Since as far back as I can remember I had the vision-proprioception synaesthesia... I literally see some dark-on-dark image of my limbs with my eyes closed.. Ditto for anything I touch. It is not exceptionally exact though. I can concentrate on it, and see more of the objects i am aware of, or see less.
Is that actually uncommon?
Not only do I not have that (as synaesthesia -- I can still have vague mental images of my limbs the way I can with anything else), but if I lie with my eyes closed long enough (say, more than half an hour) I kind of forget which way I'm facing -- though I suppose this description wouldn't really make sense to people who haven't experienced this.
No idea, people i ask irl don't have it. I thought everyone had it.
