What exactly counts as synesthesia? I definitely am imagining/feeling colors and shapes when I listen to music, but it seems more like a daydream than anything else. Sometimes I also go straight into a memory or even some imaginary scenario if it fits with the music. More than visual stuff, though, I definitely feel music to an incredible extent. Just yesterday I was walking around pissed off that it was cold. I was playing Black Mountain and wasn't too familiar with the album, and a song came on that just immediately lifted my mood...drugs don't even work that good haha.

Do you ever have any of those awkward problems when you know you're dreaming but you're still having a horrible nightmare, and no matter where you go, the bad things from the dream follow you? That's an issue I've had with it in the past.  |
I used to practice lucid dreaming. I actually got the hang of it for a while, but I got out of practice. I actually pay attention to my dreams a lot...if I have an intense dream that sticks with me throughout the day, more often than not it means something in real life will happen that is related to it.
