i know somone who can only think in green. they dream in green (differnt shades of the same hue of green) they remember in green, they think and imagine in green. they can recognise and see in coulours they just cant see them in their head. i have googled this and i cant find anything. does any one know why this might be or who to ask?
I am very confident that im not having my leg pulled or anything like that.
If memory serves me correctly here, there is a syndrome called 'Synothesia'. If I have time I'll try to look up the precise term later today. Loosely concept is that the hard-wiring in the brain is different to the normal brain structure and that the senses are perceived in a confused, but interesting fashion.
For instance, someone with the syndrome may perceive sounds or odours as colour. Or they may represent numerals as colours in terms of normal thought processes. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, and is largely down to how cognition develops in the foetus and young infant. Past a certain age, perhaps, around 7 or so, the brain's neural development or hard wiring is almost fixed permanently, after which time it becomes less and less pliable. So, theoretically, everyone has the capability to experience synothesia, but it is an exceptionally rare but, nevertheless medically documented condition and encountered by psychologists.
The one strange thing you've described is that only green is seen, a limiting condition, whereas usually the condition extends an individual's cognition well beyond the human norm. Hope that is of some help to you.

When you say that you 'researched' colour synesthesia, what do you mean exactly? From the gap between your previous postings your extensive research took exactly nine minutes. Wish I could do all my research that quickly!
