A Synesthete's Synesthesia

Experiencing Beethovens' Moonlight Sonata ; the sensation of warm water crawls up my skin and i begin to float, above me a full moon, slightly tinted gold...One of my favorite musical masterpieces...
Now say, we listen to Mozart Abertura; A dozen  frenzied race horses begin to run around me; as a sharp blade slices skin  repeatedly faster and faster! I really hate most of Mozarts shit, it is literally painful and an awful experience for my senses, it hurts. 
Yesterday I learned how to play dominoes, the game was pleasant and simple enough.. But I purchased the color coded number dominoes instead of the standard black and white . Looking at the 6 dots on the domino as Orange instead of the color I normally see which is black was a bit overwhelming for my senses... Same with all the other Numbers and Color coordination on the dominoes, none of them matched what I normally see..  
In certain ways I see this as an advantage but it can be overstimulating and unpleasant at times.
