The nearest I come to these sort of experiences is when I have been playing a lot of chess. I see any movment in terms of the chess board i.e. that was a knights move etc.

There was something on the idiot box a long while ago about synaesthesia which I really would like to see again because what little I saw was thoroughly fascinating, particularly given my interest in Messiaen. The manner in which colour informed much of his music due to his synaesthesia has always piqued my interest.
The doco I saw put it across as some sort of "cross-wiring of the senses" and I was unaware of other varieties of the condition such as hearing a sound and literally being able to smell something as a result - fascinating stuff, would really like to know more sometime.

Soubasse, why bother just trying to learn more?
You should be trying to become that and experience it for yourself.
I recommend taking Joe Perry's place in Aerosmith.
A couple of whacks with a mike stand should get you going, onstage too!
sigh... I know this is the era of appropriate touching, gloving, living and loving,
and I get enough of that without feeling involved, but I feel the need for a warning here.
Corno Dolce should be careful. I think he's got a rare form of transmittable synaesthesia.
When I read his posts I see glints like off a diamond head,
and the surfing on my computer pulls me into a pipeline of swirling Oahu blue.

*If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-
*Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."
*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."
