Wow... I feel dumb.. I got hit by a
car when I was five and got brain trauma. Ever since then I've been able to see
space, time is a little fuzzy as it's intertwined with space. But this explains
everything from my eidetic memory, sound and pheromone residue etc etc.. but
every night at about 8pm est earth is swamped by a strange green glow. Never
finding any information on what it is.. or why some but not all street lamp
posts have black and purple beams radiating upward and never changes with the
angling of the perceived space. But the green fog is like ambient energy more
like a light cloud..and seeing that it's not hallucinations... They have to be
caused by something
. But it's never a sound, number,
symbols spoken words or tastes..

i have this for the year, week,
day, time and other things like if you talk about a country, city etc its
involuntary, not sure if I have any other type of synethesia, pretty sure my
father was also synethetic

I don't know if I'm synesthetic but
I have the calendar one, like, all times, hours, days, weeks, months, etc. it's
all 3D, and the numbers one appears as a downwards spiral, and all the numbers
line up, like, I can rotate the spiral, and underneath 1 is 11, then 21, 31
etc. also letters. It's like a rope that starts ahead of me, and then I'm
standing right next to N, and then the rope continues backwards.

I am 63, and found out a month ago
that I have the Spacial Sequence Synesthesia. I had no idea not everyone thinks
this way! That explains my freakish memory of dates and time. Lol
My SSS goes all the way back to my
first memories. Pretty interesting!

I'm completely blown away after
knowing I've had this for years, but finally coming across this picture which
actually perfectly describes how I 'see' things. SO hard to explain to others.

I have a timeline one that has been
with me as long as I can remember [deep into childhood, and I can remember
lying in my pram as a baby]: I tried to draw a diagram of how I see the years
of my life in space - at least in my head - and it only kind of represented it:
when I look at it, it's just plain wrong as a gestalt, even though it is as
close to externalising as I can get. It's like when I try to explain it to
someone else, simply trying pushes the image further from my mind until I don't
see it...

During a discussion about another
friends concussion, the brain topic came up. I told some friends, “August is
down there”, they laughed. Then they asked about another month and I told them
January was above my right shoulder. I got odd looks. I was perplexed, I
thought everyone looked at the months like I do. I go up to Wednesday slide
down to Friday, up to Saturday, etc, etc. Now I know.

For me, time is a deep ocean Blue.
My memories are a staircase, if I go down the bottom floors are a deep indigo,
if I go up they are red. I see most concepts and thoughts on a 3 dimensional
holographic plane. My thought train starts with an idea or concept -> motion
-> colour -> temperature/texture/tone/hue(saturation level)/emotion ->
then into internal weather which I translate via poetic metaphor. Have been
doing this for almost five years now. Time is a substantial variable in my
frame of mind, it’s on a sliding track from left to right. (Can be contacted

I see time and numbers and the
alphabet as a sideways ladder or line with colours as well

This is SO COOL! I was just asking
my friends about how they visualize the days of the week, and nobody could
understand what I was explaining, then I stumbled upon this while researching
something else. I don’t see color, but the arrangement of months, dates,
numbers and weekdays are all in different spatial sequences.

I only recently discovered that I
had this when my son taught me what synesthesia was! He sees numbers and days
in colours. When discussing this with my husbands family, somehow the dates and
months etc came up and I explained how I saw them in a 3d pattern around me
(numbers almost in a spiral staircase formation, months and days of week in a
circle formation around me and every day/month has its particular spot and
shade). Turns out, not everyone thinks like this! I had assumed it was my brain
as a kid helping me memorize these things, and that everyone had their own
similar patterns. Seems as though my son inherited his synesthesia from me,
although no idea who I inherited mine from.
