n.

A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.

A sensation felt in one part of the body as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in referred pain.

the image Through a memory-like sleep state I am

aware of sensation of sound and image.

I experience feelings of extreme heaviness, almost immobile, as if underwater, yet I can breathe.

As if looking through the lens of a camera, blurred with Vaseline, I see a potato-like and toothpick-like image lying beside each other.

Something full of mass, thick and heavy.

Yet something thin, small and lightweight.

I experience feelings of paralysation.

I cannot move my arms or legs.

My breathing slows down as if I’m not breathing at all.

My eyes are closed, yet they are open to see.

the image

the environment

Behind the images in front of me a yellow and white checkerboard wallpaper.

An image of my childhood in the room I slept in around the age of 8.

Above a windowless, borderless, dark and starry fortress surrounds me.

the environment

I am floating in water. Almost like weightless gravity, but I cannot move.

the environment

the sound The sounds are outside of my head, but not in the

distance.

They penetrate my soul through vibrations.

My brain makes sense of them – though they make no sense. Sounds begin to overlap.

It is a void, but not devoid of feeling or emotion,

as the sounds evoke a kind of trance-like status.
