Synesthesia anyone?!
Question: Has anyone heard of this? For the longest time i never thought anything of the fact that certain words had colours... errr, or that i automatically associate words with different colours. Its the same with music... i feel different colours from different musical notes, or even parts of songs. But one day it came up in conversation with a friend of mine, and he started trying to tell me that its actually some sort of condition? I've been reading on Wikipedia etc. but nothing has really been very informative. I know this sounds weird, but should i feel inclined to go for some sort of neurological testing to see if my brain is going to short circuit? Does anyone else have experiences like this?

Synaesthesia is often associated with genius or insanity.
You sound pretty sane and this hasn't just come on rapidly, so likely no problem, maybe even a gift.
