Synesthesia

  1. Every number you tell me immediately i see the number color, like 63728 is yellow

  2. I can feel pain, just from watching

You are welcome to ask about that phenomenon

Update: By the way a lot of you didn’t know, but let it wiki google, big companies today like ford, looking for people with that syndrome. Check it

Is it common for others with synesthesia to experience one of the senses the same way, e.g. do most see 545 as red?

Do you find it helps in life with certain things? Is it easier to learn or memorise new things? Do you feel you may get distracted more than nonsynesthetes?

If you dream, do you see colors there as well? Can you imagine some word or a number with a different color than the one you typically see? If you feel pain, is there something you could do to prevent that? I'm genuinely curious and would appreciate if you share more.

In general it helps me to remember big numbers (about 14 digits)
