Perception of Synesthesia??!?!?

Okay, so I know I have some forms of synesthesia. I associate colors with months and days of the week. (April is purple, Monday is red) I associate personalities with most numbers and colors. (8 is a flirt, K is a quiet, feminine creature) And time has spacial locations. (December is in teh top left hand corner, Tomorrow is east, 1976 is "farther away" than 1986.)

My question is, I THINK I have number--> color synetshesia. I associate colors with letters, but I don't see the letters in color. In my mind, If I think of the letter A, My mind is bathed in a beautiful sky blue. If I see that an A is written in red, I get angry cuz its not right. However, its mostly words that have color and texture. The name Roger is red and soft, Stephanie is a shy pink and green word.

IF I don't see teh words and letters in color, I just think them when I hear or think the name or letter, does that mean I do or do not have synsthestic words?

PS: It runs in my family, if it helps. Three cousins have it. Two have sound--> color, One of those two can soemtiems taste words, and another sees numbers as color.

    Yes, it's still synesthesia even if the colors are only in your mind's eye. That's called associated synesthesia. It's actually a lot more common than projected synesthesia, which is when you actually see the colors in your field of vision.

    Synesthesia is the situation the senses %. up archives many situations appropriate with yet yet another adventure--Like "Seeing" sounds or listening to colours. It has no longer something to do with so reported as "extra effective valuable Sensory theory.---------------Undocumented techniques to a attitude or the numerous "adventure techniques" (Telepathy) collect archives by making use of utilising non actual skill from remote places (Clairvoyance) or apparently "bypass units with the techniques" (Psychokinesis) The ESP "6th adventure" is in undemanding words a literary Metaphor word, comparing such techniques to the actual senses, that have no relationship to it. What we call "ESP" apparently relies upon on some very unique cutting-edge Physics, on an identical time with "Quantum Entanglements" and a threat "parallel universes", etc. Theories that weren't obtainable indoors the previous due nineteenth Century on an identical time as Scientists declared ESP ought to no longer exist.--- cutting-edge learn stills is going on in spite of the previous classic verdict of early technological comprehend-how.
