I think I would take abuse of that ability in an entirely different way *ahem* in the first place, but I'm sure that when you get the hang of it, you'll try all sorts of different stuff.

I haven't really got a schedule, but I did read some stuff about lucid dreams years ago and I figured I should be able to do it, too.

This is very cool to me. I don't necessarily do this with colors, but I do get very specific feelings from the energy of each song, often that have nothing to do with the lyrics. I just make up my own stories. Do you have synesthesia, by any chance, though? The color thing kind of sounds like it, and that's mega-interesting to look into if you've not already!

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that.

I do hope the opportunity presents itself again in the not-so-distant future!

I agree with all of this!

My plans are to move to Romania, actually. Teaching myself Romanian is pretty rough, though.

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.

25. I won my high school award for 'making the biggest contribution to the social life of the college'.

I find all of the above insanely cool. The ability to play multiple instruments and speak multiple languages in particular. I just speak English, very poor Spanish, very very poor French, and am learning Romanian (with piss poor results.)

I'm currently trying to learn. Used to just "wish" I could played, then thought I was completely inept...I believe "guitarded" was the term I used to describe it. But now I can actually play some songs and such, never having taken lessons or anything, and I've only been playing about 7 months or so. I really believe that anyone can do it if they put time into it. If you're more coordinated than I am, you'd probably be able to be way better than I am right now in a fairly short period of time.

25. I love the nighttime more than the daytime.

All of these! Except I'm just terrified to sing in front of people. It is much better when I'm playing guitar, but that's still my issue with the whole singin' thing. Also, 5 is my lucky number!

I'm just a person who can learn a language pretty easily. I go on holiday and within a week I'm fluent to the point I don't have to use English if I don't want to do so.

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.

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.
