Yes and it's O.K. ;-) I used to study this a lot as it pertains to creative people. Researchers have found that their brain waves do "run" differently and their senses are sometimes more acute than average. I've never been able to do math as it is presented in school, yet I can arrive at solutions for complex mathematical problems in my own way. I think that as we grow we become more comfortable in our uniqueness. In my college music classes the only way I could remember all the songs and artists that were going to be on a test was to memorize the imagery and sometimes colors that I associated with them. I've always dreamt in color and have only had about 5 nightmares in my life (and remember them all!) I've had two dreams that actually came true, too! Kakki
