Questions only!

Post Reply New Topic

If we can only ask questions, and answers are therefore only questions, how can you get an answer when questions are answered with more questions? Even when the question supposedly has an answer, it is a question, so can the question really be considered an answer or is it a questionable answer? Should we question this because it is a question? Are we all questions in the end? Is life one big question?

Who knows?

I have no idea, do you?

Does anyone have any idea?

This avatar or the old one?

What makes one avatar better or worse than the other?

I always thought of synesthesia as a form of sensory transduction? To what extent do other phenomena seem like they border on synesthesia as compared to the full blown thing? Like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3783847/?

Did you know I'm reading that abstract because as a synaesthete I find it very interesting even though I don't experience The Doppler Illusion or any form of hallucination, other than auditory hypnagogia or visual migraines with aura?

What are auditory hypnogogia?

Would you believe they are a form of sleep disorder wherein the individual experiences hallucinated phenomena (auditory, visual, sensory) during the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep (or vice versa), and that in my case I hear voices reading poetry, or conversations that aren't real even though my eyes might be open and I'm awake?

Would you believe it is so transitory that it only lasts a few seconds and I'm aware of it like lucid dreaming, giving me an ability to remember and record some of the poetry?

Also, would you believe mine has been witnessed and diagnosed by a comprehensive, multi-night sleep study with a Respirologist who assured me it isn't schizophrenia -- lol -- but a sleep disorder related in part to synaesthesia?

Does it count if its like a dream bleeding into the last moments of wakefulness occasionally, mixing with perceptions for split seconds?

Are you not the most extraordinary and magical person Isabella? Do you know I am in awe of your superpowers?

Do you know that's a good question, but I don't know the answer because in my case the hypnagogic phenomena are entirely separate from my dreams, even though I frequently read books and write (imaginary but good) poetry in my dreams?

Did you know I once heard about 60 seconds of a "made up" conversation between the characters on Friends during my hypnagogia, and that it was coherent with all the inflection and modality, but the passage doesn't exist in the actual series?
