Can the sense of touch also be linked to dreams in cases of synesthesia?
So the sense of touch is connected to a specific area in the brain that is responsible for dreams.
In dreams, people with whom one has been involved are also processed, so people could also appear as creatures in the dream.
Example:
- Autistic person XY meets woman XY, who has red hair and wears something red.
- Autistic person XY shakes hands with woman XY
- Autistic XY notices for himself that Mrs. XY's skin feels like pudding and is nice and soft.
- Autistic person XY's sense of touch connects Mrs. XY's skin sensation with the flaming pudding from Final Fantasy X, even though autistic person XY has never played Final Fantasy X in her life.
Is it also possible with synesthesia to see certain animals, creatures, monsters, beasts, aliens, etc. in one's mind's eye as soon as one sees a person?
Example:
- Autistic XY sees a woman with red hair who also wears red clothes
- In his mind's eye, autistic person XY sees a flaming pudding from Final Fantasy X, even though autistic person XY doesn't know the game at all.

There are people who think politicians are reptilians, so could it be that these people have synesthesia and see a reptilian in their mind's eye when they see a politician?
There may also be the possibility that you see some creature in your mind's eye and the skin of that person feels like that.
What are your experiences? If such a synesthesia exists, do you have it?

I think that is very unlikely. There is no specific in the brain Areawho is responsible for the dreams. When dreaming, the brain is in a certain Condition is different from the state of watch. That’s how. the color finding “red” triggered by neuronal activity in the area V4 of its visual cortex, whether it sees something red or dreams to see something red or (if it is synaesthet) the sensation arises by hearing the sound C.
Experience of the emergence of any creatures is a complex perception associated with activities of many different areas in the brain, which are usually not adjacent. On the other hand, synesthetic perceptions are very elemental (a color, a tone, a odor, a letter, the name of a weekday, …) and typically come about by cross-connections between adjacent brain regions which are “competent” for respective sensory sensations and the synesthetic perceptions triggered by them. Reports on synesthetic triggered complex In spite of many years of work on the subject of synaesthesia, perceptions have not yet come to me and I think they are very unlikely, for a number of reasons.
Synaesthesia has nothing to do with autism.
