What is synesthesia?
It's a neuropsychological condition in which colors are heard, sounds are seen, tastes are felt or when touching a surface you can taste. About 1% of the population is synesthetic and certain psychedelic substances produce the same effect, that is, we can taste the words or feel that we see music (like taking LSD or similars). Synesthesia is difficult for some to explain but very easy for others to understand, especially for synesthetic people.
Synesthesia works even if we have some damaged sense. For example if you were colorblind you would be able to see colors never seen when listening music. Art and music in general seem to be closely related to the synaesthetic world, and having this unique perception can enhance creativity.
Franz Liszt, who was a famous romantic pianist of the romanticism and synesthetic, he was very angry because he said that the musicians played too much pink and he wanted them to play more blue. Rimbaud has some synesthetic poems, Baudelaire, Wagner, Kandinski were also synesthetic artists.
Synesthesia is sometimes related to the paranormal world, that's why certain people say they can see the aura or have certain abilities or psychic perceptions but actually have synesthesia. In this way, the scientific community can explain some of these phenomena... but not all of them.

I heard about first time on New Year’s Eve, when one of the guests at our party told me she had this condition. She explained to me how some words were green or blue and yes also about food. It’s certainly something paranormal about it, but somehow it made sense, I got it. Super interesting and nice to read more about it @kastiuz
Thanks a lot for reading me! ;D Synesthesic condition may be interesting to experience but at same time must be overwhelming and a little scary :(
