This will make probably very little sense for anyone who doesn’t also experience this but I will try and explain it.
For a good long while now, I have noticed that when I read specific text (or sometimes here a song, or watch a TV program) I have a very real sense of imagining a place connected to it. It’s always a place I know, and always in my home town and always very specific.
For example, when I was reading a specific book recently, in my head I was vividly picturing a place around the corner from me, under a railway bridge as though I was in the middle of the road. Had nothing to do with the book.
I’ve just been researching a bit of software all day and in my head, I am involuntarily imagining standing outside a shop in the town centre, with my back to the shop, looking up the street at the church.
Sometimes, I have read threads on MN and I have been up the far corner of the B&Q car park.
Can anyone relate to this at all or do I sound batshit??

Synesthesia or the ability to see colour when hearing sounds - is it linked to this strange sensation I get??
