im aware Synaesthesia aids me immensly in life, to overcome the obstacle of being visually impaired.
To have another within a sexual relationship that can harness this power would be awesome MistressDread! Bring it on! (i wish). But as lust for DarkAngel is coffee, mine is chocolate flavoured, but the dark dark good chocolate. So how would you harness it for another.
I realise that you can teach someone to perceive things as completely different to the way the brain initially interpreted something eg. Pain is substituted for pleasure. But at best, that would be reliant on the the teacher being there. Those of us bdsm'rs for instance, do NOT enjoy the pain of wax hair removal and for me, this pain is not violets, but rust flavoured. So the new pathways taught in bdsm, do not crossover to all pain, just those taught in vivo.
Sensations come in smells eg. pain = violets but bad pain i experience as rust taste.
My partners have always been green, but none so bright as my Dom, and the flicker of red, which then glows brighter is a new colour for me. Slightly scary as some of the worst people i have met, have been red! I would say, clinically, most psychopaths are red. i tend to avoid red people, certainly none of my friends are red, most of them being either blue or green. I 'know' instantly if im compatable with someone if they are either blue or green, i know from experience, im likely to enjoy sharing time with this person.
Learning to spell was easier as words come in colours. Like some flash card que for me.
I went to one of those alternative therapy festivals, and attended something on reading aura's. This seemed familiar to me for obvious reasons. I asked the woman giving the talk if she'd heard of Synaesthesia, to which she replied that she had indeed heard of it, that to her, this was someone with a gift in denial? Nothing quite like being biased eh? I do not read aura's, couldnt if i tried, i can tell what colour people are, can even see when they are suffering as something happens to the colour and taste of them, but aura's? i dont think so.
and i have a love of glitter and pink that is pure Synaesthesic abuse lol. when i see glitter or pink, i feel excited. A bit like having your home pharmacopia at your finger tips.
Chrome: i once indulged myself and bought the usual kitchen appliances in chrome. Mirrors and chrome things hurt, not in a good way either, they were all dark purple and gave me a headache and felt dreadful, the new kitchen lasted a month! I just couldnt take it any longer.
and green lazer lights that you may find at a club for instance, standing inside the light of this is orgasmic for me. I can and do monopolise on these triggers i seem to have. But trying to explain this to someone is so difficult. Others see this as a imagination. But it is not something you can either conjour up or make dissappear- it simply is. There is no control, except to say, my home is decorated to indulge my Synaesthesia to the maximum. Mood lighting takes on a whole new meaning for me.
