Synethesia, Visualization, and Inner Subtitles with Aaron Adair

Send a text

In this episode, I talk with Aaron, who has synesthesia. Synethsesia is where stimulating one sense automatically triggers another sense. Synethesia can present itself in many different ways but in Aaron's case, it mostly occurs with numbers, letters, and shapes being automatically linked to specific colors. Also, different types of music are often linked to specific colors, patterns, and scenes. As always, they thought it was "normal" and everyone was this way. Aaron shares some very interesting things like, their visualization is often blurry, their mind is like a projector that only faces to the front, everything they hear shows up as subtitles that they also read, they get inspiration for their artwork, from their dreams, they can turn their visual thoughts off but not their audible ones, and much more.
