Just did sense memory for the first time in my college class. I picked something rooted in fear, and I felt fine for most of the day, but now I feel like breaking down and bawling my eyes out. Either way, it did seem useful, I just definitely need therapy before I can use it the way I did.

[ecrivonlunyx]

This is wonderfully comprehensive abd useful! Do you have a blog where you write these out?

[Nikki.Nasvytis]

Wonderful descriptions ! Funny from the perspective of a healing/growing autistic/adhder. Many senses, like hunger even, are common for an Aut to lack !

To add to your list:
-Awareness (sense of how expanded/how much information you are able to be aware of)
-Energy levels (feeds into our emotions, low, high, but also pent up)
-Valence (positive/open/willing to let energy flow/accepting vs back, also feeds our emotions) might be 2 senses here (also our own and others)
-Togetherness/Unity (Contracted emotions = I vs You, Expanded = We, I am part of something bigger) - integral to Feeling you are part of a Family or Team - this also expands all the way to a sense of being one with all of humanity, then life, then the universe/god
-Awe/Wonder (we say A Sense of.. not emotion?)
-Visual Depth - I can see, but my lenses (according to your video), toggle between flat and deep/detailed perception
-perhaps a sense of someone's Intention - though this could go with sensing their energy and valence though, or perhaps as intuition
-Desire (could go with Attraction, but towards objects and situations as well)
-Coherence - if your heart rate is consistent and your body is humming along or if HR is out of whack

I'd so love your input as an actor on - Do you define a Sense as a Feeling that pertains to a specific aspect? What defines an emotion?
Because I had Emotions all of my life, but I never knew my ability to Feel was very constricted before.
And it makes life completely different !

Fun add ons to paranormal:
-Clairsentience feeling
-Claircognizance knowing
-Clairalience smell
-Clairgustance taste

Thanks as a fiction writer this is useful information.

[MarkPeotter]

Thank you for making this video! I just watched 2 other lame attempts at listing other senses. Bravo to you!

[mahdiehhaqiqat]

thanks a lot. could you introduce articles for 50 senses?

[danestotzer]

Very interesting. However, many of the experiences you list are how the brain interpreted the input from the senses. You are sub classifying some sences; like touch, pressure, temperature; but not others like site or taste.
What I found very intriguing is memory as a sense. Can a memory
, with no other input/trigger, be the only source of the brains feeling/interpretation?

[Vates]

Thank you, Doug. This helps me as a writer.

[kittenslayer]

I already know my sense of smell is at least damaged (although my taste is mostly fine), I'm having other sense issues like hunger, thirst, not feeling cold, I'm just relearning how to sense or test them.
I was just shivering but didn't feel cold so I wore a blanket and eureka I am warm and calm. 🤷‍♂️

[j.d.s]

I think...I am the only one watching your videos...!!!

Why aren't you getting more views???

[PrenticeJohnson]

You mention the sense of 'Agency, ' but, you don't mention the 'Subconscious' as a sense. The first thought or natural behavior when faced with a decision. The original sense or veracity and perception.

[elevenelevenventures]

This is incredibly cool 2 how I ran in2 your channel 😇. I’ve always thought about acting 🎭! I do have a channel as well @Eleven Eleven Ventures, I never considered it as acting though! I never knew we have crystals in our ear, very cool! Magneto reception is also dear to my heart! Time is now! Premonition! Comprehensive thought process! Recollection is happening Now! Agency Free will! Fashion may be why spirit animals frequently visit me! Timing is so important! Morality up or Down hot or cold, great news or bad news! Reality’s are new beginnings of perception which is our new reality! Thanks I’ll check out more videos!

[diegomoreno]

so eventually those other senses fall within the main 5 categories right

[ThegalaxyfireCJ]

I learnt a lot like Zoro does not have MAGNETORECEPTION

[hydrolito]

When the woman said ghost I saw a white owl maybe she forgot her glasses.

[Vates]

I believe there are eight basic or primary senses. The Aristotelian five, plus the kinesthetic Spence; the vestibular sense, and the visceral sense: our sense of our bodies that enables us to know our bodies are in space, in other words for we did not have that sense we couldn’t walk or move or hold things etc; and the sense of balance; and the sense of hunger and thirst a asnd nausea; I believe that all other senses fall under these classifications.

[claireharding]

The tougne doesn't have different taste zones, this theory was proven incorrect years ago.

[ephyjr.]

These are things we should've been told as kids🤦🏾‍♂️ guess we have to start the process ourselves
