Senses,sensation, preception
March 17, 2014 at 3:50 pm
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?

No, but even as a child I imagined "seeing" music, or what I imagined music looked like. Turns out they say that taking LSD confuses perception in the brain so that you can "see" sounds and "hear" colors. I guess I was just weird and didn't need any mind-altering drugs.

Connection between things, I think its lovely what you feel.

I feel noise is black , sleeping is white and a disease is fluffy and spongy .

Not quite what I meant. More like different senses aren't separate like people keep saying they are. I'm blind so I don't see anything but bits of "light". But more like extra sense along with what's already there.

In danger of sounding like Carlos Castaneda, perception IS everything...

When I experimented with drugs when I was much younger (mushrooms mostly), I felt and seen many things extraordinary and weird due perception shift.

With one of your senses missing your perception is most likely focused in different direction, which is acceptable and perfectly normal IMO Big Grin

I think they covered this on QI a while back, actually. It's very interesting, but not something I have ever really experienced myself.

It's a British TV panel show with Stephen Fry where they mostly discuss interesting facts and stuff.
