| This is what you see: |
Each letter and each number have a colour. They
are always colours from nature, no glaring colours. When I think a word,
the colour imagination dominates the shape imagination, i. e. I see a coloured
streak with my mind's eye. The colour of a word is essentially determined
by the vowels that have more intense colours, therefore a two-syllable word,
for example, appears more or less two-coloured. This facilitates my memory
for certain (foreign) words and terms. Regarding numbers, the contrary is
the case. As every number with several digits forms a row of colours, only
the prominently coloured digits stay in my memory (e.g. 4). Numbers that
consist or many different digits are simply too colourful for me and can
hardly be remembered. |
