I think these abilities may be present in most folks, or even latent, just supressed.

I couldn't taste food without a mouthful until I went a week without it. Then, I dreamed of food, in color, and tasted it all... Waking up wasn't so pleasant.

I might have developed the smell ability, but other factors interfered, and it is just as well.

But can you taste food now,when you think of it;when you want to?

What about hearing someone's voice,on recall and matching colors without a swatch? :-)
