[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 384344"] I'm not sure I can explain beyond that. Certain situations or emotions have certain tastes or smells to them, at least to me, irregardless of what is around me or what I have eaten that day. I couldn't tell you if it's somehow memory related (as smell and memory are closely linked) or a cross-circuit in my brain. It's not overwhelming, but I think I was in high school before I realized that was not a normal thing for most people. You may hear gifted people (and esp gifted kids) mixing metaphors, and sometimes (if not often) it is because they actually experience it in this way. If I say "This just doesn't taste right," in regard to a situation, it's because I am really tasting it, and yes it does have its own taste to me. Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) sounds a more expanded version of such. I'm also more sensitive to colors triggering emotions, or perhaps just more conscious of it than most people, if a little off the beaten path. It's known that certain colors are better for interrogation rooms, or grocery stores, etc., but I tend towards different reactions to those same colors than the people they studied. Ditto for aromatherapy, in which I have discovered memory is very closely linked for me. If I describe a certain color as soft/cold/etc., it's not because of the visual impact but what I would expect it to feel like when I touch it. [/QUOTE]
