD does this very much. Under its effects, I could sometimes smell music, or feel what I was looking at, etc.

Not under any chemical influence, I sometimes see sounds as kaleidoscope-like geometric patterns, especially when I'm half asleep. Loud sounds which suddenly wake me up sometimes leave a very strong visual perception. It's clearly just a little glitch in brain chemistry, but it's not harmful, and is kind of a neat experience when it does happen.

-edit-
The experience of crossed sensations is so common that there's a word for it:
Wikipedia: "Synesthesia"

Thank u I'm going to look further into this! It doesn't seem like anyone else is in with my tasting things but everything else including the whole sensory overload adds ups! I there doesn't seem to be a way to figure in a exact diagnosis and relies on self reporting.

I've read about a dude who snorted some LSD and could see music.

BQ, you're wrong...
3 is yellow.
2 is blue.
1 is black.
4 is purple.
5 is golden.
6 is brown.
7 is weird.
8 is dark blue.
9 is red.
10 is black and white.

It's the best show ever made and it's freely available on YouTube. There are 11 series so far I think. Careful though it is addictive.....
